I'm Dr Catriona Walsh. I trained in medicine at Cambridge and worked as a consultant paediatrician, which included being taught how to take consent properly, and reading the GMC's Duties of a Doctor rather more closely than most patients ever get to. I don't practise medicine now, and I'm not your doctor, so nothing here is medical advice. I built this because I once walked into an MRI department and was handed a contrast I'd never researched, by no one who stopped to talk me through one of the biggest decisions of my life. I'd rather you got the conversation I didn't.
