As a registrar, you often rotate around several closely related areas, in order to get a general feel for a subject. Most consultant, surgical or medical, whether they are specialised or not, will still admit general patients under their care when they are on call, and these patients could have pretty much anything wrong with them, so it's good for registrars to know a bit about other things.

Take a look at this:

Cardiology consultant

This guy is obviously bright. He trained in the UK, so why is he working in Canada? We are losing a lot of our best talent to Canada, because of the shit system that has been created in this country. I am always happy to point out excellence. I am a strong believer that every doctor who wants to achieve something needs to get a mentor.

Perhaps take a look at some of the UK cardiologists CVs - ones who were appointed around the same time and then make a comparison.

I agree with the mentor comment. But I would not limit it to one.

I agree nothing wrong with several mentors!

I know several very eminent professors in London who are preparing to go abroad. We just do not appreciate talent here like America and the rest of the world.
