Default Ministry of the Bleedin' Obvious

Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads
As I mentioned in this thread I am a subscriber to Men's Health magazine and one of my favourite little bits in it is when it reports the month's 'least suprising research'. Knowing what lovers of research we are on here (just ask Dennis) I thought I would start reproducing them here.

Here's a recap of the 2 from the May edition:

People who are scared of going to the dentist suffer from more oral health problems. University of Otago, New Zealand

Helmets reduce head injuries. Canadian Medical Association Journal


The June edition has these nuggets for us:

Warm-ups probably improve performance. Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research

Smokers inhale their own second-hand smoke. Journal of Environmental Health

A recent study found that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population.

I was going to go with "20% of sick leave is taken on a monday. But I thought I'd better check my facts so I found a study which surprisingly (and interestingly) showed.

Quote:
35% of sick leave is taken on a mondays, whereas only 3% is taken on Fridays!
We've all been there!


Quote:
Female workers took 24% more days off than male workers,
Ha! Well they make SUCH a fuss when they get a cold! Weaker sex and such. Can't hold it against them

Quote:
Thirteen of the 20 most popular days for sickness absence occurred in January - six of these between 2 and 9 January.
Bet its June in the bottom half of the world!

Sorry. Off topic but I thought i'd share.

Robert

But I still went and did it

or

Is that the one I thought you would benefit from the experience of following me after 20 years there to show you how private practice works ??

OH getting paid for not working ........

You are a very nice chap and a VERY good friend for offering (Thank You)

BUT

As I told you I'm too used to working alone and all that entails (including working ALL the time ill or not

That's life in PP which you will find out in due course

Cheers Buddy

Robert if PP is in the future I´ve just thought of a name which fits in more ways than one.

"Newtonian Podiatry" with logo `Putting the force back in your feet`.

So the Isaac bit fits and it will get under Dennis skin as a bonus.
