‘Stamford, my current problem is whether it is possible to find employment at any London hospital.’
‘It’s difficult for everyone, but you never bothered to make the right connections whilst you were in university.’
‘You mean bootlicking for Colin Langstaff and his ilk!’
‘You already had the military. Refusing to kowtow looked like arrogance. Rutherford is now highly placed at Charing Cross and Langstaff is head of surgery at St Thomas’s. Between those two, they can have you blackballed everywhere.’
‘Not the Royal London Hospital; I work there on Thursdays.’
‘As a surgeon?’
‘Of course.’
‘For pay?’
‘Erm, no…’
