| Introduction | Ex-hospital doctor of libertarian leanings now retired from the NHS. Has concerns about many, many areas of modern life including, but not limited to, healthcare, global warming (is it real and if so what is the cause?), drug misuse, higher education, whistle-blowing and politics. Cursed with mood swings for many years and latterly severe depression. Escitalopram isn't perfect but is a damn sight more use than any sort of talk therapy. Has academic and professional qualifications in medicine, an academic qualification in law and professional qualifications in Forensic Science and analytical chemistry. You can guess my former religious affiliation from the nom de blog I have adopted. Finally, I cannot answer any questions about your personal health, medication or whatever. Consult your doctor if you have any such questions. I have no advice to give you about consulting NHS Direct, Government Flu-lines or Quacktitioners of various flavours. That is up to you. |
