Sense prevails – Bad Science
http://www.badscience.net/2007/10/sense-prevails
Dodgy academic press releases. Great popularisers of science. Heroes of bad science. News of the world. PhDs, doctors, and qualifications. Powerwatch – alasdair philips. October 31st, 2007 by Ben Goldacre in bad science. Select committee work is probably the only place where politicians do the kind of thing you’d like politicians to do, sitting down and sifting through the evidence on a policy. Bravo. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE. COMMITTEE OFFICE, HOUSE OF COMMONS. 7 Millbank, London SW1P 3JA. Done ...

Lake Cocytus: Stairway to Heaven
http://lakecocytus.blogspot.com/2011/12/stairway-to-heaven.html
Friday, 9 December 2011. I was due to see a patient who I've known for a long time, she was due in out-patient clinic but did not attend. My secretary checked on the patient administration system and found out she had unfortunately passed away. It was with sadness that I saw the message, in bold, that the patient was deceased. Next to this was also the comment, "Transport not required.". This comment has been removed by the author. March 12, 2012 7:26 am. Http:/ blogmedicine4you.blogspot.it. Takes us on ...

Lake Cocytus: March 2011

Saturday, 19 March 2011. The drugs weren't working any more. On mornings and after coming down off the drugs' peak effects, he was restless and irritable and more anxious. He'd started falling. Alcohol intake was modest (a couple glasses of wine a week) with normal liver function. Even if it's not my mess, not my work, not my problem, sometimes it's better for the GP to be the good guy and me to be the bad guy. Monday, 14 March 2011. The banker immediately takes 11 and whispers to the Daily Mail reader, ...

Lake Cocytus: November 2011
http://lakecocytus.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 3 November 2011. Walking across the hospital grounds I overheard a couple talking as they returned to the ward. He was saying to her how grateful he was that his Consultant Psychiatrist, ". . . had sectioned me that night, getting me into hospital," because he felt, "I right needed to, if I didn't I'd have been pissed and in [a nearby large city] and right violent.". That was my moment of pondering today . . . hearing a patient's comment, thinking of the positive, thinking of his po...Takes us ...

Lake Cocytus: Cured
http://lakecocytus.blogspot.com/2011/07/cured.html
Sunday, 31 July 2011. Picture an elderly gentleman, living on his own, in his own flat, for 10 years. He agrees to stay with family, crossing his doorway for the first time in so many years. In their home he's no better. Pictures talk to him. The pets are telepathic. The family are variously helping him, or poisoning him, so he lashes out with a walking stick. Milk and Two Sugars. Brilliant. Congratultions :). July 31, 2011 1:04 pm. Thank-you for sharing. :). August 01, 2011 1:09 am. Wow - well done!

Accolades & Quackolades. There are 20 published reviews of my book, but this one must be THE BEST! Best blog of the day IMHO.". This blogpost is simply brilliant.". You are a rude argumentative bully. You are a typical "skeptic" - not sceptical at all.". Your piece about House of Commons Science and Technology sub-Committee’s ‘evidence check’ on homeopathy was one of the best I’ve seen. Strength to your elbow.". Centella, one of Dr Andrew Jones personal herd of sycophants. A very good rebuttal". Skeptica...

Skeptobot: September 2010
http://www.skeptobot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Being an atheist has nothing to do with my protest of the pope today. Trying to write more - so here's a quick missive before I head out the door to todays protest. Whilst ill as a very ill thing. I find it fascinating that it appears assumed that most people protesting the pope will be atheists. Is it true? Either way that assumption allows Joseph Ratzinger to diminish all criticism as being the work of 'aggressive atheists' hating God. So, that being the case, a defence of our way of life is just.

Julian Assange and Wikileaks. We can reply "so you support wikileaks? But I reserve the right to change that opinion. In politics thats called flip-floppig and frowned upon. In science it's just being sensible. Nevertheless I've seen a few interesting links around (mostly via reddit) that I would like to share. 1) The Internet Archives copy of Julian Assange's old blog. Is only a few years old and makes interesting reading. My current favourite quote being:. Wed 03 Jan 2007 : Witnessing. If we can only l...
