He is in utter despair over what has happened. … [Read more...] about Empathy for Drug Induced Injuries

This is Dublin's famous Halfpenny Bridge which for some reason features in an article outlining the history of the phrase Tail wags Dog which seems appropriate for what followed. I wrote to Emer recently about a bizarre letter I received from Kinapse - A Brush with EMA - who run EMA's medical literature … [Read more...] about How the Safety of Drugs was Destroyed

The Wild Doctor – Le Médecin Sauvage

August 15, 2023 2 Comments

The French playwright Moliere loved poking fun at pomposity especially when it involved doctors. In Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, he pokes fun at Monsieur Jourdain, a pompous upstart, who has come into money and is taking on airs and graces.

The bravery and dogged persistence of one woman, Rosie Tilli, was in the background to the last RxISK post - Could Journalists be Doctors in Disguise. Her story featured the same day in Antidepressants can Cause Chemical Castration, an article by Maryanne Demasi, a rather exceptional journalist.
