It‟s a privilege to be a doctor…‟„How lucky you are to be a doctor…
‟It‟s a privilege to be a doctor,is it?Anyone who‟s a doctor is right out of luck,I thought.
Anyone who‟s studying medicine should have his head examined.
ou may think I want to change my job.Well,at the moment I do.As one of my friends says – even doctors have a few friends – it‟s all experience.Experience!I don‟t need such experience.I need a warm,comfortable,
undisturbed bed all my own.I need it badly.I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well,that‟s what I need.
ll these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini through the foggy
streets of East London at 3.45 a.m.on a December morning.I am a ministering
angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines.As I speed down Lea
Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour
,the swish of the mud against
the windows,the heater first blowing hot then cold,my back aching from the
car-seat made for misshapen camel,the fog swirling about the empty petrol
stations,I do not feel like a ministering angel.I wish I were on the beach in
southern France.Call me a bad doctor if you like.Call me what you will.But
don‟t call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you
have had for two weeks.
Of course,being a doctor isn‟t really all bad.We do have our moments.
Occasionally people are ill,occasionally you can help,occasionally you get given
a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o‟clock in the morning –then you worry
if you have done everything.But all too often „everything‟ is a repetitious routine:
look,listen,feel,tap,Tablets,injection,phone,ambulance,away to the next.
