I read retired surgeon Malcolm Morrison’s letter (Adver, January 12, Surgery Is Needed) with interest and I am sure all the points he raised were salient and real.
But, why, I ask, did he wait until retirement to expose a situation that had obviously been present while he was at work?
Was it that he was afraid of being vilified for being a whistleblower and suffering the same fate of others brave enough to come forward while still working in the NHS?
I thank him for his candid views but it’s a bit late when you are out of the system and do not have the engagement to change it.
