More Inside health

Another excellent episode !

Mark Porter did well not to be rude to the health minister, discussing NHS reforms and also a good slot on tinnitus and vitamin d.

Another attempt!

Okay! Happy 2012! Time to do what I said I'd do in my appraisal....

This week I have listened to Mark Porter's new radio 4 program Inside health and can recommend it thoroughly.

And I've just read this....

I think my take home message from this is as usual back to basics- good clinical examination to detect pneumonia as opposed to URTI. I seem to have spent alot of time not giving abs to coughs the past few weeks, so I'm going to take on board this paper.

Byee!!
