I am sure a lot of the problems with consultants goes back to the dark ages when they were letting blood as a cure for most conditions.
They built a sort of aura around themselves that they were really special people and the problem is management still seem to believe that.
Joe public now know they are ordinary human beings but hopefully with a great deal of medical knowledge but they are no longer 'gods' and should not be treated as such. It should be in hospital doctors and consultants contracts they have to go to local hospitals if required.

Sorry Jan I moght have created some confusion by my use of words , when I said contracted to do so , what I meant was if the Trust or PCT has a contract to provide a servce in an area , NOT that an individual consultant has to have the location of his clinics listed in his/her contract of employment.

Cheers Jan and thank you, it just goes to show how specific and complex the wording used in the NHS is , and how it can alter the meaning for people who dont have the background info.

Very interesting posts. Hopefully our junior doctors coming up the ranks will not have this 'Special People' attitude that Jan refers to and that kind of arrogance is left in the past. Looking forward to Reg's rally

Fortunately most of the younger docs I know have a more human aspect! But old habits die hard!!
PS - Colette, you might like this one. I am now at the age - ripe and no eejit - when I can say what I think and people think it is ok!! A rather lovely young male doc arrived on one of the wards where I was working a while back and I said, a bit spontaneously, "you're a bit gorgeous, aren't you!" He preened, I smiled, it was ok..............
