Surgeon tells off camera crew infront of PM Cameron

[GommeInc]

His behaviour was a bit unnecessary, he could politely told them to put their sleeves up. He acted like a strict headteacher telling off children, it was scary

[Pawf]

What a ****.

[cocaine]

we need people like that in hospitals these days haha have you seen the state of some of them?

Lol, yeah saw this on RTÉ last night (Irish news broadcast btw)

[kuzkasate]

Lol at this. What has the world come to - no need to do that tbh.

There was every need... just because they have a camera with them and are with the Prime Minister, doesn't mean their any different from us? :S If that happened here, where a lot of people walked in not following the 'rules' then the exact same thing would of happened, don't see why he should of acted any different just because the BBC were there along with David Cameron?

I'm fairly certain they didn't do it because they thought they had some sort of superiority over everyone else. They probably forgot, something as simple as that

[Mathew]

As Gomme said, they probably just forgot to roll their sleeves up or simply didn't feel like they needed to, it's not a question of superiority.. A quick word with each individual asking them to roll their sleeves up would suffice, no need to be a **** and seek all the attention you can get!

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?

In reply to both, the PM is obviously different to most - although you could argue he isn't - he is. The camera men aren't but anyway, that isn't what I am discussing.

The way that surgeon talked to the cameramen and whoever else was just plain rude. I would be very wound up if he talked to me like that, who the hell does he think he is?

fair enough, i'd find the whole thing rather invasive as i couldn't imagine the other patients got a say in it.

That wasn't his problem though..
