Demographic…
The demographic of your patients is an important factor, and the sooner you understand the basics of it the sooner you can understand how the general populous tick!
Every street, village, town, city, county and country have a different demographic. I think it is time I revealed a little about this one. Lets call it Sickton-on-the-Naze!

Busman’s Holiday?
You know it’s time to have a break from work when your 3 year old hurts her ankle and says she got a sore lateral malleolus…
So we decided to go away, I thought this week I’d stay away from any physiology and anatomy and tell you about my holiday instead…
We decided to go abroad, and [...]
OK it’s my own fault…
I should know better but last week I said it was “Quiet”.
I’ve worked in health care long enough to know that this means there will be an impending disaster. In the Emergency Department, staff would be disciplined for even using the Q word. The use of this word or similar normally meant that the “hot [...]
I am no poet…at least I know it!
I haven’t much to tell, which reminds me of the day
My mother said “if you have nothing clever to say.
Say Nothing”. She sometimes could be a bit that way!
So Max is still here, although perhaps just a little faint.
I still have tales to tell, and many of them quaint.
The weather here is terrible, the rain has been [...]
Just Kiddin’
I’ve been too busy to blog this week…apologies. But just to give you a little humour, I’ve got a case history for you…
An Irish woman presented to ask about reviving her husband’s libido.
Max: ‘What about trying Viagra?’
Patients wife: ‘Not a chance, he won’t even take an aspirin.’
Max: ‘Not a problem, give him an ‘Irish Viagra’. Drop [...]
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
This week more examples demonstrating that you’ll be lucky to get through life alive if you pay too much attention to the latest research…
The good news is…that power naps may boost your memory.
6 minutes sleep can apparently get those old memory cells boosted. Great I could do with a better memory. I’ll just read the newspaper [...]
A random week….
If I was Doctor Anonymous I would be posting you a video this week, as I really have had very lttle time to myself. (Incidentally how can an anonymous person post a film featuring his face?)
It really has been a tough week, for one reason or another I have scaresly had time to check my [...]
Christmas Cliff Hanger…
Ahhh, It’s time for a Cliff song
Don’t kiss the boss or photocopy your bum,
At the party that is due to come,
Dreams of bonuses, dreams of sleep,
Working for money the tax man will keep.
Christmas Time, Chocolate and wine,
Children coughing all the time.
With mucus in the waiting room and prescriptions for free,
A time for rejoicing in the patients [...]
