Abstract
An overview of a GP practice in a rural area is given to illustrate the skills required of those doctors. More organised and appropriate training is needed to equip doctors for this task. The authorities governing medical planning are urged to appreciate this aspect and provide the necessary training programmes; especially as medico-legal threats are facing doctors more and more these days.
