I liked this quote ....

“I was appointed as a consultant anaesthetist in 1969. In that 30 years nobody has given me an opportunity to
demonstrate that I am fit to practise and up-to-date. I
would welcome the opportunity to try and show that to
the parents of the children I anaesthetise and the children themselves in some cases... I hope that people will look up the [Medical] Register, and the fact that I am on it will indicate that I am safe to anaesthetise their children. I can imagine that the parents of the Bristol children would say ‘Amen’ to that.”

Professor David Hatch, speaking to an internal conference of the General
Medical Council in 1999
