History taking is an essential clinical skill, and it is a SKILL. Patients narratives change according to time, place, person, and context as well as who is asking the questions and how. The notion that you can have a single authorised version that is immutably 'true' is absurd.

You don't even have working computers, get the basics right first.

Also how clinically divorced are you to suggest that repeated history taking is a negative.

It can be essential to ensure that nothing has been missed, each specialist team will ask similar questions but with different thought processes.

Having IT systems fit for the 21st century is essential. Why don't you do your job rather than commenting on whether something is unnecessary as it undermines patient confidence on what can be an essential part of history taking.

Every senior consultant was, at some point, a resident doctor. You cannot run a health service without resident doctors, who are the consultants of tomorrow. That this self-evident truth needs to be repeatedly stated speaks only to highlight the bizarre world we are living in.

Never a truer word

As a doctor, one of the most frustrating parts of my job is having to explain to people who should know better why good medical care can’t be safely substituted with inadequately qualified staff
