  • Waky up time: pathology isn’t black and white 20 July, 2010
    ..and if I remember much from histology, it often comes in shades of pink. The NYT today has an interesting article; shock horror  - cancer that might not be. It focuses on the DCIS phenonema – if you have been reading for a while you’ll know that ductal carcinoma in situ is a ‘cancer’ that wasn’t known [...]

  • Dicing with death 24 July, 2010
    Once or twice the Jobbing Doctor has commented on how odd it is that he has seen three cases of a condition that he hasn't seen for ages all in one week. The same thing happens in hospitals. Very rare things come in runs. You would think that it couldn't happen by chance but it does. If you listen to radioactive decay using a Geiger counter the bli […]

Those who are found to have mental capacity are read their rights, including the right to refuse treatment; and, if they are so minded, offered a DIY death w […]

  • Pepsigeddon: why bloggers shouldn’t be paid 9 July, 2010
    Jump to follow-up I’m baffled. Why is it that beautiful, high quality blogs like Orac’s Respectful Insolence, wanted to be on a commercially-run site in the first place? Scienceblogs is such a site and it recently caused a crisis when it accepted a paid PR piece by Pepsico (without warning its bloggers first). This was not [...]

  • Boris Johnson and his innovative trial methodology
    Ben Goldacre, The Guardian, Saturday 31 July 2010 It’s the near misses that really make you want to shoot your own face off. This week the Centre for Policy Studies has published a pamphlet on education which has been covered by the Mirror, the Mail, the BBC, the Telegraph, the Express, the Guardian, and more. [...]
