Public Stools
A smartly dressed, middle-aged lady came in and sat down. Let's call her Angela. Angela was a child of the 60s, the decade of female emancipation. But, while other girls of her age were letting their hair down at Woodstock, Angela was still at school....

"You may mock if you like. But let me remind the cynics among you that it was this sort of public school training that made the British empire what it is today."
What's that then a pile of poo?

The Guardianistas will love this anecdote; most of them must be full of shit jusding by the amount of crap they spout forth.
so if i bought a guardian newspaper
can i read your articles or are they just on line?
You may buy a copy of the Guardian and read the articles every Tuesday

I imagine that the straining in order to 'perform' at exactly 7.45 every day might have contributed to the terrible piles..
I really used to enjoy your rant/blog, even though quite a lot of its content was of that that Angela passes at 7.30am.
Quite tame now. Were you the anonymous that asked yourself if your articles were only available on line so you could plug your column in the Guardian?
Shame on you Dr. Crippen. Bought and paid for! GPs do like a bit more money then? It seems like you've sold your principles. Shame on you!

Gawd! No I wasn't. I'm not that anal.
i'm sorry you are missing the regularly blogging. I hope to get back to it, but just at the moment I have other serious commitments that prevent me from writing daily.
Yes, I DO earn a little from the Guardian... but not much, and that's not the reason for doing it. I can manage the weekly commitment.
But I will be back on a regular basis here, but probably not until next year.
Sorry

The measles is an infectious disease, produced by a virus, Morbillivirus call that belongs to the family of paramixovirus. The Measles is an acute, universal epidemic disease, extremely contagious and it characterizes because the patient has elevated fever, congested eyes, general malaise and the appearance of reddened injuries of puntiforme aspect in the skin that are scattered by all the body, this is part of the information delivered findrxonline on this subject that has generated much importance in its consequences.
Some of the spam in these comments is really a bit surreal....
Anyway. What was the point behind your last article Doc? I'm assuming your closing comments were tongue-in-cheek (I hope!), but I'm struggling to work out what your position is...?
It was entertaining enough, and readable as always, but it's left me a wee bit confused as to its purpose.
Hi there buddy. Consider this a spam or not, I will continue reading your stuffs. Great, actually.=)
hi.. just dropping by here... have a nice day! http://kantahanan.blogspot.com/
sorry it was me who asked about the guardian. i was thinking of maybe buying it. however i have decided to stick to my usual Hello magazine, and the restaurant pages of sunday times, because i sort of associate guardian with ernest vegetarian librarians who have no central heating in their houses, keep and allotment, do nothing about their facial hair and generally make me feel inadequate.
Apologies Dr. Crippen for the misdiagnosis of vanity.
I have the Guardian delivered but also read The Daily Mail if I on the bus - I love the cryptic crossword and also salivate when they kindly inform me of your grossly inflated income - but sometimes the Independant or The Telegraph.
In view of the above, I have no doubt that I have mental health problems as I do not where I fit in to society, therefore really have no right to sit in judgement of yourself.
Looking forward to the new year and can't your articles in The Guardian be a bit more inflammatory?
Surely you can't manage the weekly commitment if you're recycling old columns.

Wow... and to think parents spent their hard earned money on sending their kids to a place like that:O

Well I wish I'd been to that school. I don't remember anybody ever doing No 2s in the school toilets in the whole 13 years I was at school. There was a sort of unspoken rule that it was just not the thing to do. As a result, even now, many years later, I can't do it if there's anyone else around. That can be quite a problem. My school was free.
Dr C,
Sorry to see your blogging has slowed down. I hope your observations keep coming even if the Guardian isn't paying for them...

Glamorganist - "Crippen has become a Social Commentator like Polly Toynbee or Melanie Phillips. It's a shame he can't write as well as either of them"
Bwaaaaaah thanks for the laugh, it's a tonic to see someone using sarc... oh wait, you mean you actually think right-wing, empty-headed hack bitches like Melanie Phillips are the embodiment of 'real' writing?
God help you.

is the guardians for lib democrates?
capgrass: "is the guardians for lib democrates?"
Traditionally it's for people who can't spell, so you and Crippen should feel quite at home there.
Medicines that are used for bone pain are narcotics findrxonline as opioids such as Vicodin, Lortab, OxyContin, hydrocodone and the doctors that are usually used to combat pain they cause diseases such as homeopathy, fibromyalgia and even cancer In general, these medicines are used mostly is the United States and Europe are controlled because their use can lead to addiction.

Why no such 'love' for Polly Toynbe? Don't tell us you think she's any less of a hack.
"Traditionally it's for people who can't spell, so you and Crippen should feel quite at home there."
I thought it was awful handwriting?
Dearest Dr. Crippen,
Where are you? I scoured the G2 section of the Guardian until the ink was no more. I scoured the main section in case you were elevated in status.
I am just a mere nurse and not yet a quacktioner or nocter, but do so miss your vitreolic comments!
What is blood?
good thing i never bought it then isnt it. maybe its guardian on line is it? my collegue in the nursing home (the one who has no central heating) reads the guardian. she bought in an apple pie the other day. a patient was sick unexpectantly and so she used the empty pie dish for a sick bowel. the patient filled it to the top with what looked like ork blood. this is the same patients who i am using sterile maggots on her leg ulcer as it is so sluffy. however the maggots all died. so there is something really wrong with patient. Any how now guardian reader-who-has-no-central-heating woman has offered to bring me in another apple pie as i said i liked her last one (she signs me agency form). Will she use the same bowl? what shall i do?
Dear John,
I am not sure about anyone else, but in some way I feel let down by the fact that I have to link over to the Guardian to read the NHS Blog Doc.
The writing is the same, the point and purpose the same. Yet somehow it is not.
I cannot understand my own reaction to your success - other than to say I am not in any way jealous. Maybe by being non "mainstream" you were more real?
Anyway, keep up the writing - However it happens I will continue to read and appreciate.
All the best
Dr Sniper
Although the sentiments are the same John, the vitriol is not quite as it was. Where's the fun gone.( I have to confess although I am not an earnest (that's spelt EArnest Capgrass, not ernest)librarian, I do enjoy the Guardian - however I enjoyed the witty repartee so much more in this blog. Hey ho.
The toilet would have been the best place for your biased and misinformed article on xmrv retrovirus.
