    Patricia Hewitt, the Health Secretary, said "There are thousands of people who are alive and well today as a direct result of this new contract."
    I'm sure that is true.

        I think being a doctor of medicine might stretch some of the regulars here.

        Plumbing or road sweeping is a more comparable occupation to IT.

          Let me tell you the story of a "Doctor" in a town oop north, who diagnosed a child with chicken pox three times. A question was asked of his qualifications and him and his whole family just disappeared into the night...

              It is. Doctors are now making so much money that there is a queue outside each surgery of fertile young chav woman who ask to be shagged so as to get maintenance payments for her and the sprog(s).

                I thought IT technies had to diagnose sysytem malfunctions and perform their own particular brand of surgery by re-writing new code to bring an IT system back to full health.

                As nurse, I could lend a hand polishing the screen and dusting the keyboard once the job's done.

                    "their own particular brand of surgery" = metaphor.

                    "As nurse" - what's the connection with the comparison between a IT techie and a qualified doctor?

                    Looks like just imagining it is a bit of a stretch for some.

                    Do you ever wonder why you bother coming back here?
