I should mention that I was watching this sat on my mattress, which was on the floor, eating toast, in my underpants, like a proper student bachelor. The disparity was striking. I’ve never been so embarrassed, I prayed that nobody I knew had seen it, and it’s one of the many reasons why I still doggedly avoid being described as “Dr Ben Goldacre”. There’s just no need.”

From the essay Methadone and Heroin: An Exercise in Medical Scepticism, by “Dr Ben Goldacre”.
