Doc Martin, a Cornish villager, writes a song in an effort to find a new GP

People in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, said their proposal was a 'innovative, yet also desperate' effort to replace a GP who is set to retire in just two weeks. Since no doctors responded to advertisements to care for the 5,000-strong population, they have taken Lostwithiel Medical Practice recruitment 'into their own hands and voices.' The song, set to the tune of Nina Simone's "I Got No," is sung by the local choir, pleads for a medic to treat "folks with asthma," "new mothers" and "snot-filled others."
