Good And Bad Doctors

I’m listening to a program on BBC Radio 5 called How Do You Cope?, which is discussing doctors. And what makes a good one!

I am reminded of the story of the birth of our first son.

He was born in a London teaching hospital and delivered by a student doctor, who obviously didn’t do a bad job and made no mistakes.

The next time I saw  C, she told me, that she’d had a visit from the Professor, who asked after her and her experience.

He told her, that the doctor was a problem for the Medical School, in that they felt he had shown the ability to make a very good surgeon, as he had the right attitude and physical skills.  But he was having difficulty in passing exams.

I sometimes wonder, if that would-be doctor became a brilliant surgeon or left the medical profession early.
