ABSTRACT

What is ‘blowing the whistle’? Here is a practical but rather extreme example (but what a gripping soap opera episode it would make!).

Hilary is employed as a Theatre Nurse in a children’s hospital and finds out that one of the surgeons, Chris, is usually drunk when she operates. Furthermore, it is pointless for Hilary to tell the hospital administration because the surgeon is married to Len, the Personnel Officer, and having an affair with Bobbie, the Chief Executive.
