An apple a day. Health, hype and the media. Sunday, 8 March 2009. A cotton bud emergency. As a lot of my recent posts have been about rather serious issues, here is a lighter story, from one of my favourite health-related blogs, Nee Naw. The blog is written by a London Ambulance Service worker, who deals with incoming emergency calls at the Emergency Operations Centre (or Nee Naw Control, as she calls it).

http://gemmapritchardhealth.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html
An apple a day. Health, hype and the media. Monday, 9 March 2009. I am currently working on a feature about the health risks of cannabis smoking to young people. We have all heard by now of the risks to mental health associated with the drug. The Government's new FRANK. Campaign, which coincides with the reclassification of the drug from Class C to Class B, has focussed on psychological risks, such as panic attacks, paranoia and depression . And the chief executive of the charity Drugscope. City Universi...

An apple a day. Health, hype and the media. Sunday, 16 November 2008. Very interesting piece here. In the Times today by writer Francesca Okeke about growing up with a mentally ill parent. While we're on the subject, also worth a look is Horizon's 'How Mad Are You? On Channel 4 at the moment. Taking a 'reality TV' approach to mental illness, the first episode last Tuesday pulled in nearly 2 million viewers. Breakthrough HIV vaccine does not work. The clinical trial of a HIV vaccine in the. In fact, peopl...

An apple a day...: Dignity in dying?
http://gemmapritchardhealth.blogspot.com/2009/03/dignity-in-dying.html
An apple a day. Health, hype and the media. Sunday, 8 March 2009. For several reasons, the issue of assisted dying has cropped up in my working life this week. And it's a subject that I am still chewing over, and finding remarkably difficult to digest. I work for a Labour MP, who has received a number of requests to sign an Early Day Motion which calls for a debate on the law on assisted dying and assisted.

An apple a day. Health, hype and the media. Sunday, 8 March 2009. He's just not that into you. New research, conducted by the Time to Change.
