The psychologist you know? They struggle with relationships too. The doctor you know? They eat junk sometimes too & drink too much. The leader you know? They doubt themselves too & have no idea what to do sometimes. Etc etc The point is nobody's really got it sorted & it's good to remember that.

Voting in the BMA ballot for SAS doctor industrial action, and voting "yes". In all of the previous rounds of IA, SAS doctors have covered for resident doctors, we have covered for consultants, and we have kept the service safe. Our "reward" for this is that we have been forgotten.
