Approach a wounded animal with caution. Someone should have told this to NHS England before they wrote THAT letter. In this podcast, in classic GP style, we reflect on how this makes us feel and come to the only obvious conclusion. (We've kept it family friendly...)

And finally what intervention has an NNT of 8 to prevent death in diabetics? Here's a clue: it isn't a medication.
