Read today that death from heart disease has halved in the last 10 years. Maybe Vinnie Jones and complicated hospital procedures have helped somewhat, but I can't help thinking that the unsung heroes are in primary care, nagging on about high blood pressure, convincing people to take chemicals when they don't actually feel ill, sending people for blood tests etc

Long live the hypertensives.
