Doing stuff is easy, not doing stuff is hard, particularly if you’ve been doing it for a year. This isn’t just about smoking, drinking, and wild banjo playing on the porch at midnight, though we talk about it on the podcast (https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/5/457.2), but also echoed in an upcoming Editorial (https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2026/04/03/archdischild-2026-330309).
If reality were alterable by waving your hand, do you think you might do it? If you’re intrigued, the work on X-rays for PICC-tips might enthrall you (https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/5/457.1) or just wave at people. See what happens. (Note, the ADC is not responsible for any adverse events if you do this in London rather than the North!).
This podcast is written and presented by Prof Bob Phillips (Hull-York Medical School, UK), Archimedes section editor of Archives of Disease in Childhood. He brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians.
