‘It’s a big loss’: what happens when a beautiful village loses its bus route? Mousehole in Cornwall once had a butcher, post office and general store. Now it doesn’t even have an ATM – and one of its crucial bus services has been cut. Can residents save this vital resource?

No one is ever the butt of Bob Mortimer’s jokes. I like that about him.

I suspect many users of ambient scribes would read my blog and not recognise the experience I had. My hunch is that certain cognitive characteristics and mental models of practicing medicine might be associated with issues I described.

I’m a doctor and the same issue for health literacy. You need to be able to read and write and understand basic ideas of cause and effect, some concept of risk, and how to discriminate conjecture and evidence based advice. If you can't read very well that's all unrealistic.
