Similarly, for general practitioners, if we're a GP, like you are up in the Tiwi Islands, and you have a kid come in who's very unwell with bronchiolitis and you're not giving them any drugs, then maybe some of the people might scratch their heads and say, 'Oh, I don't know if this fellow knows what he's doing.' And one of the difficulties for parents is when they see their child so unwell with bronchiolitis and the doctor's not really doing anything, not using any drugs, it be quite confronting for them. But this all comes from clinical trials, so it's all very much knowledge rather than guesswork. We had a great time talking to our paediatric experts about this, and I can only say there was a bit of discussion from some of the people who look after older people, scratching their heads about all these sorts of things.

Hardwired very deep down inside our primitive brain. I mean, it's a natural thing that we do automatically. It is a curious thing that we are so worried about breathing. We have to do it all the time, from our very first breath to our last, hopefully a long time later, and if anything goes wrong, we've just a minute or two to do something about it. Respiration, in some ways respiration is the human animal's greatest weakness.
