Dear Medical Observer reader,

This week sees the last edition of the Medical Observer opinion newsletter.

Over the past 10 years, doctors from across the medical profession have written for us on virtually every topic — from the complexities of the doctor–patient relationship to why the fax machine survives in a world where we’ve spent $2 billion on My Health Record.

They have also shared their deeply personal stories, such as bullying, family loss, fallibility and their experiences as the patient with the very illnesses they manage in their professional lives.
