Medical Listening
DO admire the uncompromising honesty of the BBC when it comes to titles. Dead Men’s Bells, the Sunday morning feature from 2YA, was qualified in The Listener and over the air by its sub-title-‘An Account of the Life and Work of W. Withering," so that listeners hoping for a bit of healthy horror had no real beef when it turned out to be an account of the early use
of digitalis in the treatment of dropsy. Actually, I find these BBC medical programmes good listening, any excess of medical technicality being speedily neutralised by an application of local colour, And one is left at the end with the comfortable knowledge that the forces of enlightenment always triumph.
