In our family the BMJ is read on the loo. Today I read this
disgraceful article; condemning an entire profession to mediocrity and
second best. I can't compose like Mozart or paint like Picasso, the
complexity of modern medicine is sufficiently taxing and challenging for
me. My patients do not expect me to write a novel in my spare time-I think
they would rather I kept up to date and knew what I was talking about.
The BMJ will continue to enjoy its position in my life-in the toilet.
