As a 48 year old GP/medical director, fighting the complexities of current NHS politics and change, dare I implore you not to give up?? And even, may I ask you to encourage your wee students to carry on.......though the road you and they walk looks in many ways different from the road I travelled, there have and always will be challenges and obstacles in healthcare. But they're worth it, because along that road there will always be patients, and if you can understand and practise the most essential facial function known as the SMILE youe patients will allow you the privilege of applying your hard earned knowledge to caring for them. Simple advice - but honestly, your smile will have greater impact even than your stethoscope. Besides, it makes you fell better, too, releasing endorphins right on cue..... Dear Mark
