I'll stick an extra question here
I'm off for a second appointment with the doctor in ten minutes, mentioned this to a friend and her first reaction was to say 'oooh have you googled him to find out if he's hot.' It's never occurred to me to google doctors, seems strange to me. Any of you miscreants done it?

No, that's weird.

Fuck no.
I have no interest in the 'hotness' of my doctor. Seeing as my last three have been an octagenarian Indian man, a twenty stone African woman and weird-looking bummer I have no reason to start doing so.

I met a hot trainee doctor on saturday.
I'm tempted to add her on facebook, but she's a bit too nice. "I'm going hiking with my parents tomorrow" nice.

You're wasting your time there.

That's my thinking, I'll cross her off my to do list.

and everywhere else
you have to give him credit though, he's forever posting on here about some "hot" bird that he is after. none of them become his girlfriend, ever. even accidentally. but he keeps cheerfully plugging away in pursuit of the next "hot" "chick".

it's inspirational in its cheery persistence. inspirational and fucking creepy.

They aren't monkeys, Gonz, they're apes.

Are you some kind of massive apeist?

I had a gastro doctor growing up, 'Prof Walker Smith', he was the lead peado-gastro doctor in the _world_.
Reguarly when I had treatments (via private) I would see people from all over europe and even the states, to get his treatment. He basicly pioneered the usage of [whatever kind of drugs it is]. He saved a rediculous amount of lives through his innovations.

I googled him about a month ago, and it turns out he got struck off, for saying that MMR is linked to verious imume deseases. But you know what, coming from a patient who knows fuck all, he was right... everyone had huge flair ups within a year of taking them, it was a common thing agmonst us lot.

Gonz, it's not. There is not one single shred of valid published medical evidence linking the two.
And I presume you mean John Walker-Smith? He was struck off for running an unethical medical trial on children and then lying to cover it up. He was fairly fucking lucky not to go prison.

That's the guy ! Lovely fella.
Hold up a sec, what medical trial? really? can you link me please. Oh my.

This is like the bit in Hook when the kid's playing baseball and the pirates are yelling "RUN HOME JACK" instead of "HOME RUN JACK", and he starts to realise that Hook isn't really the good guy =S

He ran the trial
that Andrew Wakefield (MMR bullshitter extraordinaire) used to publish his evidence that MMR, autism and bowel diseases were linked in children. Which he made up. Because he was being paid by a company that had a vested interest in selling single vaccines rather than the triple one. Which has since, because the fucking Daily Fail refuse to let the truth stand in the way of a good gossip, resulted in vaccination levels dropping below what is necessary to prevent disease epedemics, and hence the resurgence of mumps and, to my knowledge, at least 3 deaths are directly on their hands.

To be fair to Walker-Smith
he probably thought he was doing the right thing, he didn't gain financially, and he was an old man about to retire anyway. But he still broke the hippocratic oath, acted unethically and lied to try and cover up. I'd prefer, on balance, to not have a doctor who does those things.

Oh good, I'd hate to think he's actually a crook, I don't mind him being a bit senial.
I was 16 when I moved from the kid's ward, so that's a good few years ago.
