It has never even occured to me that this is a thing people might do. I feel a failure as an adult

I just checked out style guide: 'physician in the UK usually means a non-surgical medical specialist (see AMA stylebook for the American point of view). Use “doctor” unless there is a reason not to (eg, it’s distinguishing a physician and a surgeon)'

Okay good, I just wondered becuase obviously in the UK the Royal College of Physicians covers a distinct group of doctors, where as I (wrongly I'm sure) imagine that in the US the word just means general 'doctor' (in the sense that I would use that word in the UK)

However, I've asked at the desk and apparently the appointment still exists in their system and I'm to wait. "It's not been cancelled at our end" (I mean the letter in my app cancelling it begs to differ). Now I wait to see I guess.

I'm not sure it's necessarily a lack of something to aim for, but more an issue of not being valued while they progress through their training. I think a lot of this boils down to respecting them and treating them as vaulable employees (as we would all like to be) who have lives outside of work

Do you mean because they are all (if working in similarly under resourced, poor culture enviroments) at risk of being similarly scapegoated (if that was what happened)? Or because, if she's not guilty, there are implications for them in terms of answering for (hypothetical) poor care?

Thank you! She's three so I think chillies appearing and growing would be quite exciting. Will also try tomatoes (later in the year.. right?!)

But unless that means individuals being held accountable (which may have already happened, I don't know the details) it's surely all meaningless? The trust as an entity takes the hit and nothing changes because no one has lost their job or gone to prison.

Obviously there needs to be an outcome for these awful failures but I wonder how helpful it is to fine a Trust that is clearly already struggling
