  I was chilled to the bone when I read the phrase "robust recruitment process and routine monitoring". Anyone who has dealt with public sector services will know what that means, and it isn't reassuring.

  Why on earth did the GMC let him carry on or was it the old boys network in action. Pinderfields General Hospital seem very complacent about this surgeon, I know I would be very worried if I was his patient.

  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
