Tears In My Eyes
26 Answers
Just opened a Christmas card from a couple who were my juniors back in 1974.
They met whilst working for me and subsequently married and had children and grandchildren.
She wanted to be surgeon but I explained that she should think again as she lacked determination, single mindedness,aggression and nastiness to succeed as a surgeon. She took it badly but she had to know.
He, the OH was just a waste of space, lazy and more interested in sport and his bloody sports car.
They both became GPs had 6 children 4 of which became doctors.
They are both retiring now and in the card she wrote that she still
remembers the day that I told her that she would never make a surgeon and how difficult it would have been to tell her (it wasn't)
I did,for a moment have.........tears in my eyes.

royfromaus......seeing your name......lol
I had a junior who was from Australia......bloody good surgeon,nice chap who we will call Paul.
Every summer we had a sort of fete at the hospital starting with a tennis tournament, nurses, doctors and any employee of the hospital who could play tennis. Cup for the men's winner and one for the mixed doubles. This was followed by a barbecue and then a bit of a knees up..know what I mean cobber z-;)
I asked Paul to play but he refused saying that he was no bloody good at tennis.
Sometime later there was an exhibition match in Brighton Pavilion between Rod Laver and Kenny Rosehall as a part of the Wimbledon week.
Half a dozen of us went including Paul and as Rod and Kenny passed our seats, Rod Laver spotted Paul, instant recognition and said
" hi! mate, how are yer, have you played much tennis recently ?"
Our shy reluctant junior was a state player for Queensland of Wimbledon standard and he wouldn't play in our thrash.
He became Consultant Surgeon in Adelaide St Vincent's Hospital i think.
Just for you royfromaus....lol
