Excellent Case Note series

A quickie,

Just listened to the final episode of Mark Porter's excellent Radio 4 program Case Notes.  So, the final topic- bowels! poo!

But seriously, the program looked at 'the latest in gastroenterology research' to make more palatable the subject matter- faecal transplants mainly. I like the matter-of-fact delivery, lack of obvious jokes and way that the subject is handled, talking to a wide range of experts from across the planet who are interested in this area. Some are looking into IBS/ treating infections such as C.Difficile and others looking to see if obesity could be treated this way.

I can't think of any other broadcast which handles the material so intelligently and is so informative.

There was a request at the end of this show, asking for ideas for the next series in 6 weeks time.

I'm going to make a list at work and let them know what I need next!
