GMC guidance is not a political tool

The question here is ' are these new clauses reflecting common values and what to be expected from majority of people in this country on doctors?'
GMC is living in the shadow of Shipman scandal and inevitably dictated by government's political agenda......Sad time for our profession.......

According to the research medical students are more conformist and during training and subsequent work doctors do become even more conformist.
Now medical profession has a conflict to whom to conform more: state or patient demands.
Conformists tend to conform to whoever they consider higher authority. As patients pay through the taxes but are too remote to have power over doctors' salaries my guess is that state will win again.
On the other hand bad system does make people really sick and eventually it collapses in social turmoil of some sort or another.
