Going ape

SHOs in the mist?

The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below.

This filler piece about a senior house officer (SHO) treating a depressed gorilla seems to raise more questions than it answers.1 Do SHOs in psychiatry have the time to spend two hours assessing a troubled gorilla? Presumably this costs more than peanuts. Was the NHS trust reimbursed for this consultation? Do SHOs have their own secretaries now?

A polite but great ape looks forward to the author's response.
