Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

You should not confuse your career with your life.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

Never lick a steak knife.

The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

Your friends love you anyway.

Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

...hello dear friends and fellow bloggers, I'm home after two days of medication hell once more.
I was going to write an April Fool on here, and say I am fit and well and not going to write about anything remotely connected with hospitals...but alas, the truth rings out again.

My medicine, or rather the steroid injected into my spine had a violent and severe reaction with affected my whole head, face, chest and right arm...lucky for me that my friend, also a Doctor, noticed these effects and pushed me through to get more urgent attention, rather than the surgery which would have been needed had this been allowed to wait (typically in the NHS), another 24 hours. I thank my lucky stars.

I trust you are all well?
Warmest wishes on a fine night in Norwich,

Ed xx
