This week, in our Christmas episode, Nik is joined again by GP Fiona Ritchie to talk about "Last Christmas" starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding . It's  a fantastic seasonal watch, but also has some very strong health related themes to discuss. It has the potential to pack a massive emotional punch with some of our patients too, especially in these difficult times.
As it's Christmas, Fiona gets the chance to win a million (virtual) pounds! Will she do it, and will the experience help her to remember a tricky medical fact forever ?!?
All this and we also have the usual round up of the medical news headlines and what's been covered by daytime TV in the past week...

This week Nik is joined by doctors Tabitha Morrison and Fenella Powell, two great friends from medical school, to talk about the Channel 4 show "Naked Attraction". How did the show evolve and what do we think it's trying to achieve? Does it deliver? Whatever the case, it may result in patients coming to consult with us regarding body image and self esteem concerns. Would you go on?!
We also have the usual look at the medical news headlines- in trying to warn patients about the symptoms of bowel cancer, has one of the tabloids side stepped the dangers of an acute upper GI bleed? In our round up of daytime TV Christmas indigestion and red flags are covered...
