Merci de votre compliment, mon ami.
<<<I think we can all agree that it's a great time to be a professor in
general practice.>>>
Well I suppose I have to be careful what I say but I recall once hearing
that it was difficult to fill a Prof of GP vacancy in a certain medical
school and a particular doctor was being leaned on to take it on. I
wonder how much competition there is for those posts, these days?
I have to say that, while you may look at my spaghetti "career" and give
a sorrowful sigh of sorrow for me, I have not had too many regrets over
it, even the times of suffering opened the way to better things. A bit
like religion, in some ways, but we won't go that way tonight.
Where was I?
Oh yes, one of the few times I found myself wishing I had taken a
slightly different path was back in 1988 at the GP trainee annual
conference when I bumped into Richard Hobbs, Prof of GP at--Leicester?
Someplace like that. He was my age. Seemed like a nice intelligent
bloke, down to earth. And I thought, that might have been me, had I done
things a bit differently.
Ah!
