What alcohol cando to, And for, You
21/02/2012 : Heavy drinking does not have any health benefits. Apart from a wide range of negative health consequences, including an increased risk for many chronic diseases (diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, high blood pressure and strokes), many types of cancer (mouth, larynx, and oesophageal cancers, breast cancer and cancers of the liver, gastrointestinal tract and colon), it can also lead to outbursts of violence, physical injuries, etc. Avoiding alcohol can only partially reverse these effects.

Caring for the elderly
14/02/2012 : More than half of my heart patients are above the age of 65. This doesn't come as a surprise since heart diseases usually come with advancing years; the older you are, the higher the risk. But in the not-too-distant future I expect that most of my patients will be 75, or older, because people are now living longer and this increased longevity means that our society contains a greater proportion of elderly citizens.
