Just before I left surgery this morning I received a telephone call from a researcher for Bruce Forsyth's "Play Your Cards Right" - it's on ITV (so they tell me) so not many of you will have seen it - if you can drag yourselves away from the monitor. I was asked (among other things): Do you think marathon running is a safe form of exercise for busty women? If Des O'Connor lost his voice and you cured him would you tell your friends? Have you ever been offended by a patient asking for a second opinion? If Bruce Forsyth had a face-lift would he be wasting his money? hehehe, and, furthermore, he! -- Iain Hotchkies MBChB ambition: polymath currently: jack of all trades www.hotch.demon.co.uk corollary: master of none %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
