		Hammond says that getting serious about an issue and bringing it into the public domain brings "a lot of guilt and reservations." Earlier this year he went public about the "unbearable" conditions at the Bristol sexual health clinic where he works.
		Hammond does admit to nearly killing one when as a junior doctor he confused potassium with a saline drip because it came in an identical bottle.
		Hammond wanted to be a general practitioner while he was training but his sideline in stand up comedy, writing, and a few years lecturing in communication skills mean he has never done full time doctoring.

	Trust me, I'm a doctor - [Sunday Herald]
		FOR all his fresh-faced Milky-Bar-kid blondness, Dr Phil Hammond is a desperately driven man. He confesses, more than once, to feeling guilty Ð about the lives he has failed to save, the bad practice he has exposed, even the fact that he once resorted to private health care.
		Hammond has been satirising the NHS since the late Eighties, when he was a junior doctor and outraged at the 120-hour working weeks he and his peers were forced to endure.
		Hammond rails against the culture of secrecy that means the performance of individual surgeons cannot be compared; he is scathing of self-serving doctors who would rather operate dangerously than hand over work they are not qualified to do; and he castigates the cover-ups that still take place when things goes wrong.

	Phil Ochs remembered (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Phil had heard the story of Kitty Genovese, the New York woman who had screamed and pleaded for life while her neighbors watched in the shadows as she was brutally raped and murdered.
		Phil's performance--throughout which he was battling terror and nausea--included the aforementioned "The Power and the Glory," as well as "The Ballad of Medgar Evers" and "Talking Birmingham Jam." An album of the festival was released the following year and featured two of Phil's songs.
		As Phil Ochs put it, the Yippies "wanted to be able to set out fantasies in the street to communicate their feelings to the public." A number of memorable slogans were coined, mainly as a way of publicizing the upcoming event.

		Jo Caulfield was the comedian enlisted with warming us up before the main event - and as I slowly defrosted from the wind chill outside I noted the irony of her task.
		She was surprisingly funny, and we were all well and truly broken in when the panellists (Ian Hislop, Paul Merton, Sara Cox and Phil Hammond) entered to applause.
		Phil seemed genuinely impressed with Boris as a politician - "a breath of fresh air" was just one of the compliments he bestowed on the big Bozza.

	The Edinburgh festival 2002 -- Reviews -- Comedy -- (D) -- 4 out of 38
		Reduced from an 89 minute touring version (and to it's credit, boy does the wealth of material show it!) this is essentially Phil Hammond's whistle stop tour of the NHS and some of it's more bizarre idiosyncrasies.
		Since Dr Hammond spends a good deal of his time still working for our troubled medical system he has the view of a slightly bemused "insider looking in" if you will.
		Only there's one major problem with that since Dr Phil seems to be as honest, up-front and downright charming as you could wish and it's very tempting to disobey and trust him completely.

	Musings from Middle England: February 2005
		If you missed Channel Four's The New Ten Commandments it was only worth watching for a story from the doctor and comedian Phil Hammond.
		I suspect he was told to by a producer in his earpiece because Channel 4 had sold the show in the trails on the basis that no language was off-limits but halfway through the show nobody had said so much as 'Damn'.
		In a strange piece of synchronicity 'motherfucker' was what I had just shouted at the said presenter, a little-known comedian who, in Bernard Manning's delightful phrase, was about as funny as woodworm in a cripple's crutch.
