Mass homeopathic overdose - none dead!

Setting off to Derby on a 10.23 train to deliver an assessment workshop has prompted me to declare my admiration for all those who took part in Saturday's mass homeopathic overdose (at 10.23am: various locations around the country). Or not as it happens, since nobody succeeded in taking their own lives despite hundreds of people downing entire packets of homeopathic pills.

Hopefully the 10:23 campaign has succeeded in raising awareness (a form of education, just by another means?) of the inefficacy of homeopathic medicine, and the double-standards of leading pharmacists who happily stock them while admitting that they don't work.
