Intelectual Debates do not improve the job needed on the
floor Sir, It is highly intellectual and wonderfully entertaining to quote Descartes and many other people in relation to humanity in the NHS. The point is what does this do to improve the job required on the floor ? Doctors will sit and debate in the mess about how terrible their conditions are, how terrible their pay is and how bad the NHS is . How many of them actually do anything about changing policy? The conditions are worsening and yet on the superficial surface and for the world's view we all potray the image that " all is well with the NHS " and when I criticise and say the truth that everyone whispers about , we can all go into judgemental mode and say " NO THAT DOES NOT POSSIBLY HAPPEN IN THE NHS " . If doctors stood for what they believed in and fought for their rights and patients rights instead of debating intellectual technicalities then we may be able to change policy . This is not BRITISH therefore I strongly suspect all junior doctors and consultants will write little articles to be congratulated by their peers and they will disappear into the archives of the BMJ . What we need is a change and as Gandhi once said , a change is only achieved if one is willing to fight for it . None of you are . Quoting Descartes does not change the lives of the patients who are now dead due to the underfunding of the system. The reason for this is because we choose to be silent because that is professional and etiquet. Silence will result in the system remaining static and we will have these debates like a broken record player wondering who can come up with the next intellectual quote of the day . That will not change the NHS of today . Dr Rita Pal
