Dr Foster went to Gloucester in a shower of rain He stepped in a puddle
right up to his middle and never went there again. This also resulted in
major public debate.
The Press said it was outrageous that - given the fact that doctors were
paid around half a million pounds for a 30 hour week - Dr. Foster should be
put off by a mere soaking.
The politicians wanted to know why any doctors were going to Gloucester in
the first place as it was an over-doctored middle class area unlikely to
vote Labour at the next election.
The RCN said doctors weren't needed as nurses could do their job just as
well, they were holistically trained and would have no problem with puddles
as they could also walk on water.
The local nurse practitioners agreed that they would of course go to
Gloucester after doing the appropriate course.
The Social workers said that no one had considered how the puddle might feel
about being trodden into.
The managers decided to do a piece of work around rain and puddles.
The next time there was a problem in Gloucester it coincided with a large
multidisciplinary stake holder conference and no one was available so NHS
Direct advised calling the GP.
