Dr No is a medical doctor who has had over 35 years experience of medicine, both inside and outside the NHS. Bad Medicine is his blog in which he casts a sceptical eye on all aspects of medicine. Especially Bad Medicine.

This website is the March 2020 continuation of the previous Bad Medicine website which can still be found at https://badmed.net.

April 2024 update: for those kind enough to wonder, Dr No is alive and well, and is just taking a break from blogging, duration unknown.

A better NHS — A consistently good blog of usually essay style posts on various aspects of mostly general practice.

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick — A fellow sceptic medic of sound views...

Dr Allyson Pollock — The thinking epidemiologist's crumpet.

HyperCRYPTICal — A long-standing and much loved blogging friend. Also the blog on which Dr No outed himself in Dec 2011.

Margaret McCartney's Blog — Nowadays mostly links/refs for R4's Inside Health, from a very clear thinking no nonsense Glaswegian GP.

Hector Drummond Magazine — A multi-author magazine-style blog, edited by Hector Drummond, with consistently good articles, many about covid-19.
