Miss Polly had a dolly

摘要

The nursery rhyme by Dr Corbett1 repeats the mischievous myth that GPs are to blame for the pressures on A&E departments. She should consider adding this verse in the interests of balance-Miss Polly gave her GP stick, stick, stick, For not doing a home visit quick, quick,quick,But she managed to travel to A&E, Though it was further than the surgery! She waited 3 hours and 59 mins Until the nice nurse called her in, The nurse explained it's just a cold, cold,cold, Just as your doctor told, told, told.
