I'm thinking that this is vanishingly unlikely to be true. EDs have a lifetime incidence of something like 5%. A GP with a practice of 400 patients (which would not be unusual state-side, I have no idea what practice volumes are like in the NHS system) would be expected to have at least 4-5 patients with ACTIVE ED at any one time and more like 20 who have active or ED history.<br /><br />Most GPs are unaware of how common EDs are in their practice.<br />Most GPs never *recognize* an eating disorder in their practice.<br />Most GPs misdiagnose an eating disorder in their practice.<br />Most GPs are undereducated and underinformed about how to screen for ED in their practice.<br /><br />Et cetera, ad nauseum.IrishUpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011660132120465673.post-32751920272646009902012-05-19T16:02:39.806+01:002012-05-19T16:02:39.806+01:00Like me, being the only female in a household of m...Like me, being the only female in a household of men (apart from the cat, of course, who is a girl).
