Thanks to everybody that has offered to purchase and send us a BNF.  We appreciate your thoughts.  However, I think that this means that I need to further clarify my request…

The great BNF is the Bible of British trained doctors and when you are in the system, you have a copy in every bag, one in the glove box, several older editions lying around at home and even one in the toilet.  And they are all free (the way socialised medicine is “free!”). Each new edition of the BNF comes out every 6 months and has a lifetime, as it travels through the social system, starting with a ward or a doctor and passing down the hierarchy of various health professions.  My sister (an audiologist) used to come to visit me just to rifle through my book cases for old copies of the BNF.

So as you can see, you are either the type of person who does not have a BNF in their life (This is not who we are looking for) or you are surrounded by them because of your involvement with the system (this is who we are looking for).  There is no need for somebody to purchase a copy for us…this is an exercise in prolonged recycling… We are asking for the people who are “in the system” and have lots of copies everywhere to send us one.  And it does not have to be the latest edition…just better than 5 years old, which is what we have…though you will be acting cheeky sending us one that is four years old!! ;P
