Men should check their breasts for lumps too

On the subject of cruise ships, I often think of them as floating buckets of vomit and faeces.

I remember having measles as a child. I recall the distinctive maculopapular rash and feeling generally miserable while missing out on school.

We're up to the letter L and tonight I've chosen to talk about Legionnaires' disease.

Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia caused by various serogroups in the species Legionella pneumophila.

I want to let you know of an important change. If you like Medical Fun Facts and if you subscribe to the podcast and/or the blog posts I'm moving platforms from Squarespace to WordPress.com

I will continue to ensure new shows drop every Monday evening at 7 pm Canberra time. Canberra has just changed to Daylight Saving time so there may be a one hour difference to when you previously received each new show.

One of the benefits of moving to WordPress.com is the better comment capability and ease of embedding the audio and video. It's also easier for me to maintain the site via the WordPress Reader app.
