They are all part time.One was on maternity leave. One was on holiday. One was not on that afteroon. The other had finished her early afternoon sugery and was off doing the school run. So, as occasionally happens, there were only male doctors available. I was "duty doctor". A female patient phoned to say that she had been in an RTA that morning. A car had driven into the side of her car. Not hurt. A bit shaken up. She was 29 weeks into her second pregnancy. No pain. No bleeding. She felt that the baby was "more active than usual".Does not sound too serious, but you have to be sure. I offered her an appointment within the hour. She asked if I would want to examine her abdomen. I said I would. She said she was not prepared to be examined by a male doctor and tha...

Until you look at how the study was designed. Research results are fantastic things — they have the ability to add to our knowledge on a subject of interest. But we’re seeing a growing trend that is not being managed well by many journals these days — the trend of generalizing from data to conclusions that can’t be drawn from the study conducted. And journal editors, such as those at PLoS ONE aren’t reining in such bold statements as these (taken from the current study): These results demonstrate that face processing can no longer be considered as arising from a universal series of perceptual ev...

I started to write a response on her blog, but after I got to 4 paragraphs thought I should just write my response here, rather than totally hijack her blog.I have seen studies that relate how blacks are diagnosed at a later age than whites, and have not been surprised. Because of my unique position (white physician parenting an autistic bi-racial (African American/Caucasian) 7 year old, I have a few things to say on the subject. About the only thing that could have made this article more relevant to me would be throwing adoption into the mix (both our kids are adopted). But even if you’re part of what I perceive to be a mostly white middle class (I think you hav... Club 166 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=611995 Tue, 15 May 2007 04:48:00 +0100 611995
