Have we all got enough to worry about when we stagger through the doors of the doctor's surgery? What with swine flu felling us like flies, not to mention all the hacking coughs and searing cystitis raging in our ranks. But no, it seems that posting yourself by the phone at the dot of 8am, pleading with a brick-built receptionist and staggering half demented into the waiting room is not enough.
We have to consider our carbon footprint. That's right. They want to lecture us about climate change while refusing the antibiotics. The Climate and Health Council thinks doctor's surgeries are just the place to remind us all of our duty to the planet. "Climate change presents; " a very real and present danger," to our health, says Andy Burnham, Heath Secretary. No, he does. Crackpot ideas like this are just the thing to send us all gently bonkers. Lead on Andy, we're right behind you...
