sorry.. I was refering to the original poster, who seems to have spent a
lot of time loking at positions which I would have thought would be
extremely difficult to fill in this day and age. There were even worse
deals around when I entered general practice..
There *is* a serious question behind the smiley: do vacancies offering
relatively unfavourable terms get filled? If they do, what are the
characteristics of a practice that can offer terms less favourable than
most, and still get the vacancy filled?
