Are you a frog?

Both Doctors and the Media Misinform the Public About Tetanus
Over the years, I have heard lots of medical practitioners and government health officials say some unbelievably stupid things about vaccination. No, really – there have been some corkers! Vaccines don't need to be tested... Way back in the 1990s, I did a double-take when Dr Gavin Frost,

Respecting Our Families
When it comes to the media and the so-called Skeptic community, there is a real double-standard in regards to the value of not only our children but our rights to keep them safe from harm as we see fit – whether that is the harm posed by disease or

I've changed my mind
They say it’s a woman’s prerogative. Making one decision and then, down the track, changing your mind. But everyone does it and it’s not necessarily a bad thing either. Think about those words - changing your mind. Taken literally, they may sound a bit strange. They conjure up

Social media: A Source of Information, Support and a Trap
I have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn and Flickr. They take a bit of time, but I’ve felt that the investment was worth it for the gain received. News tends to come out very quickly on these venues, so I have stayed on the very cutting edge
