When loyalties are divided between teachers and patients.
  1. M Morris
  1. Cassel Hospital, Richmond, Surrey.

The dilemma is explored from the perspective of patients' interests being the doctor's first concern; of the importance of respect for medical teachers, and of the implications of an apprenticeship model of postgraduate medical training.
