Hello and welcome to Brokonomics now in this episode I'm absolutely delighted to be joined by Dr. Amid Malik

Oh thank you for coming in

Applet pleasure and well done you got my name right first time round

absolute pleasure. So you are an orthopedic surgeon of about 20 years.

Do you want to tell me about yourself?

Yeah, so I've actually been a doctor since 1998 so that's 25 years.

Wow okay. Yeah and when I'm not suspended from work yes I fix broken

ankles and feet so I say that with a smile on my face because I work out of three private hospitals but five weeks ago I got suspended from my main private hospital because of my social media content.

So you didn't fix, you didn't put somebody's foot on backwards or anything?

No.

No, it was because of your opinions about policy.

Yes, so it's not because I amitated the wrong foot or any patients involved or

there's any clinical incident or patient.

Because it's because of my views. So you might want to be careful

what you're asked me while we chat about the first half of the segment that's on

YouTube. Yeah we can dive into that a little bit later.

But yeah, that's what I am.

I've been a doctor for 25 years.

Oh my God, I can't believe I'm that old.

And I love my job.

I love fixing people.

I love fixing people. I love helping people and I used to love the NHS. But I don't anymore.
