Medical practice has gradually lost its sacrosanct sovereign role in favour of the bureaucratic control of the clinically unqualified. Medical bureaucracy is no longer content with housekeeping. Its decisions now impact the clinical arena. As a result, many doctors and nurses have become dispirited, demeaned and discontented. In considerable numbers, they are leaving the UK medical profession or emigrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFundamental change is required if we are to cure our sick sacred cow.
