There's loads in the news this month as we whizz through the big medical journals learning that most research findings are in fact false, and insisting on gown and gloves in ICU reduces the number of room entries, just not the spread of resistant organisms. Bex dodges her rant and instead delivers a new feature 'Rebecca's Rhyme', kicking off our quarterly poetry corner. Mark has an in depth look at the recent Cochrane perioperative fluid meta-analysis and we attempt to make sense of the pretty complex statistical analysis. Links to resources in this month's mega notes. It's Frank's turn to take the reigns of BorB for a fluid themed contest with a shocking result.
