I am simply a medical student and pretty much a cynic to whats going on today but I would find it interesting to hear 2 things from those people who both ARE ALLOWED to take part in today's action and HAVE taken part in today's action:

1)- Do you have any stories of anything that happened where you worked- did many docs take part in your practice or hospital?
2)- MORE IMPORTANTLY- Do you think today is/was/will be a success or achieve anything?

BTW- I am not implying that this should be a discussion that breaches confidentiality. That would be silly. Probably doesnt need said but ill say it anyway. Smile

BTW- That was a really bad movie reference I realise. Smile

Of course, I would not countenance any of the measures proposed against a blackleg colleague, would I?

The blackleg doctor

It's in the morning, what a jerk,
When the blackleg doctor creeps to work,
With his pinstripe pants and short sleeved shirt,
There goes the blackleg doctor!

Well he takes his notes and in he goes
To see the patients in a row,
There's not a woman in this ward now
Will look at the blackleg doctor.

 Oh, hospital is a terrible place,
They rub wet swabs in the blackleg's face,
And around the beds they run a trace,
To catch the blackleg doctor!

 So, Doctor, see it as a sign,
Across the way they stretch a line,
To catch the throat and break the spine
Of the dirty blackleg doctor.

 They grab his duds and his stethoscope,
To show him that he’s got no hope.
Away ye go, you silly dope,
You dirty blackleg doctor!

 So join the union while you may.
Don't wait till your dying day,
For that may not be far away,
You dirty blackleg doctor!
