Dr. Stewart-Mason always wore a bow tie - a spotty one as I remember.....(:o)

plus also, when a camera crew filmed on a ward i was working on a few years ago, they didn't just stand 10 foot away from all the patients, take 10 seconds of film then leave!
They were all over the place, talking to many patients, lining up angles and lighting etc

[Sqad]

bednobs....no! no ! I agree.

So are you telling me that if the camera crew were only going to visit ONE ward, the "Pompous T1t" would have not exploded?

[Sqad]

Den....he did.....but he was a Physician (odd people)

[bednobs]

nope, i am saying he is an idiot too. Clearly he dosen't want "to be told" to be bare below the elbow and it rankles with him

[DEN53]

I think they should get him on the panel of Question Time - it needs a liven up.

I don't think he did make a *** of himself? Why 'should' the t.v crew be allowed to walk around the ward casually dressed when the consultant ect.. had been specificlly asked to dress otherwise? I'm with andy ... I think the consultant felt he'd been manipulated!

[Ellipsis]

This consultant's behaviour was inexcusably pompous and arrogant, especially in front of patients. Whether or not he agrees with the current Government's policies is irrelevant.

To suggest that he lost his rag would make him worse than pompous - it would make him incapable. As a surgeon, you expect him not to have "anger management issues" in the work environment.

I'll go with the notion that he was a pompous tit and not an incompetent danger ...

redhelen........to complete your evisceration.....I also missed out the adjective .."idolised"

dress codes in hospital, what a load of cods, many doctors, nurses, staff, look quite scruffy, most don't wash their hands when administering to the patients, i have seen food trays left for days in staff areas, where they eat. And patients who are not able to get to the bathroom, left to mess themselves and nurses tutting all the while.
I have seen patients families walk in with plates of junk food, burgers, chips, stinking out the place, and mobile phones on all the time. Not a good place to go to when you are ill. And that was in one of the so called top hospitals in London. Private practice in case anyone thinks its just NHS, can be as bad.
