Praise the lord for the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, or NICE to give it it's oh so suitable acronym. Not to be confused with the New Cycling Enthusiasts, although its an easy mistake to make.
Now, some trouble makers out there with their 'famous for 15 minute' diseases are calling it the National Institute for Curbing Expenditure, and this upsets Dr Informed. If NICE didn't issue forth their highly rigorous and just decisions, and take months and months over it, the PCTs wouldn't find it so easy to place arbitary blanket bans on doctors prescribing expensive drugs for their ill patients. If any one kicks up a stink, it is easy for them to be beaten down with the 'mighty stick of evidence. It also allows Dr informed to give his brain a rest. Having to keep up to date with all these super new medicines would take its toll on his golf handicap......
FORE!
