It’s very hard to get accountability and compensation from Government policy & strategy. Really tough to see the ongoing struggle in the defined & fairly clear cut case of ppl, especially men with haemophilia, who contracted HIV/AIDs through blood transfusions from ‘cheap’ imported blood.
Wondering about the 1,000+ patients seen by Sir Simon Wessely. Presumably more than one consultation each & a management plan.
What about a proposing a study of the impact of the treatment regime on such a consistently treated cohort: methods and results, subjective & objective?

An update: I am giving a Paper at the Border and Crossings Travel Writing Conference in Leicester this week. I was asked to submit and paper & delighted to be accepted. It will be a struggle to attend as I am having a tough time at the moment, but I hope to participate as much in the whole event...
Absolutely- if you’re not looking for data, you’re not going to get any.

I think it’s interesting that his progress is hugely dependent on factors outside his control, although his skill in navigation & making the best of wind, wave & tide comes into it too. Also a...

I try to stay on and positively engaged, particularly when Twitter gets difficult, though try not to get embroiled in unproductive culs-de-sac.
I think constructive responses are vital, but not for everyone, and I pick my timings & engagements carefully. Though am not always wise ...
Hi All Just to say I’m Virtually walking the Te Araroa Trail: mapping my daily steps against the trail map. Am just out of Puketi Forest & headed for the East Coast. Tweet daily about it.
I spent nearly a year in Lower Hutt in the late 80s & revisited twice, with friends there. May pop in from...
