Sqad lives on in the Sixties with dear old Sir Launcelot Spratt and a glorious living in Harley St, the ministry or a Royal College
but things move on
There are already on call residents at the Hospitals and they will continue to turn up and work. Admission day - you now get 60 - yes sixty Sqad I imagine at st swithins you had no more than five in your day.
and then when you were a consultant - your registrar had no more than 10 whilst perhaps your colleagues were down the prive or on the golf course.
week ends are absolutely chaotic 2015 and the young doctors are often supervised by locums who will say 'I am only here for 12 h so you are really on your own'
it is madness to try to extend the service to normal operating hours in these circumstances.
In 1985 a third of the operating at the local children hospital was done out of hours and at week ends by juniors - it is only the resilience of the children that more didnt die .... [ so let's go back to that ....]
I spent 6 pm to 4 am on a hospital trolley in November along with five other admissions in A+E - well at least I wasnt in a corridor - and the admitting registrar refused to see us as he couldnt monitor treatment, so he said he wouldnt start it....
[ you will note that this is in direct contradiction to what a minister said the other day ]

LOL......oh! dear PP you are really misinformed and can only assume that you have never been a doctor at any level I'm the NHS.
For the first 2 years after qualification, I never went to bed on the same day that I awoke. OP,s 40 or 50 patients were routine , operating sessions always full and interesting. Relations between nursing staff and doctors, showed mutual respect, eggs and bacon at 2 am in the kitchen after emergency operations.
It was the best years of my life as a junior doctor.
I could go on....
