272Cecil is fine. Voice your concerns, please.%u201d%u201cThank you. I%u2019m still worried about the morality and legality of what you did, and what pressurised me to do. How can you justify it?%u201d Henry asked.%u201cJustify it? No. I can%u2019t. It is, in all people%u2019s eyes, wrong. But it%u2019s no different than what the people who govern us or parade in public as lawabiding, upright figures, are doing until they%u2019re found out. Look at Prince Andrew or Al-Fayed for recent examples. Or think of all the richest men and women, mostly corrupt bar one or two. The world runs on the idea of whatever you can take and hang onto is yours. It does not run on some kind of trusted behaviour, despite that nonsense being spread far and wide like a religion or disease to prevent the masses seeing the truth.%u201dHenry thought about it. %u201cYes. I can see your point, but that%u2019s where it%u2019s all gone wrong. I%u2019m sure things were not so bad as this in the past. It%u2019s a recent thing in terms of history.%u201d%u201cWhat, like President Clinton with his cigar play in the Whitehouse, or Harold Wilson and John Major, both married men fucking women at work in Number Ten? I earn just over %u00a3105,000 a year. Water board directors get five times that and a million as an annual bonus. And this is when the water companies are in massive debt and dumping shit into the rivers and oceans. That%u2019s immoral. We have the lives of people under our hands every day. We do our jobs well, and no one dies, and ninety eight percent of them get fixed. Fucking a few good looking ones now and again is our bonus and compensation. And it does no harm to anyone.%u201dHenry could not defeat his argument. He knew, no... everyone knew what%u2019s right and wrong, though. He said it out loud.%u201cYes. Correct. That%u2019s why we ensure patients in our trust come to no harm.%u201d Cecil told him and then said, %u201cI%u2019m assuming you wish to remain in our little club?%u201dFor career reasons, he did. Yet, he was still unhappy about the wrong of it.%u201cEveryone went through the dilemma you%u2019re going through right The Surgeon
