My sincere apologies for the break in transmissions.
It really came about due to errors of a technical and a personal nature. Let me explain.
My aged PC was wheezing its last and I know that I should really have created a back up for my files, logins and passwords……… but I hadn’t. Guess what, it happened.
BANG!
My electronic life in tatters. It has taken me an awful lot of charging around to get back on air – at last!
In my time away we have seen several interesting developments in my bipolar world of healthcare & football.
In the case of the latter we witnessed the scenes of several football games interrupting some highly entertaining vuvuzela concerts in South Africa. The whole event came to life when France went on strike, England forgot to play, and the youth of Germany exploded at the hands of the Spanish.
The final was all about the plucky English ref, and the nasty foreign cheats….. or so the Daily mail would have it. In fact, I enjoyed the whole thing – apart from the lack of English spine.
Oh, and the final cheeky monkey moment of the Spanish players putting a Barcelona shirt on Fabregas…. I don’t think so amigo’s!
On the health front we have seen a new government take power, and of course the NHS comes in for scrutiny. And what has the BMA done to help……. yes that’s it, promise to cut homeopathy, thereby saving £4m per year. Surely they missed the £1.2b that they spent on worthless flu drugs last year.
I think they would have been better controlling that rather than a few bottles of water.
I’m not condoning homeopathy, mostly as I know very little about it, but I do object to the good men and women of the BMA who deem that everything out of their direct control is wrong and dangerous. There are many good, safe and effective treatments available from regulated professionals such as acupuncturists, chiropractors and osteopaths. We are not snake oil salesmen.
Let the public have a choice. If it works for them, so be it.
Be healthy.
