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! Declan
