SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER ISSUE 2017
This month’s issue of The NSW Doctor is all about bad reviews of doctors, some ways you can protect your online space from harassers, and a profile on A/Prof Munjed Al Muderis and the vitriolic campaign waged against him by a former patient. We also cover doctors-turned tech entrepreneurs, a group set up to improve immigrants’ health literacy, and more.
