I forgot to announce the winner of the last caption competition, so congratulations to Jan with a runaway score. I also said I’d announce a winner of the spoof nurse brands being suggested in this comments thread. So it’s well done to DeeDee Ramona for winning that one.

‘Lying down’ NHS staff reinstated Seven members of staff at Swindon’s Great Western Hospital suspended for playing an internet game that involved them lying down have returned to work.

The first part describes e-mail episodes that serve as the building blocks for the disorder diagnoses.

Time Lord Dr Who was yesterday being slammed for endangering patients lives, dumbing down the health service and threatening the very fabric of space time by claiming to be a “Doctor”. Back in the 80s, there used to be a tunnel leading from one bit of King’s Cross to another bit of King’s Cross. I used to go through this tunnel on my way from the tube to a fabulous pub called The Bell, that is sadly no more. The remarkable thing [...]
Wow, we’ve never really been much bothered by trolls before (the occasional un-Buddha-like Buddhist aside). Today was a very rare occurence on this blog.
