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.
But not necessarily so. Who could forget the obscenenity of seeing
Serbian leader Radavan Karadic (Poet/politician/medic) on TV News striding
around the hills spouting his poetry whilst he looked down on the
population he was violating.
TS Eliot's brilliant poetry is based primarily on his penetrating
insight into the frailty of human nature. The Love Song of J. Alfred
Prufrock reflects Eliot's insight into our timidity, while The Wasteland
and The Hollow Men reflect Eliot's insight into our shallowness. With the
skill of a psychoanalyst, Eliot penetrates our facade and exposes our
fragile ego, but offers sympathy and support. Poetry is the universal
language of truth, unity, and peace.
