We have a culture of 'change management' in the health service in the UK-everything always changes even if it works really well.The we hear on TV we need to be modernised-so i guess we change some more.

After 14 years, I walked in, gave my badge up, and left never to return. Everyone said "you'll be back, or your a fool". I cashed my 401k in, took control of my own investments, and have never been happier. That was three years ago, now those same people are either out of a job, or close to it, and say "I'm lucky". Yeah right, tell my wife, who freted for months, it was just "luck".
