Sir Liam Donaldson: Going nowhere fast
The BMA has become unrecognisable of late. Since Nosher Meldrum has taken over from Wee Jimmy Johnson, gonads have been paraded with comparatively reckless abandon. The new chairman of the BMA's Junior Doctors Committee, Ram Moorthy, is also proving to made of considerable more prickly stuff than the lacklustre doormat that he replaced. Here's today's press release your your delight and edification:Junior doctors repeat call for Chief Medical Officer’s resignationDr Rant applauds the new BMA's tougher line, but would put it slightly differently himself............
The Chief Medical Officer for England, Sir Liam Donaldson, today (Thursday 15 November, 2007) said he would not resign over the failed Modernising Medical Careers training reforms.
Mr Ram Moorthy, chairman of the BMA Junior Doctors Committee, says:
“The CMO is supposed to be the link between the government and the medical profession. He can’t fulfil that role effectively any more because doctors have no confidence in him. He was one of the chief architects of these reforms and it’s time for him to take responsibility.
“The government is belatedly acknowledging that they rushed in a new system that messed up thousands of doctors’ lives. What happened this year must never be repeated, and that means that doctors have to be listened to.”
FUCK OFF LIAM AND FUCK OFF NOW!

thirded,
by the way Dr Rant,
where is Crippo?
(OT but) hospital phoenix' blog has gone.
Hmmm,
Dr C and HP gone? Conspiracy theorey anyone?
With respect (relative term here)to the BMA: too fucking little way, way too late. I urge you not to give these self serving toads money or credence. Give your money and support to Remedy.
The BMA back stabbed us JDs. When you question them all you get is an outraged email from them saying that they could not possibly represent every doctor's views. They pretty much failed to represent any of them. Then when you cancel your direct debit they ask why - what useless twats.

I did think phoenix might have been 'asked' to stop.

they usually do. I used to think of them as just boring old farts -- except for that funny campaign against Kenneth Clarke -- but there was once a sit-in by junior doctors at BMA House. (Hint, hint.)
I am not sure that there is any point sitting in at BMA house. I would rather give my money to Remedy who actually try to what they say.
