  Abstract

‘It's an emergency doc’. Managing emergency patient encounters in primary care can be both challenging and stressful for GPs. Many problems classified by patients as emergencies in primary care are not, in medical terms, true emergencies. Although this means that you do not always need to summon up your emergency care skills to manage GP emergencies, such cases present their own very special challenge.
