This is a new idea of ours to make a record of what we discussed in the BMJ news huddle. Please let us know if this of interest to you and please comment on what we are covering and iif there is anything else you think we shoud cover. News list · Dissidents of the Health Bill have been elected to the BMA council · Does childhood obesity increase blood pressure in adolescence? · Royal Society have a new report, People and the Planet, which suggests that we need to think carefully about over population of the planet · UK internet supplier of fake Viagra, Martin Hickman, is ordered to pay back £14.4m · What has caused a series of adolescent suicides in Russia? Social networks and irresponsible media coverage ?
We also discussed · Khalil Dale, British aid worker beheaded in Pakistan – to cover in a news article. But how much coverage should we give him? · Radical prostatectomy vs "watchful waiting” – is prostactectomy unnecessary? As reported in the Independent on Saturday? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/study-raises-doubts-over-treatment-for-prostate-cancer-7685310.html
BMJ Poll ideas · Doctors.net poll of 1,096 found that 54% of doctors patients who are obese or smoke should be withheld non emergency treatment. · Or should we have something related to this week’s print content? Lucentis vs Avastin? · Picture of the week · Leonardo da Vinci anatomical drawings exhibition at Buckingham Palace · An image of Khalil Dale |

Indeed you have skyesteve and I have requested for it to be highlighted in the print edition of the BMJ! It might just be a link to it but it would be good to get more doc2doc content mentioned in the BMJ. In Response to Re: BMJ huddle – what we discussed 30/04/12: Or should we have something related to this week’s print content? Lucentis vs Avastin? I have done a blog on it...

Many thanks Dr.mbillingsley for the novel idea to make a record of what have been discussed in the BMJ forums. This would help us in a multifaceted manner, like statistical analysis, sorting out the topics of special importance & so on. My best wishes for this new & significantly important step-forward project. |

Glad you like this feature Dr Ashutosh I'm going to see how it goes. If it is of genuine interest to the community I will continue. Anybody have comments on the format? Maybe limit it to the top 3 things discussed at the meeting? |
