Much MRI literature assumes that the reader is conversant with the
specialised terms that have developed with the subject. For
beginners this is often not the case, and this false assumption may
hinder the reader's assimilation of information. The aim of this
glossary is to explain these terms in plain language without
assuming that the reader has a Ph.D. in physics!
Most postgraduate examinations now include radiographic
interpretation. This may be presented as a slide show of as a
film-viewing session. Radiographs and other imaging modalities are
also used ubiquitously in the viva' section of most such
examinations including those of the American Boards and
professional societies and universities worldwide. This series of
Clinical Film Viewing will assist candidates to prepare for this
process. Each book examines a particular system or technique
followed by profusely illustrated cases typical of those presented
in postgraduate examinations.
Witch Way Home? is the first book in The Witch, The Dagon and The
Angel Trilogy. The Scott family are on holiday on the Isle of Skye,
Scotland, when disaster strikes. Hurricane force winds destroy
their home and a tsunami sweeps the island. Dad, (Jimmy Scott),
leads his wife.Sienna, and two children, Josh and Sam, up to an
abandoned ancient fort, or broch, on the headland heckled all the
time by his mother-in-law, Mary. Jimmy is convinced that Mary ia a
witch but before he can confirm this he is plunged into the
supernatural world of fairies, elves, werewolves, dragons and a
particularly attractive talking rat. Is Jimmy in a coma or is he
really in Faerie land? Josh and Sam must help their Mum and Granny
survive whilst conditions worsen on their island and supernatural
forces start to leak into the normal world. Can the family save the
world fom total destruction?
"I was expecting another trip to the Scottish Isles and to the
Faerie realm. The Witch "trilogy" made this realm all so real. This
book however is so much more. Goddard delves into the realms of MR
James and Edgar Allen Po and in this reviewer's humble opinion is
as good as or better than both of those other masters of the horror
genre. This is a spine tingling disturbing and truly scary book. I
urge you to read this great book. Brilliant Gothic tale handled by
a true story telling master." - JJ Mann
Witch Armageddon? is the second book in The Witch, The Dragon and
The Angel Trilogy. Jimmy Scott is in bad trouble in New York and
Josh has joined a youth club that has some very strange members.
Once again the family have to save the world from total destruction
in this fast moving fantasy of witchcraft and supernatural
phenomena.
Is lying a sin? Is Theresa May a robot or a shape changing lizard?
Is there such a thing as an inalienable human right? What will
happen if Jacob Rees-Mogg does embrace his freedom and stand on his
own two feet? These questions and many more are addressed in Paul R
Goddards latest book, Fake News, or to give the book its full title
An Approximately True Analysis of Fake News. The book is a short
paperback packed full of scurrilous ideas and cartoons. It is
subtitled The Book of Lying and Propaganda due to the fact that
fake news has been with the human race ever since its inception.
This book explains why we lie, suggests ways to spot lies and
describes the history of propaganda and spin. It touches on
difficult subjects such as fakery in medicine, science, politics
and religion and is illustrated throughout by Goddards self-penned
cartoons. From the Foreword by Chris Beetles: This book is
worthless and subversive and deserves to be shredded. Resist
temptation to give it as a jolly present to your friends All right,
all right, have it your way enjoy this very funny book if you must,
read it three times a day after meals, but dont say I didnt warn
you when you feel a whole lot better.

Change is an exciting parable of magical realism. The story is a
fantasy set in Bristol and the South West of England and combines a
police search for missing people and modern day fairy tales. It
imagines a world in which the spirits of the rivers and seas could
fight back against us and our despoiling ways.
Who fired the bullet in the locked room? Who is the conductor on
the train? Why is Holmes lecturing about upholstery? Can a person
live on a diet of cheese and Mars bars? Why is the choir singing so
disturbingly well? What should you do with a killer rabbit? Explore
the possible and impossible worlds of Paul R Goddard in this
compendium of short stories of the unsuspecting. Suspend your
disbelief and let your imagination roam: from Sherlock Holmes to
Santa Claus, from Pernod the detective to Randulph the Leprechaun,
from the heroic Canadian troops in World War One to the fabled
pleasure dome of Xanadu, read on....
Cats that are both alive and dead, levitating shoes, gods of war,
gods of love and discarded gods. Allegorical tales of weird worlds
where the leaders are elected on the basis of reality shows and
worlds where carnivorous plants can mimic the appearance of a naked
human being. Welcome to the disturbing poetry of Paul R Goddard.
This anthology is an expanded version of the Number 1 worldwide
Amazon download e-book of the same title with many extra
illustrations and nine more poems.
The 2nd edition of PANDEMIC (Clinical Press 2021) updates the
history of plagues and provides extra chapters concentrating on the
origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, treatment, vaccination and the
effect of lockdowns. As one furloughed doctor said the first
edition sorted out my mind. We are very lucky to be living in the
21st century and comparison with the many plagues of the past puts
the Covid-19 pandemic in its place. The second edition continues
this cathartic exercise and puts into some order the origin, the
prevention and the treatment of the condition. Historical records
show that people who work with viruses are often prone to
accidental escapes from their laboratories like the one giving
origin to COVID-19. The lessons of history are heavily in favour of
the lab-leak theory compared with the now-discredited theory of
zoonotic origin. Interspersed with the serious history are true
personal anecdotes and a few ridiculous cartoons. The author points
out: Laughing at the things we fear is one of the best ways of
putting those fears into perspective.
Witch Schism & Chaos? is the third and final book in The Witch,
The Dragon and The Angel Trilogy. A Lady is being held captive. A
dozen different people and beings seeom to think that they are each
Jimmy Scott. Which one is the genuine item and will the right one
win through to free the captive? Meanwhile something is going very
wrong in Downing Street..... Can the Scotts save the world for the
third time?
Paul R Goddard, a retired consultant radiologist, has taken a
Swift-like move and penned a slim satirical cartoon book. A former
President of various medical societies including the Radiology
Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, the Bristol Medico
Chirurgical Society and the MRRA (UK), Professor Goddard is no
stranger to controversy. His witty cartoons will cause much
merriment amongst the workers in the National Elf Service, apart,
perhaps, from some of the less discerning management and political
acolytes (the more discerning will undoubtedly also enjoy the
book!). There is an Elf Service in Cloud Cuckoo Land, a place that
is sometimes known as Faerie and Elfdom. It is strange how the
National Elf Service seems to mirror our own wonderful NHS but is
peculiarly different.....in our system the patients are not cranked
in on a giant conveyor belt such that a new patient arrives even as
the last is leaving the surgery....and there is no huge physical
gulf between the managers and the clinical staff as management try
to pull the doctors over the cliff edge onto the rocks of despair!
(Are you sure? ed.) In Faerie (Cloud Cuckoo Land?) the Right
Horrible Jellybean Shunt is in charge...so different from our own
world but eerily similar. He seems to think that the junior dwarves
(doctors?) can work ten days a week. To find out what happens you
will have to either purchase the book or steal one from some
unsuspecting NHS worker who has placed his copy within easy reach.
This book will make a great present for anyone who works in the
health services... perhaps as a birthday or Christmas gift for a
real worker or as a retirement present for a higher management
acolyte?
