 Dr Roger Boyle -- Burke 328 (7432): 126 Data Supplement - Longer version -- BMJ

Roger Boyle fits this bill and understands many if not all of the tensions that there are.
Roger is a cardiologist at a district general hospital, and, although well versed in theory about tertiary centres, he does not work in one— although I know he would insist that makes no difference.
