OK, doctors are over-busy but the BMA poster is saying clearly, "don't contact us. Stay away". This is NOT well put , and has the wrong emphasis: either doctors care or they do not. The poster seems to suggest that "go away" is a valid carer's attitude. What a disaster (also because it's becoming true!). Doctors should be saying "let's work together - here's how: . . ." The 'partnership' is essential, surely?
