Looks like ED docs are on the endangered species list.
Hence the cost of a decent ED doc is going up. A similar observation happened to the wage of carpenters after the Black Death
The alternative is employing dodgy Carpenters.......
My managers understood the historical story!

seems to be a middle grade crisis, interesting that the press article mentioned the frustration of trying to help the frail elderly as one of the reasons for the demise of the specialty. I’m just about to start my frail elderly care shift in 1 hour, hopefully there will be some “worried well adults” to lighten the load. We won’t have time for anything exciting so drive carefully Norfolk.

"The recruitment drive was launched as it emerged the number of senior A&E doctors could have dropped from 10 to two by August."
Anyone aware of what is happening in Aberdeen?
