1 Sir, If Carol Midgley (Notebook, Nov 18) bemoans the inaccuracy with which journalists are portrayed in series and films, she should spare a thought for doctors faced with the multitude of television hospital dramas.
2 Of all the many infelicities, it is the __2__ of the surgeon that rankles with me. He (almost invariably it is a man) apparently has the power to drag a patient to theatre at a moment's notice without first seeking consent or alerting anyone else in the team. Once there, he commands the silent anaesthetist (almost always a woman) to give fluids, blood transfusions and drugs while announcing the vital signs every couple of minutes to all and sundry. Then he pops off and sacks a couple of nurses for good measure. It is difficult enough to impose any control over my more ebullient surgical colleagues without this sort of unnecessary boost to their already healthy egos.
