“Eat More Fruit & Veg 10”
This is a continuation of the fruit and veg theme (click on the “EMFV” in the TAG CLOUD for the other posts). Three heaped tablespoons of peas counts as one healthy portion, and they can accompany just about any cooked … Continue reading
“The £10 GP Toe”
In recent weeks lots of stories have been appearing in the press and on TV about the pressures put on the NHS, particularly by the increasing numbers and increasingly frail elderly population. This of course has nothing to do with … Continue reading
“GP’s Cry for Help”
The Chair of the British Medical Association GP Committee recently gave a warning that the family doctor system is “imploding” under the weight of more patients who are increasingly frail. Dr Nagpaul claimed they were doing 40 million more appointments … Continue reading
“Eat More Fruit & Veg 9”
This is a continuation of the fruit and veg theme (click on the “EMFV” in the TAG CLOUD for the other posts). Potato crisps are definitely not on the healthy eating list. All that fat and salt plus the starch … Continue reading

“The Bottom of the Slippery Slope”
This is a speech no-one made in the debate on assisted dying on Friday 18th July 2014 in the House of Lords. (See earlier posts on this subject by clicking on “ASSISTED SUICIDE” in the TAG CLOUD). “I welcome this … Continue reading
“Eat More Fruit & Veg 7”
This is a continuation of the fruit and veg theme (click on the “EMFV” in the TAG CLOUD for the other posts). Speaking of rabbits, lettuce is another one of the healthy foods. You just have to eat a bowlful to … Continue reading
“Monument or Headstone 2”?
(This is a continuing post on the recent theme of the assisted dying bill, click on ASSISTED SUICIDE in the TAG CLOUD for other posts on this subject). Professor Theo Boer who originally was an advocate of assisted dying has … Continue reading
