Madam, - This week's Health Supplement publishes an employment advertisement from Trinity College for a "Lecturer in Conscious Sedation". It is not clear whether this job description refers to the preferred state of mind of the academics who are sought, or to the effect applicants are intended to have on their students.
In either case, no doubt there will be a wide range of qualified candidates from within the third level system. - Yours, etc,
DAVID LOWE, Abingdon Park, Shankill, Dublin 18.
