Just a bit of stirring.... but do you reckon if big ole' Gordon Brown fell at number 10 and bashed his head, do you reckon he would be seen by a "physicians assistant" at A+E?

the answer: not on your nelly.... there would be consultants-a-rama. they SEEM like maybe a good idea kinda - but will they work in practise? i dont think so. i know i would not like working alongside someone who had half the training i had, doing the bread and butter of my job but with the handy "bail out" clause when it all gets a bit tricky - something which i will not have the luxury of.
