Once upon a time, ladies and gents of a nervous disposition could attend a GP and be ushered out the door with a bag full “anxiety pills” aka valium, one of the benzodiazepines. They certainly take the edge off, but they are a smidge habit-forming, and you can’t take them forever (ideally). So the NHS has a plan, and it is fool-proof. They have started giving out…

I have noticed an alarming trend in patients. They have some bloods done at the GP and they have impaired kidney function. Urea is high, eFGR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is low, and yet the GP’s seem remarkably unbothered and do…….nothing. This is in not just aged people, but also young ones too. At first I couldn’t work out why? But consider what would they…
Trigger warning: This newsletter contains sarcasm and irony. I do not condone hatred of furry animals (or vegans). Did you know I can see into the future? It is a blessing and a curse, I can see the future potential good and the potential bad with ease. It might be something to do with my dopamine genetic tendencies from my polymorphisms on the dopamine receptor…
Have you ever noticed that your patients with inflammatory conditions (AS, RA, PMR etc) are unusually stiff? Chances are you have and if you are like me, you would have thought it was the joints. And depending on how far down the line they are, that might be true. However, ask a patient with AS how they feel at lunchtime compared first thing in the…
Last week I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Cardiff, first with the lovely Michelle Thomas at her wellness hub, where we had 20 DC’s hungry for nutritional knowledge and we spent 4 hours together learning how to get better outcomes from care. The day after I spent another 4 hours with final year students at WIOC. I must give big kudos…

Back in the 1960’s the BBC started a documentary called “seven up”. The basic premise is “show my the child at 7 years old and I will show you the man/woman”. They met a selection from kids at seven years old in care homes to the uber posh and went back every seven years to see what they were up to. They are now 63…

Once upon a time, a patient of mine had a sodding enormous dog called Loki. An English mastiff, they can weigh as much as 25 stones or 155 kg, like this chunky monkey, Zorba. Imagine him as a lap dog…… Literally the size of a small horse. Anyhoo, as much as he loved Loki, he didn’t love the vet bills. Flea injections, anti-biotics etc etc…
