All rapid responses
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.
Dear Doctors:
Kindly send clinical photographs in JPG format and x-rays of patients
requiring treatment overseas. I will print these pictures and send them
to the newspaper in Saskatoon and see if we can get a response from
orthopaedic and other specialists who would like to volunteer to treat
these patients. Sincerely, Dr. Shibli

Please refer to the BMJ volume 319 14th August 1999.
Is it not necessary for surgeons to wear mask when they operate?
Your photo shows surgeons operating with no caps and masks. Is it allowed
in modern surgery?
With best regards
Yours Sincerely
Prof B Ramamurthi
