Not to mention the laughing out loud - other people in my office don't believe me when I tell them I'm reading reviews of medical journal articles!

A retired practitioner who lives in a (by Australian standards) moderately remote part of regional Australia finds the invariably cultured nature Richard's comments a wonderful refreshment as well as educational, amusing, and keeping an older person in touch with the curent medical scene. I am on his e-mail list and ALWAYS eagerly await its arrival. Sarah’s and Christ’s comments say most of what I wish to say as well as I can hope to.

He gives a clear, concise, witty and erudite summary of all the main articles with a fine General Practitioner's eye. His vast knowledge of his subject allows him to casually update the jobbing clinician with the latest articles, but also to put them in a recent historical perspective, so that we can judge how important each new piece of research is. He is also very funny, and his weekly poems and plants add a true generalists view of the world. Unmissable.

Drawing comparisons with other diagnostic tests we perform in internal tubes of sorts such as PAP smears. However cervical metaplastic cells have long ceased to be of any concern for cervical dysplasia. I wonder if Barretts metaplasia will get similarly downgraded in future?
