This week we had a tremendous number of SMS messages, that we will get to in a moment.

We started the evening with a look at what is hot in the doctors offices this week.

In the Office:

Sinusitis, impetigo, erythema multiforme

Norovirus - winter vomiting bug. We are still seeing it.

We kicked of the evening with the discovery that even the doctors can and do get ill.

And then there was a little chat about worms!

The Podcast!

We did get a number of SMS messages that really formed the basis of the show, here are some of what we received to follow the podcast with.
