Opportunity

I see that the health secretary is considering asking retired doctors to volunteer to come out of retirement to look after patients with Covid 19. Hmmm.. Lets ignore for a moment that these people are the most likely to die if they become infected. Lets ignore that they are really going to be very unenthusiastic about returning to work at all.. What is interesting is that it is suggested that they will arrange "emergency registration" to allow them to practice. He seems to realise that if these people will have to appraise and revalidate prior to working they are likely to tell him to fuck off.
So, if it's OK for these doctors to work without revalidating, why do the rest of us still have to do it?

DZ still has a licence to practice, so might actually consider it. Not out of any sense of altruism or dedication. He just wonders how much they're prepared to pay. Not nearly enough I suspect.
