Preparing for a DH visit

Healthcare = customer care
12-Dec-2008
It is Saturday morning, I am on call and working at my desk on lingering clinical work after the ward round, awaiting blood results, blood pressure data, etc. -
NHS subcultures
2-Dec-2008

The great north euthanasia experiment

I cannot lay claim to the title of this blog - I first heard it on one of those Radio 4 comedy shows some months ago - so please take this as acknowledgement to the BBC and an admission of advanced middle age. -
Pay no attention to the NHS leader in the dark glasses
14-Oct-2008
My secretary has just survived a major anniversary - five years of working with me. Trust and respect are the bedrock of any relationship, so I trust her judgement when she says my cartoon picture for the blog is rather too reminiscent of that former dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. -
