From 1994 to 2023, Professor Drife wrote an entertaining column in the journal of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. His sole aim was to amuse colleagues - young and old, female and male - working in a stressful and fast-changing specialty. Using wit, observation of life inside and outside medicine, and a global perspective, he helped them to relax, reflect and sometimes laugh out loud.
