Babes in the wood

Abstract

Is it ten years since we sat up till the small hours talking about health care and the medical profession? You said in your letter "when shall we do it again?" I wonder; but as things are l've decided to write instead. By then our outlook had changed radically since we began medicine. Our devotion to good clinical practice had actually strengthened but we had discovered we owed more than that to our constituency, the community out there - "the faces outside pressed against the glass".
