A top doctor has admitted her part in hoodwinking a leading medical journal after inventing a medical condition called "cello scrotum".
Elaine Murphy - now Baroness Murphy - dreamt up the painful complaint in the 1970s, sending a report to the British Medical Journal.
Very good. There's an unfortunate turn of phrase though:
A spokesman for the BMJ said that, 34 years on, no-one faced the sack for failing to spot the implausible condition.
