When Prof Ayee outlined his famous systems model, I doubt that he anticipated my kind of health demon. Maybe he did. But my kind cannot be wished away. It is neither about chronic industrial unrests nor the unchanging disease burden that I speak. It is something far more delicate- a tricky demon. It is the demon of blame, accusations and counter accusations that characterizes the relationships among and between different categories of health professionals. It is the subtle and sometimes not so subtle destructive and suspicious ways health professionals view each other, the comparative importance some attach to their work and the extent to which some look down on the contributions of others.
