I don't do that.
I say compose it, type it up, drop it in and I will sign it if it is OK.
They turn up with a more informed and better balanced letter than I
would have turned out, I may put two words on in ink that I suspect
carry more onviction than the rest, and all are satisfied. And it
costs little or nothing to me so I tend not to charge.
On the other hand if they want my saleable authorial skills and efforts
and those of my capable staff, I sell those.
But come on guys, turn it round...
If you go in as an emergency belly and need an anaesthetic, you might
well offer an opinion or preference to an SR gas person, but would
expect them to take note, think, and then do it right, while exchanging
the odd word with you about what matters, how you are expected to be OK
in the end, how they know what they are up to and have seen one or two
like this before and so on...
(BTW, you probably want an SR not a consultant for an emergency belly,
even nowadays they are more likely to be in practice for it)
Let us do the lady concerned the same favour by ensuring that although
we treat her as a colleague and "one of us" we still don't either
expect more of her than any pregnant lady, or else miss out anyhting
that we should include.
And it would not go amiss to say that that sounds like a pretty good
trip, but don't let it get too hectic, and pop in afterwards and tell
us how it went. Maybe at coffee time instead of ANC time, or perhaps
at home after the list is finished instead of during surgery.
