  • Why Patients Have Short Memories (and what to do about it)

    Those of you who have been through the ACN seminars might remember: It was always partly tongue in cheek. But it turns out there may be some rather interesting psychology behind it.

  • Birthdays and Sacrifices

    First up, happy birthday to me, I turned forty-nine on Monday, but for the last 16 years, I have not been able to milk it as Iris selfishly claimed the spotlight by being born four days after me.  Hard not to be outshone by your fabulous children, isn’t it? Happy 16th birthday to someone far smarter, better looking and more mature than me.  As your…

  • FND case study – Clinical gems GUARANTEED

    Whilst I love getting deep into research (this is what’s at my side as I write this article), there is nothing quite like a challenging case to get the dopamine flowing. That is, of course, if you are taking the time to reassess your patient objectively and subjectively on a regular basis.  Don’t be afraid to ask your patient how they’re feeling, it’s just feedback,…

  • Britain’s Sickest Generation: How Did We Get Here?

  • Are You Slowly Being Poisoned?

    Firstly, I had a great day with the first cohort of SCC last Friday, a small but perfectly formed group, IMHO.

  • PSA Screening: Saving Lives, or Creating Patients?

    Jeremy Clarkson’s recent diagnosis has put prostate cancer back in the media, especially screening.  An aggressive tumour had been caught early the previous year, and a follow-up PSA test had come back clear. He used the moment to press a message on other men.  Get tested, he said, and if a GP turns you away because you have no symptoms, invent some. “Just lie,” he advised, tell…
