What Have We Learned?

What Have We Learned?

by Dr Joe | Dec 14, 2020 | Covid 19, Future Health, Infectious Diseases, Modern Life, Politics

As I write this last column for 2020, the words of the late John Lennon come to mind; “So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over A new one just begun” Last week marked the 40th anniversary of his tragic death by homicide.  Where has that time gone...

It Is Written In The Stars

by Dr Joe | Nov 16, 2020 | Children's Health, Covid 19, Future Health, Health Care Costs, Medical Tests, Mental Health, Parenting, The Practice of Medicine

Like nearly all of us, I sometimes look at astrological forecasts. At the start of this year nobody predicted a pandemic. Yet, to give credit where due, the prediction was for a year of unusually big upheaval based on a conjunction of Saturn and Pluto. Apparently...

Welcome To 1848!

by Dr Joe | Oct 5, 2020 | Covid 19, Infectious Diseases, Public Health, The Practice of Medicine

Handwashing, as a way of reducing the spread of infection, has gained new traction in 2020. It is worth remembering that this concept was not always accepted. In fact, when first proposed as a way to reduce puerperal infection and maternal mortality- it was rejected...
Digging Down Reveals Critical Data

Digging Down Reveals Critical Data

by Dr Joe | Sep 7, 2020 | Covid 19, Infectious Diseases, Medical Research, Public Health

A well-researched piece by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, which I encourage all to read, was published this week. It examined the reasons why countries are seeing more cases of Covid19 but fewer deaths. Statistics can be bamboozling and are often used to confuse people. This is...
