Marriages between clinical colleagues are not a new phenomenon. The stereotypical male doctor of the past pretty much expected to marry a nurse, who would invariably sacrifice her career the moment children appeared. This left the striving young doctor free to climb the greasy pole of the medical hierarchy unencumbered by parental responsibilities. With her understanding of the medical milieu, the ex-nurse could lend a comforting ear to the doctors moans and groans, without competing professionally. If this all sounds cosy and comfortable please return to the nineteenth century. Medical marriages now take many forms. More than 50% of British medical graduates are female1 and many are married to another doctor. Myriad pairings between doctors and other paramedical professions are possible; marriage should no longer be assumed, and gay couples should not be forgotten. What can no longer be assumed is that doctors' careers should take precedence over those of their partners. Increasingly, those who live together have to consider whether to work together. This decision is important for the spouses concerned and those employing them. So many of us will face this decision that it is likely to have a profound influence on medical staffing in the future. If more of us who are qualified to work together could be encouraged to do so, and thus share domestic duties also, we would be a much healthier profession. ### Points to cover when applying for a job with your spouse

In a joint effort between Solar Turbines Incorporated, Haynes International, and Doncasters Blaenavon, concurrent component design and manufacturing process development were undertaken to produce a Haynes 242 turbine nozzle case for Solar Turbines’ Mercury 50 engine. The Mercury 50 is a high efficiency, 4.2 MW generator set, developed through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy within the Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) Program. Significant effort was applied to development of a reduced lead time, reliable, low cost process for producing a component with properties meeting design requirements. The resulting process involves the forging of (508-mm) 20-inch diameter ingots to (308-mm) 12-inch diameter billets, and ring rolling each billet to the final pre-machined shape. Further refinement in both billet manufacture and ring rolling are being conducted. The resulting component benefits from the desirable elevated temperature properties and uncoated oxidation resistance of Haynes 242, a next-generation, low thermal expansion alloy. In this paper, critical aspects of the turbine nozzle case design, and alloy process development will be presented. Microstructural evaluation of various billet forging processing routes will be related to mechanical properties, which in turn will be evaluated relative to design requirements.

drachms of greenish pus. The interior of the cavity consisted entirely of white brain-substance, and was of a firmer consistence than the rest of the brain. There were also in the cavity two small blood-clots, partially organised. The right lobe of the cerebellum was, compara- tively speaking, a mere shell; and the left lobe, as well as the pons Varolii, was to a small extent also implicated. The membranes were perfectly healthy, and there was no apparent communication between the abscess and the suppurating ear.
