Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users
to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response
is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual
response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the
browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published
online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed.
Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles.
The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being
wilfully misrepresented as published articles or when it is brought to our
attention that a response spreads misinformation.
From March 2022, the word limit for rapid responses will be 600 words not
including references and author details. We will no longer post responses
that exceed this limit.
The word limit for letters selected from posted responses remains 300 words.
The ‘official investigation’ into the death of Harold Shipman
suggests that if he had an inclination, predisposition or tendency to
suicide, he had only one of them. His singular tendency was the one which
killed him; the others he very singularly kept to himself. However, Harold
Shipman’s treatment of others before he died was a proven tendency in the
plural.
The headline to this story displays a tendency to sloppy editing
which may not be entirely unique.
Competing interests:
prison medical officer who assesses suicidal tendency and occasionally attends a suicide.
