Magic mixture

Article Abstract:

East End teenagers and eldery people from Mile End hospital, London, UK, have been involved in a little less than 4,000 pounds sterling, six-months joint arts project, led by the voluntary organisation, Magic Me, and funded by the London Arts Board. The result is a photographic exhibition 'Private Lives: Public Faces', a view of how privacy and individuality can be kept in the context of the institutionalised eldery or peer pressure on teenagers. During weekly visits to the hospital the youngsters and eldery have built up a mutually beneficial relationship. It is hoped that the exhibition will lead to Magic Me being known and working nationwide.

Laboured relations

Article Abstract:

Many GPs are unwilling to agree to attend a woman who wishes to give birth at home, and there have even been cases where women who continue to insist on a home birth have been removed from their GP's practice. The National Childbirth Trust has condemned this attitude, pointing out that a midwife attending a home birth would not call a GP in an emergency, but an obstetrician. However, the BMA has issued legal advice to its members warning them to avoid home births unless they are on the obstetric list.

Once bitten

Article Abstract:

The symptoms of malaria can be very similar to those of flu, and it is therefore very common for malaria to be incorrectly diagnosed by GPs. Even when a patient is admitted to hospital, a correct diagnosis may not be made for some time. Most nurses are not really certain how to deal with malaria, and this can make the patient extremely anxious. The treatment can be rather unpleasant, and it will take some time for the patient to make a full recovery.
