13.01.2010- the blog begins

This is my first venture into the strange and wonderful world of the world wide web. I propose to make 365 posts, daily as far as I can manage. In it I will speak candidly about my life and work as a full time NHS GP in his last year of full time work prior to my retirement on my 60th birthday in January 2011.

From time to time I shall comment on current events. Please forgive any political naivitee.

I hereby give an undertaking to present myself as honestly as possible, with a minimum of cant or self justification. I will speak of patient encounters, which if they ever come to read this will find themselves disguised to ensure their anonymity. Similarly I have given myself a pseudonym in case the General Medical Council ever gets to hear of it. But everything you read in my posts will be the truth. I take my inspiration from the great diary of Samuel Pepys, still in my opinion the greatest diarist who ever lived. His diary, also secret, was noted for its candour and unashamed honesty. I cannot aspire to his literary heights, but I can at least do my best to follow in his exalted footsteps.
Now read on...
