Alex Matterson always said the caring biz is about politics and saving cash. So, when the suits decided to pay peanuts, it wasn't that much of a surprise for the long-suffering clinical staff to discover they weren't monkeys after all ... But Adam Fordyce has a sleepy niche in a different zoo; although he'd be a happier bunny if people would stop saying "Oh, Matron " whenever they saw him.
