I understand where Dr. McKenna is coming from on that point because it is extremely stressful for consultants. It is an extremely maligned profession in many ways and deservedly in many instances over the years where we had consultants who felt like they were king of the castle and all the rest. However, the vast majority of consultants, and doctors generally, are extremely hardworking and committed. I could go on all day about that but I would be interested in anything the witness might have to say about that.
