It's been a while

Finished working in kaitaia Northland, NZ. Now in Auckland being a domestic god while my wife works.We are living in a run down motorcamp in Remuera. It sold a year ago for 11 million. It's going to become an old folks village. Campsites all over NZ disappearing as owners get millions for the land - shame!!

Telecom hotspots $9 per hour - bugger. I just got used to endless high speed mega gigbytes for 40 a month. Oh well.

Probably won't be any medical stuff for a while as cooking is now more my focus, as well as fixing dings in fifth-wheel and ute.

Nice example on the radio today of evidence that suits being used.

Government agency is funding a cheaper ventolin alternative. Same stuff they say - bio equalivalence is the same two. Funny thing is it tastes different and a signioficant number of patients reckon its not as good.

The government agency didn't use a DOEM and certainly not a POEM. They used a COEM.



DOEM is disease orientated evidence that matters. POEM is patient orientated evidence that matters. COEM - I made it up C standing for chemical.

Ask your doctor for POEMs - sing me some poems doc!! We need evidence that matters to us. ASK FOR IT. DEMAND IT. And while you are at it asked for absolute number - ask for NNT and NNH - numbers needed to treat and harm.
