Abstract
This extract from a letter received recently by the editor of the BMJ and the articles in a similar vein (p 1696,1 p 1699,2 p 17003), raise some disturbing questions for us to ponder on over the Christmas season. The excuse that only bad news is newsworthy will not wash; such stories are becoming commonplace and encompass so much of current clinical practice that we seem to be becoming a profession of uncaring technocrats.Keywords
