November Focus

[摘要] David Carvel has written to comment on the high proportion of papers from overseas in September's BJGP (page 883). This month there is only one (or two, depending on how you count the Republic of Ireland) — an interesting study from Denmark on delay in diagnosis of lung cancer that echoes the finding in another paper that we published recently, that negative chest X-rays don't rule out the diagnosis (page 863). However, the rest is from the British Isles: a comparison of communication between white or South Asian patients and their doctors (page 869), with the non-English speakers finishing up with more questioning and less information.
