Unfortunately I was suffering from the worst cold ever (N.B. every cold I have is the worst cold ever) so I couldn’t speak enough to do the recording. I’ve now been able to finish it (with a bit of help from the dog, who snuffles in the background), so you can listen on the player above, or by clicking here.

In other news, I’m pleased to announce that The Quack Doctor is a finalist in the Medgadget Awards Best Literary Medical Weblog category. I’m up against some excellent contenders, but if you’d like to vote for me I would of course be delighted. You can see all the different categories and finalists here, or go straight to the poll here. Voting closes on 14 Feb.
