In praise of the DNA

9 May 2013

‘I love my DNA’ says Dr Andy Field

I agree with Copperfield; I love my DNAs (‘The DNA: the last true perk of primary care’). Hapless 16–25-year-olds making morning appointments, ne’er-do-wells failing to appear on sunny afternoons, overweight dole bludgers when the weather’s bad… All part of the thankless task.

From Dr Andy Field, York
