Surgeon tells off camera crew infront of PM Cameron

[Technologic]

Excellent!

A senior orthopaedic surgeon expressed his anger at what a camera crew were wearing in a ward at Guy's Hospital, London, during a visit by David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Andrew Lansley.

Unlike the politicians, the camera crew, who were acting for the BBC and other news organistations, did not have their sleeves rolled up during their visit. The prime minister was quick to agree with the surgeon and told the crew he thought they should "disappear".

The hospital visit came on the day that changes to plans for the NHS were announced

The senior orthopaedic surgeon is obviously a Labour supporter. Probably scared his job might be going down the pan.

Not at all, I don't think he was having a go at Cameron in particular and could have treated it the same way had it been any party leader visiting a hospital. I know I wouldn't treat Mr Cameron and his PR crew in a special way to anybody else, would that mean i'm a Labour supporter?

Of course I was joking, but I did find it quite odd to see such havoc in a hospital, especially when such a senior figure such as the PM is there. Any normal surgeon would quietly ask them to roll up their sleeves instead of getting worked up over nothing..

"I'm not having it, get out!" - Love it!

I suppose, he could just be one of those old-matron style hospital workers tough, not abashed at anything no matter the circumstances.

Judging by his tie i think you're spot on there

Good on him for not keeping quiet regardless of who was in the room.

To be quite honest it's probably gonna be quite crowded with a film crew and there needs to be space in case they need quick access to patients if there's any problem.
