Dr Google; Sexual orientation and the NHS; Hypermobility; Surgery for COPD
GPs have been told to ask about their patients' sexual orientation as NHS England plans to record this data for everyone using the
service over the age of 16. Dr Google - are doctors' noses really being put out of joint by patients searching their
symptoms on the internet to come up with their own diagnoses? Hypermobility is being double jointed and
flexible and is often perceived as an asset, but for around 1 in 30 of the population it can be a problem that is
often missed - and mismanaged. Plus a counterintuitive approach to help people with Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease. You might think the last thing someone with breathing difficulties needs is smaller lungs,
but lung reduction surgery is exactly what's being offered some people with COPD.
