Someone’s tongue was firmly in their cheek when they wrote this satirical piece about Tony Blair’s medical records being leaked. We particularly liked:

Blair, it transpires, has suffered from a litany of embarrassing medical complaints only very reluctantly discussed with his doctor in strictest confidence, and which look set to keep the tabloids titillated for months on end. Accounts of his intimate conversations with his GP, all his lab test results, his “lifestyle rating” for entitlement to further treatment, and even his doctor’s personal opinions of his patient, are now available, not just for 250,000 authorised staff and their hangers-on to enjoy, but the public at large.

Of greatest public concern is the startling news that Blair has had a series of referrals to the Bootle Acute Psychiatric Unit, exhibiting symptoms of paranoia, delusions of grandeur, sociopathic tendencies, obsessive-compulsive disorder triggered by the word “surveillance”, and psychologically-induced deafness and blindness whenever the words “extraordinary” and “rendition” occur in the same sentence.

As with all good satire, there’s a grain of truth in this [emphasis added].
