The gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.
The ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted; the pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body !" while the paediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up !'

The podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.
The anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas; and the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the proctologists left the decision up to the assholes in Downing Street.
