Radiotherapy

What exactly should a parent do when a child or a loved one gets addicted to ice?

Also - Doolittle talks about wedding expenses and the relation with their marriage duration, and is it enough to be a good clinician or should a doctor be a good role model as well?

Dr SK and Dr Annabolics have regular guest Dr Fincina Hopgood - lecturer and researcher in Cinema Studies at Melbourne University, and also a local expert in the representation of mental health issues in the movies in the studios.

Two film festivals, the Human Rights Arts and Film Festivaland Medfesthappening at Monash Medical Centre Clayton also get discussed and there's also chat about the so-called 'McDonaldisation' of health and mental health services and the Mental Health Commission.
