To the Editor: 9/15 was disaster day at the MJA.1 Not only was the Editor guilty of printing perseveration, but his “Box” seems to have been transmogrified from . . . “(the) socially cohesive principles underpinning Australia’s healthcare” to an invitation to “expose” the readers of the Christmas journal to some “witty prose”.
Perhaps the “healthcare dialogue” has indeed been reduced to rhyming couplets, possibly accompanied by the health ministers fiddling while the rest of us burn?
