This week we have a treat:
A guest editor, the highly skilled and talented Dr Mira Harrison from New Zealand. A UK-trained obstetrician and gynaecologist, Mira has worked in pharmacovigilance (drug safety, in layman’s terms) and was the first elected female president of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance. Not only is Mira a research doctor, she is a writer who uses fiction to examine the issues she deals with every day – disease, its effects on mind and body and the care givers who confront it.
