It consisted mainly of complaints about the behaviour patterns of the
medical profession and anger because I'm no different - probably worse.
I was less fired up when I re-read it and didn't want to sound more
boring than usual.
Most of us have channelled our lives down a narrow, protected path of a
long, intensive and focused education followed immediately by dedicated
service without lifting our eyes to see the reality of life. Because
we're exposed to the deaths and misery of our patients, their hopes and
resignations, we think we are wise and useful. Whereas, in fact, we have
really sidelined our lives and sublimated intelligence and imagination
into the maws of a service which has never been defined and interrogated
except perhaps by a few philosophers who are quickly labelled and
ignored as 'unrealistic'. Too busy being busy to think.
I think Gerard has covered quite a few of the points I was addressing,
but more succinctly,
