This three minutes and twelve second clip of GB News getting absolutely owned on Brexit is one of the best things I’ve seen on this site in a while.

Never has this been truer. Labour needs to step up, wake up, show up, and get us back on the path to EU membership, in whatever form can be agreed. Blair was right then and is right now. Come on, sort yourselves out. Your economic growth doesn’t exist.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I’ve just been told by one of my ANPs who was told by a geriatrician that you can substitute Lindt 70% dark chocolate for SandoK 😳 thought she was joking but a bit of googling reveals c3 bars a day would indeed have approx same mmol of K+ as 2 Sando K BD 🤔 anyone tried it?!

I was a doctor. I lived and breathed medicine. Then burnout & mental illness happened. Upset & angry, I left medicine. If you care about the #NHS, And you plan to vote in the #GeneralElection You NEED to know these 3 things.. 🧵

A reminder - someone with sickle cell disease cannot be diagnosed with diabetes using glycated haemoglobin or HbA1c. 🧵 The ‘A’ in HbA1c denotes HbA and people with sickle cell disease don’t make HbA they only make HbS. Now if you send an HbA1c sample to the lab anyway you may or may not get a result back…

The battle with these ward curtains is endless and real How much time is wasted on a round struggling to close these to give the patient a modicum of privacy when you do the consultation

This is literally why #NHSfunding for rehabilitation after any sort of critical illness cannot be an after thought. Organ support, drugs & acute care saves lives - access to rehab saves people. Thanks for sharing your journey #rehablegend Source: TikTok @ tinabridge

The Rwandan foreign minister referred to the asylum seekers as criminals. This is not going to end well.

On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question Dr Tom Dolphin was not on strike on the date of the shift in question but was simply covering a shift as a consultant for junior doctors who were on strike on 11th August 2023. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Dr Dolphin for any distress upset caused. I will also like to add that I understand that Dr Dolphin actually donated his pay for the covered shift which I believe was £1870 to the BMA strike fund and whilst I do not agree with the strikes I want to go on the record to say that I think it is a very unselfish act on the part of Dr Dolphin to put his money into something he strongly believes in. I will make the same contribution to compensate the upset I may have caused Dr Dolphin. Please Repost.

I had to watch this 3 times to be fully clear on what I’d just listened to Today’s evidence at the Covid Inquiry effectively lays the blame for 25,000 additional Covid deaths to at least a significant degree at the feet of Boris Johnson Horrifying
