I loved it there I only left because after 12 years at Odius they wanted to send me to scotland :( There was no way in hell they were sending me there. Afghanistan yeah, Iraq yeah but bloody Scotland not a hope :) I probably know you to look at if you were there in 2002 as I didn't leave till 2003 I was in EFDC, better known as the stroppy b*st*rd down in EFDC :)

Prescription drugs. I analyse the records of UK and US patients to identify how drugs are being used to treat people in real life. You'd be surprised at how many doctors use a drug to treat a condition that the drug was not developed for!

It's called "thinking outside of the envelope".

It requires brains to do it(successfully).

Yeah we call them GPs

And what should we call you?

Doing your own house as you want it done properly, eh?

(the f***ing cowboys we use as contractors I wouldn't trust to fit a plug let alone wire a building, they already managed to blow the guts out of a school's baseband modem and hub - disconnected neutral on a three-phase supply? - yet wriggle out of paying for it!)
