SocietyGuardian.co.uk | Health | Soup row halts surgery: "Operations were cancelled yesterday at one of Britain's leading centres for neurosurgery after it suspended a consultant in a row about croutons and a bowl of hospital canteen soup.
Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham said the consultant was suspended on Wednesday 'following allegations surrounding his personal conduct'. It postponed surgery scheduled for three of his patients yesterday as a result.
The British Medical Association said it was representing Terence Hope, a senior lecturer and consultant at the hospital. A spokeswoman said: 'The dispute is about soup and croutons ... He wants to resolve the matter and get back to work as soon as he can. So he does not want to talk about this.'"

I'm sure he doesn't. I'm glad stories like this make it to the headlines. It's important that the canteen behaviour of our nation's medical staff be the subject of debate
