It was reported last week that hundreds of junior doctors in Scotland, who have spent up to £100,000 on their medical education and could have taken some of the hard-to-fill consultant posts, may be deported within months.

Rigor mortis

Life is just a long, drawn out process of having all your emotions, hopes, dreams and any goodness you might ever have possessed crushed and blended away with each passing day. It all comes unstuck in the end. More's the pity because I can faintly remember, once, long ago - clinging to hope. What a lie. What a sham. What a shame.
