      When you starve the NHS of sufficient funds to maintain an acceptable service for over a decade, things get desperate.

      The dedicated staff are trying to save lives.

      Don’t blame the staff for all the failures, look to who oversaw the decline of the NHS and did nothing, because that agreed with their political ideology.

      The Conservatives want the smallest governmental involvement in public services as possible, and they don’t care who dies in achieving that goal.

      And the bad thing is he will probably get the GMC closing ranks, half apologise and be allowed to work under measures – a nurse makes 1/3 of the mistake and everyone scapegoats them and life is over – pin and job is gone . Remember reading about the surgeon who was cutting his name into internal organs as a signature …..

      Was it a Swiss Army knife? I need to know if it was *intended* to be used for multiple purposes!

      Two things.

      >The patient survived

      This is most important. But it seems less and less so these days.

      >but internal documents show the surgeon’s colleagues felt his behaviour was “questionable” and were “very surprised” he was unable to find a scalpel.

      This only came out probably because the surgeon went mental on the staff for not maintaining the right stock of instruments.

      Smells like blame shift.

      Of course the surgeon could have let the patient die and then raised concerns. But how’s that moral. Judging by the faux-outrage now kicking off I’m sure the surgeon will second guess saving a life in the future now.

      I bet this surgeon is part of the old boys’ club and is buddies with the people on the hearing panel.

      God Complex.

      We see it time, and time, and time, and time again.

      Good doctor, it was an emergency and the hospital had no scalpels where they were supposed to be.

      Bad hospital

      I think this kind of hinges on whether or not there were suitable scalpels where they were meant to be, so that he could find one.  

      To paraphrase, the article says there must have been scalpels there and that his colleagues were surprised he couldn’t find one, but it doesn’t say “there were definitely scalpels right there, under his nose, where they were meant to be”.

      Many surgeons have an assured belief in themselves and their abilities. They also have a lack, or reduced level of empathy, Grandiosity, Arrogance, impulsivity (masked as quick decision making), preternatural calmness under pressure and a high level of narcissism.

      Psychopaths also display these traits
