Sadly and tragically, Dud left us on 28th January 2016 whilst undergoing emergency heart surgery. However, I (that is Sarah, his wife) have decided to keep the blog (and his memory) alive. I will leave his ‘contents intro’ exactly as he wrote it, but I will update it as I add in new blogs myself.

Original Contents from Dr Dud
Many thanks for following my blog. If are receiving the blog through the email it may be coming out with a rather bland white background and, in some cases, you have to click in a box for the pictures. To avoid this, when you get notification of the blog through the email, your best bet is to simply click on drdudsdicta.com either as a separate link on an email or in Google – then you get the pretty blue background and should have no problem with the pictures.
For those of you just picking up the odd post, here is my contents list. If you want to see any post in particular, just click on the the title below, or if you are looking for something specific, click on a likely Categories link on the right.
