A Doctor? with a job to do? surely dedication is the first thing they should be taught? O.K. their shift has finished, but what is in front of them is different to a slab of meat, it is a living, breathing, human being, worthy of a little more thought than, time to clock off, sod this for a game of marbles?

And believe it or not some doctors do have comapssion for their patients and see them as people rather than just a condition to treat.
