Best of the BMJ Christmas edition
|
|
|
|
It also wouldn't be Christmas without the British Medical Journal's festive issue, where research papers are more light-hearted in theme, but no less rigorously peer reviewed! Here are some of our highlights...
|
|
|
• Ham for the holidays - a taste test for expensive jamon highlights the importance of asking the right research question.
|
|
|
• Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma (versus an empty backpack) - a tongue-in-cheek look at the pitfalls of randomized controlled trials.
|
|
|
• Sharing an act of kindness - sometimes the smallest acts of kindness and compassion can make the biggest difference.
