I may be have been naïve, but to begin with I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. But every time I go through these three stages now: 1. I...
If she qualified in 1991 should would be expected to be 58 but if for some reason she completed her medical training late, maybe having started...
It is the obvious thing to do unless you want to run private practice. To continue having the right to practice you need to ay GMC fees which may...
The trouble with that report is that it is only two families and the knock out mice had defects in multiple organ systems - i.e. not hEDS. But a...
It may be difficult because, as Trish says, there is so much muddled thinking everywhere. But the first thing I would say is that 'the literature'...
Yeah but nobody knows what. And if you seek hard enough you will find all sorts of made up stuff. At some point everyone involved has to stop and...
Thanks, yes it is softened in a few ways, but I still think problematic.
It looks to me as if someone has twigged to the potentially very serious issue of Dr Kane being seen to be treating children without paediatric...
EDS is a group of monogenic genetic diseases, most of which we know the gene for and are easily tested for. There are 13 main types. Type 3 was...

I think there may be quite significant repercussions for Dr Kane over this. Giving untested anticoagulant therapy to children outside formal...
Seems a bit of a rag-bag of 'noble thoughts' to me, mixed with a good dose of the usual guff about multidisciplinary teams. The heart is in...
I think, @PeterW , if you got people to work in an experimental pathology lab for a week you would find that a lot more than just vegans would be...
I don't really see the connection. Like CD20, CD38 is just a useful ligand for identifying cells for antibody-mediated killing. If you kill lots...
Not from my experience. There are about 100 different ways of 'reproducing' rheumatoid arthritis in rodents. But they told us nothing. The fact...
Not really. Changes in numbers of cells in the blood and such things are of no significance in the short term. It is a bit like saying that the...
I don't think you can take energy away from the immune system in any meaningful sense. If anything repair signals would activate cells. There...
