Probably controversial, but a few of the consultants I've come across over the last year or so have all said the same thing, you need to read the *shudders* Daily Mail *shudders*. They sensationalise so many things (last one was that percutaneous coronary intervention does not work and everyone should be offered a bypass - as sanctioned by a top Oxford medic...), and so many people read it (the PCI example was picked up by a friends dad - not normally a DM reader - but about to have a PCI... ...scared people tend to beleive sensational stories) that it helps to know what you are dealing with, and what myths you are going to have to bust...
Know your devil!
