Vote

During a casual chat, I suddenly realized many of our junior colleagues did not vote in our recent election of the medical council.

"Why! Rather hopeless for us to change anything," AC, my own registrar, said, "It's just a game for the insiders."

I was forced to agree. A sound economic principle actually lies here: If we consider our own personal benefit, we should never vote: There is no benefit because a single vote of us would not affect the result, but it does cost a trace amount of time.

Nonetheless I did vote. I took it as part of the duty of a doctor, and, if everyone believes we couldn't do anything, nothing would eventually be done.

Seriously, I have no favorite candidate.

I am just against one.
