2.0.0 Hospital Radio: It’s Oh So Quiet
Björk, Kula Shaker, The Communards and Simon & Garfunkel. An unusually quiet Hospital Radio for a listener who can only hear half of it anyway.
The Reluctant Patient
Laughter is the best medicine. Probably.

1.0.0 Hospital Radio: One Step Beyond Madness
Madness, Natalie Imbruglia, No Doubt and several increasingly desperate cries for help. Welcome to Hospital Radio. We're sure everything will be fine.
3.0.0 Eyes Wide Shut
Waking up unable to see properly should probably be considered a medical emergency. It took me a little longer to reach that conclusion.
2.0.0 Hungover and Half Deaf
I woke up after a heavy night unable to hear properly out of one ear. Obviously, I assumed it was earwax. It wasn't earwax.
1.0.0 The Case of the Fragile Foot
A mysterious pain in my foot calls for expert medical advice. So naturally, I turn to Google and a bloke down the pub.
Review: Omron M3 Blood Pressure Monitor
The Omron M3 is a straightforward automatic upper-arm blood pressure monitor designed for home use.
NSAID
Painkillers that also tackle inflammation. NSAIDs became considerably more interesting when my foot decided to introduce me to gout.
Paracetamol
One of the most familiar painkillers in the medicine cupboard. Useful for pain and fever, but unlike ibuprofen, it isn't an anti-inflammatory.
Ibuprofen
Ibuprofen helped when gout made my foot spectacularly painful. Unfortunately, medicines have an irritating habit of interacting with other medicines.
Cholesterol
Even I noticed this one in the blood results. Unfortunately, “cholesterol” turned out to be several numbers rather than one.
