head shotLydia Yarlott is in her final year at Oxford Medical School.

She is the winner of the 2015 BJGP Student Writing Competition themed ‘The GP in the Digital Age’ with her original article A Digital Ache.

Her tale of one GP versus the system will be horribly familiar to anyone who has done battle with the new digital bureaucracy of the NHS.

The PDF version is embedded below – it needs the formatting to get the full benefit. Enjoy.

Many thanks

The acceptable stimulant

"One morning, while happily sipping my aromatic coffee, a colleague looked over and remarked, 'You do drink a lot of coffee'. I dismissed the comment immediately. 'Surely not,' I thought, 'I'm well within the recommended daily caffeine intake.' Or was I?"
