This glimpse into my gastronomic preferences also relates to a critical appraisal note from this month (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/8/821.2) It’s shockingly relevant to one of the articles too - a belief changer perhaps - about ultrasound screening in Beckwith-Weiderman syndrome (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/8/824). The other might make you wish hard for tomorrow when the sun is shining over your resuscitation dolly [HT to all the musical theatre kids there] and how often we need to learn how to bounce up and down and sing about elephants (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/8/821.1).
