piece has, to date, elicited over 50 emails from the UK, Australia, and Canada. Approximately half are from current and past professors of nursing, while professors of sociology and psychiatry and various junior faculty have also weighed in. Intriguingly, we have also received commentary from faculty in the departments of our critics. Our correspondents were, without exception, encouragingly supportive of our stance, with many confirming the authenticity of our account and relating the range of damaging and negative experiences they too had suffered or witnessed at the hands of some of the 'killer elite' we alluded to. We are currently considering a follow-up editorial highlighting some of these creatively malevolent and decidedly un-scholarly professional practices that our correspondents shared. Should any readers wish to email us with their examples or experiences, we would value their contribution and of course respect their confidentiality.1216
