The CEOs of the private companies will have to award themselves a few times PM's salary for their hard work. Many charities pump less than 5% of what people give to real needs.<br /><br />You have pointed out in your 2 pieces on Private Practice the problems around a number of Hospital Conultants.

The point I am trying to make is that if we just throw up our hands in despair and refuse to even try and steer the process somewhat, on the basis that it is all going to be a crock of shit, then it will be.Doctor Zorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066781456935894741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661337961858411173.post-84481720864036035112010-07-19T10:54:35.510+01:002010-07-19T10:54:35.510+01:00I'm not sure I agree.
