Hi THomas Thanks. Not worried. Was aware of that one paper, with a small number and was wondering if there was any more evidence. When I was in the UK I don't recall it being a huge issue (OK, not in A+E there for quite some years) as it is here. My thoughts being that the evidence seems slim- for something that we all do. Not that it is likely to do much harm though.
