... that when advocating for the introduction of dental hygienists to New Zealand, Angela Pack(pictured) called the New Zealand Dental Council Board “lily-livered chickens”? Source: "...older practitioners did not want to delegate periodontal treatment to a hygienist... After huge initial enthusiasm from Board members, the chairman (an older practitioner) tactically deferred the vote on this critically important decision until the very end of a long and tiring meeting. Angela felt the momentum for hygienist training had evaporated. She therefore asked the male Board members “why they were behaving like a load of lily-livered chickens” when they had all been so enthusiastic the previous day"[2]
ALT1: ... that periodontist Angela Pack(pictured) called the New Zealand Dental Council Board “lily-livered chickens”? Source: as above
ALT2: ... that Angela Pack's(pictured) interview for a lectureship in New Zealand was conducted in a London pub? Source: "Angela applied for a Lectureship in Periodontology at the University of Otago in New Zealand, for which a notice had circulated at RDH. Allowable in those days, her interview was a lunch time chat in a smoke-filled pub with Professor Alister Smilie from Otago University, on sabbatical leave in London."[3]
Overall: Interesting read, thanks for writing! Article meets all the requirements per table above. I prefer ALT0/ALT2 to ALT1 (as I think the 'lily-livered chickens' comment benefits from context). Also have a possible ALT3 suggestion:
@Zzz plant: Thanks for the review. I think ALT3 makes it sound as if the board if the Otago Polytechnic board (when it was in fact the board for the national Dental Council). If you want mention in the hook of why she called them names, then perhaps I can propose
Alt4: ... that periodontist Angela Pack(pictured) called the Dental Council board "lily-livered chickens" for hesitating to allow training of dental hygienists in New Zealand?
Great catch with the implication of ALT3, I've struck that suggestion. I prefer ALT4 > ALT0, I like that even in ~100 characters the reader gets more of a sense for what's going on / and that the chicken remark refers to cowardice. Also nice that it avoids repetition of NZ! Approved with ALT4Zzz plant (talk) 21:34, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
