I have a friend who is a GP who assures me that every report about health and medicine on the TV news is utter rubbish.
The father of a friend of mine used to be a surgeon and he used to watch a really horrible German TV programme called "Die Schwarzwaldklinik" ('The Black Forest Hospital') and laugh his head off because it was all such utter nonsense. I didn't really believe him that he really found it so amusing and thought it was all a bit put on and what doctors had to think of this, until I watched him watch it one day. There was one scene in the operating theatre which had him so convulsed in mirth that I still remember it--he is one of those people who is just very funny when he's amused and you just have to laugh along.
