Haven't heard of this condition before but the nurse who Steve had talked to decided to discuss it in the Bistro confidentiality gone out the window!!

I thought that. She's so unprofessional isn't she? Hope that wouldn't happen in real life.

Indeed it would happen in real life, silliemillie. I was in a pub in my local town a few years ago where the seats were divided into booths with partitions between them. Two senior social workers that I knew (an area social worker and his manager) were in one of the booths discussing cases. Many of their comments about individual clients were scathing and unpleasant.
I knew a couple of the clients they were discussing. I reported it by phone but heard nothing back. I assume nothing was ever done about it.

Don't watch Holby or Casualty that much but I would hate to go into one of their wards. We are always seeing consultants drinking in their offices, one doctor experimenting on themselves with drugs, doctors with drug problems, staff with problems with other staff members , as well as lots of new high tech treatments with equipment that is on test

My friend was telling me - her cousin who is a male doctor - he adopted a little Chinese boy - his mother (doctor's mother) was in a cafe and heard a conversation re her son had had an affair resulting in the little Chinese boy. True.
