| Affiliation: | Dr Fisher has worked as a medical statistician for more years than are good for him. He has tried to teach statistics to a wide variety of people, including students in professions allied to medicine, medical students, registrars and post-graduate statisticians, in different countries and with varying degrees of success. He has also worked with people from a wide variety of medical specialities, and feels he is the typical 'jack-of-all-trades'. However, he doubts that any other occupation could give as much varied experience and insight into medical practice. |

| Abstract: | Life as a jobbing statistician in a medical school bears a strong resemblance to life as a general practitioner: you have to be a jack-of-all-trades, you hold clinics where all the great unwashed can come, unfiltered and uneducated, and you get patronised by the consultants. |
