Opinion Poll
A debate is underway on the Government's proposal to grow the role of allied health professionals, such as nurses, in the provision of health care solutions currently provided by GPs. The Minister for Health and Ageing was recently reported as saying: "Ms Roxon stated that doctors must be prepared to "let go of some work that others can safely do", and dangled the carrot of incentives for those who turned their attention to more complex patients."

Medical Fact of the Day
William Murphy was an American physician who worked with George Minot on the treatment of pernicious anaemia. They showed that by feeding these unfortunate patients a diet of uncooked liver, they were able to overcome the effects of the anaemia. These two were able to show that the anaemia had come about as the result of a deficiency of an unknown substance. Later work showed that such anaemia may come about either through a lack of vitamin B12 in the diet or a failure to absorb vitamin B12. In the case of many of the sufferers of pernicious anaemia, this was because of an absence of intrinsic factor in the stomach. Murphy and Minot shared the 1934 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1934 with George Whipple, whose research they had built upon. Murphy was born on this day in 1892.
