Doctors of Doom

Doctors are apparently the new terrorists. Now you tell any hardened old ward sister that and she'll laugh right there and say something to you along the lines of "Us nurses have known that for years". Of course we're not talking here about them expanding operations to creating terror outside of the hospital but then with some you never really know. I mean you just have to bear in mind the very cross surgeon in Romania who chopped off a penis because he'd had an argument with the scrub nurse - and I can think of at least one psychiatrist who would consider genocide an acceptable method for reducing outpatient waiting times. And you should have seen the sort of scenes that used to ensue at the Royal Free on a Friday morning if the anaesthetists didn't get doughnuts with their morning coffee, they made Hitler's SS seem like a bunch of Sunday school kids on a picnic...
I don't know give someone a white coat and a stethoscope and they think that they can make their own rules.
