Tsk Tsk. Surely you should know by now that Dr Crippen is the only person in the entire NHS who is in any way competent or qualified to judge others. Don't you realise that he has dedicated his life to his patients and, having (claerly) lots of time spare (presumably because he is able to cure them all by the laying on of hands) he has been able review the training, expertise and morals of every other health care professional in the country and find them wanting. Just because he routinely denigrates your profession and expertise, is that any reson not to like him. :-) (I'm surprised you've put up with it this long - I have pretty much stopped reading Crippen as he is so biased, patronising and ungracious)
