H1N1…to jab or not to jab…that is the question?

Posted on November 16, 2009. Filed under: Apply topically |

It’s crunch time…the H1N1 jabs are here.

We were one of the last places to receive the first batch. Patients and staff are approaching me, asking whether they should have one or not.   My instinct is to shirk the issue and hide under my couch, but alas I can not do that.
Everyone asks me all the questions, [...]

Heroin for free decreases crime!

Posted on September 24, 2009. Filed under: Apply topically |

So over my few weeks off I hear a story on the news, that makes me stop and scratch my head a little…
(and no I didn’t get splinters).
Now perhaps I’m missing the point, perhaps I’m being controversial and am going to get slated for the following post, but it seems to me I am not [...]

He’s with us, not US!!!

Posted on August 19, 2009. Filed under: Apply topically |

Now before I crack into this little post, I would clearly like to clarify something… I am actually quite keen on Americans. I mean I’d have to say that because a fair chunk of my readers are from “across the pond” and some of my favourite bloggers are Americans, but despite the stereotype I like them! 

Anyhow…the [...]

Not scared enough??

Posted on August 6, 2009. Filed under: Apply topically, Benign |

Bored with swine flu?  Increased war zone fatalities not decreasing population adequately?  Need something new to worry about?  Why worry about new killer bugs when you can worry about good old fashioned BLACK DEATH!?!!
AH YES…The scare mongery media have got bored….(although I think if the government were in trouble about something, this would have more [...]

Catchy uppy!

Whoa….someone stop the ride….
I’ve been hellishly busy of recent, and I am just typing up a quickie!  So where have I been…here and there is the answer, meeting, greeting and patient bleatings, but for the most part I’ve been bringing in the cash for the surgery by meeting government targets.  I was given two weeks to do [...]

Pigs might flu?!?

Posted on April 30, 2009. Filed under: Apply topically |

Well I don’t think on this occasion I need to post a news link to the story I’m discussing… Swine flu!  (unless you have been cave dwelling of course).

Swine fever has hit!  Yes, I said Swine fever and not swine flu. It’s not the illness that amuses me, it’s the media hype [...]

Tree! Mend us!

A fantastic story in this weeks news about a 28 year old Russian man called Artyom Sidorkin.  Who presented to Doctors with chest pains, he was sent for X-ray.   The X-ray showed a large shadow and Doctors told Mr Sidorkin that they feared he had lung cancer.
Presumably with a previously healthy young man with a [...]

Just keep on running???

Posted on March 12, 2009. Filed under: Apply topically |

That’s it I quit….I started running at the end of last year, and have been doing so every week since. (I come home at the end of each run, otherwise I’d be nearing Scotland!!)

 
Why do I run? (apart from to get away from my lovely wife??)  Exercise… I thought it was [...]

My 4 year old has dementia.

Posted on December 31, 2008. Filed under: Apply topically, Journal from behind the desk... |

Dementia is again a hot topic at present and about to become hotter with the imminent release of the National Dementia Strategy .
One of the aims is to increase public awareness of dementia, so they realise that nanny isn’t just getting old, but actually has a condition for which some help and assistance can be [...]

Stay black!

Following on from my rather random post about traffic signs last week, this week I’m going to be ranting about traffic lights, this is slightly more related to my work than last week – I promise!
I feel a little bit rotten picking on this subject having been on both sides of it now, but it [...]
