http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Friday, 28 September 2007. Hospital Scandal: "MP did not consent to digital insertion". Nulabour MP, James Purnell, has accused Tameside General Hospital of subjecting him to a digital insertion without his consent. The NHS Trust has admitted that a digital insertion took place but claims that Mr Purnell asked for it. Mr Purnell, 37, is Gordon Brown's new Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a post previously held by Chris Smith, the first openly gay MP. Dr Ray at Work.

Dr Rays focal spot: October 2007
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Wednesday, 31 October 2007. With her permission, I have reproduced a posting on DNUK (a doctors only site) by Miss Anna Athow, a Consultant Surgeon with 35 years experience as a doctor. Although it is perhaps overlong it does dissect the truth behind Darzi's reforms and needs a broader readership. Darzi's 'Framework of Action'=NHS privatisation in England. It claims to be about services not institutions. In fact it proposes to smash the fundamental institutions of the NHS; NHS gen...

Dr Rays focal spot: January 2008
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Friday, 25 January 2008. Trust me. I'm a doctor. There was a time when the expression "Trust me. I'm a doctor" would not have had everyone falling over in laughter. Unlike politicians, who have always had a reputation for being dishonest. The present UK government, currently under investigation by the Metropolitan police for breaching their own regulations on electoral fraud. Telemedicine, and in particular teleradiology, distances the doctor from the patient and the radiologist from ...

Dr Rays focal spot: DoH pulls plug on MercuryHealth mobile scanners
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2007/11/doh-pulls-plug-on-mercuryhealth-mobile.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Wednesday, 21 November 2007. DoH pulls plug on MercuryHealth mobile scanners. Tuesday was a truly horrible day in the West Midlands. I took a day out to attend a radiologists' meeting at Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham, only 70 odd miles away, and spent a total of 5 hours on the road driving (or sitting in stationary traffic) in heavy rain and half an hour queuing for lunch for the sake of around 4 hours of lectures. The news was also briefly covered in the Guardian. I would guess t...

Dr Rays focal spot: May 2007
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Thursday, 31 May 2007. I was reading another blog this afternoon and came across a quote from Karl Popper. Considered to be one of the most important philosophers of the last century. On a lighter note I was pleased with the number of hits on the www.uk-radiology.co.uk. Hits on the site (and inquiries) have gone up month on month just at the rate I could cope with and yesterday broke through the 1000 hit/month barrier:. Wednesday, 23 May 2007. Road to Damascus experience. The judge wa...

Dr Rays focal spot: MRI scan price war.
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2007/12/mri-scan-price-war.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Sunday, 30 December 2007. MRI scan price war. Private imaging cowboys shoot it out. A couple of years ago it was quite common-place for patients to be charged £600 for a single area MRI scan. The atmosphere surrounding private medicine was very much like I imagine it is when buying a Saville Row suit: "if Sir. Needs to ask the price then Sir. They had the lucrative London market to themselves for about a year but just before this Christmas, Med-Tel, another private scanning centre in ...

Dr Rays focal spot: Into the sunset
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2008/02/into-sunset.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Sunday, 17 February 2008. It's been a while since I wrote anything on this blog and I owe an apology to the small circle of readers who visit regularly. I do have other excuses. I originally set up this blog to help publicise UK-radiology. Finally, one of our number is on maternity leave and we decided to do her work between us rather than employ a locum. Radiologists suffer a credibility problem in hospitals and a bad locum can undo, in a few weeks, what has taken years to build ...

Dr Rays focal spot: November 2007
http://drraysfocalspot.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Dr Rays focal spot. Sunday, 25 November 2007. Mercury Health's second failed venture. To a man (or woman) they chose to make it a personal attack on me while seeking public sympathy for their individual plight, now that the grunts at the front line have lost their jobs. I will even go as far as giving additional prominence to some of the comments:. Dr Ray's face in this focal spot is a true representaion of yourself! Does anyone else have trouble understanding this? Labels: second rate diagnostics. I too...
