Sharper and Harder Where is the battle going next? What will be the next front? The intensity of attack seems exponential. “Have you ever noticed,” said Dimble, “that the universe, and every bit of the universe is always hardening and narrowing and coming to a point?” His wife waited as those wait who know by […]
Which side of the polarity regarding child abuse will Medical Defence Organisations defend? If they defend surgeons who do transgender mastectomy for a 25 yr-old on the grounds that fully informed consent was given, will they also defend surgeons who have done the same procedure for a 13 yr-old who decides to sue when an adult?
Jesus’ condemnation re leading children into sin is quite specific as is its judgment. Other evils that concern us do not merit the same specific judgment. May this truth be reflected in our thinking and our living.

This week 50 yrs and 1000 days. This week St Luke’s GP Medical Group is 50 years old, opening the week before the Meckering earthquake and this Thursday is 1000 days of Dr Ken Elliott’s captivity.
This is a clear ethical divide in which it is essential for medicine, not activists and not governments, to be decisive and authoritative. There is no neutral, no opt-out. And our lawmakers certainly should not be legislating in this madness perpetuating child abuse – folie en parlement.

The real question that needs an answer now is when your two-year-old boy tells you that he is a girl, what are you going to say?

Good Medicine is the heart and soul of Good Medical Practice… When Medicine falls, so does society.
When Medicine loses its heart and soul, society is the poorer.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
