And I just increasingly found myself reading it thinking, what is this?

And why is this being issued by our Department of Health and signed by so many seemingly very important people who are in sensible positions?

I'm Helen MacDonald, UK Research Editor at the BMJ and a resting GP.

It means you spend too much time being a mum and editing to do any clinical work.

I'm happy to come back at any time.

They make it easy.

Just get your little violin out.

Yes.

Well, I've got a great research paper for you guys this week, which is from the BMJ's Christmas edition, which is where everything is a bit unusual.

So good science, slightly quirky questions.

And I have a paper called Q Fever.

Can you guess what this is about?

It's about something I can't do.

Be quiet.

So these authors say that saying quiet is about the worst thing that you can do at work.

And they say Adam Kay, ex-junior doctor, says in his book, say the Q word to a doctor and you are all but performing an incantation summoning up the sickest people in the world to your hospital.

And I certainly remember being told off a lot in hospital.
