All Things Health

My doctor - obviously - knows all about medical matters. She can read such journals and understand every word. I guess, though, if she didn't she wouldn't last very long as a doctor. Still, medical knowledge does save lives. And being a doctor is a very important job. I do also know that doctors have to work at hospitals for a number of years before being able to become a General Practitioner.

In fact, I got a Human Biology qualification years ago: I hated it. I completed it - and I did all the exams - but I knew I would never work in healthcare. I would not do such a course again. I guess that's why I finished the course: so I'd never have to repeat another year of it. No: I am an artist, a writer, a designer. I am not a doctor.

You know what I find these kinds of reports very damaging , because  by the time they reach mainsteam media they will have been simplified for the average idiot to understand and the conclusion will be that if you have Alzhiemer or any other dementia you must be a drunk.

Of course there is Korsakoff syndrome which  is related to drinking.  But then again theres Kuru and that has  all to do with drinking but a cause much darker!

Seriously this gives those less educated the oppertunity to place blame where there should be understanding and shame where there should be sympathy.
