The Doghouse
In pride of place, the BMA - for being an all-round disappointment, though I must say that the new team is better than the old one by a minute degree. Or maybe not as recounted by Private Eye in their “Medicine balls” column. Brian Butler has been mentioned here before and he is joined by colleagues in the IT & legal departments.
The DoH - for being a mixed bag of contradictory policies but with the worst predominating.
The Royal Colleges - for being asleep on the job & now looking to pass the buck.
The medical establishment, to wit the Deaneries & associated networks including those involved in training - for their callous cynicism.
Connecting for Health - for their singular lack of sense.
I am sure that they will be joined soon by other deserving candidates. I must really add a scoring system to keep a running tally of the level of cluelessness of the above players.

Does the frog realise it is being boiled alive?
GPC chair Dr Laurence Buckman as quoted in Pulse:
I wonder what name he has for being outplayed on both the PR & policy fronts while increasing ceasing to represent his base?

Hi
I’m forwarding an email I received today from Lindsay Cooke who was the coordinator of Mums 4 Medics:
>> Hi Aphra
>> I hope all is very well with you.
>> Take a look at Remedy’s home page and you’ll find an interesting story … I’m on the Remedy committee now and have told
>> Chris that I’ll alert all the medical bloggers to this one - but have no idea how to find their email addresses. So you’re the first
>> - and can you help?
>> Ta ever so
>> Lindsay
You may well know this already of course, but I thought I’d help Lindsay out with reaching the medical blogosphere. It would be kind if you could pass this on to anyone who might be able to blog or otherwise help.
Kind regards
Aphra Behn
