🎉 Lucky number 7! 🎉
Two exciting updates:
Derriford Hospital @UHP_NHS our 7th site to open! Huge thanks to Dr. Cramp and the team for all their hard work! Welcome😀
Royal Free Hospital has just recruited their 7th patient, bringing our total participants in the trial to 12!👍
FBI comment on the BBC regarding the capture of a potential DT assassin :
"We had this place surrounded with helicopters and dogged within minutes," he said.
I wonder if they have seen the Peter Kay video…
If I had been the health minister I would have gone on air and said”this is an expensive drug, with overall questionable cost benefit. If I approve it, you tell me what I should then STOP funding? Hernia repairs? Cataract procedures? How about bowel cancer screening “
Just extraordinary lack of nuanced discussion about NICE not approving a drug. Why is no one coming out and explaining that we are not funding some of the most basic elements of public health and that the back door of hospitals is effectively closed
Five years in prison. Five years for blocking the M25 for Just Stop Oil protester- but a motorist can mow down a cyclist and get penalty points, or a fine, or an imprisonment- but never 5 years. No wonder prison’s are full. I do not think that is proportionate justice
Trump will be seen as “strong”, “bulletproof” and “ chosen by God”. Biden seen as “old”, “mentally frail”, “tired”.
Looks like we are going to be heading towards another nightmare whereby a recently convicted felon is the President of the most powerful country in the world….
Mass shooting in US= major intervention of “ thoughts and prayers”
Perhaps any chance now of serious control of guns? I’m guessing unlikely
Was the junior doctor’s strike timed so that the youngsters could attend Glastonbury -and have time for a leisurely trip home?
In my neighbourhood it appears that the louder you shout at the TV, the greater the patriot you are.
Amazing double standards in public life- 2 MPs accused of illegal betting. One “apologises”. Policeman accused of the same- is ARRESTED, suspended and charged.
For anyone struggling with the new fatty liver nomenclature as well as the various treatment options- I give you this!!

Often over 100pages! A summary front page has been on a wait list for approval from NCL for nearly 2yrs!
Prepping clinic for next week. Electronic GP referral letter. 46 pages. Actual relevant bit page 26. We talk about the digitisation of the nhs improving efficiency- another classic example where that is clearly not the case. Very fixable- have raised this before-but not fixed
Day 3 EASL reflections
I think I’m getting fatty liver
Christophe Bureau is the rock-star of the TIPS world
Vascular liver disease is an interesting and a clinical problem.
VALDIG is a publication machine
I’m trying to work a certain dried potato substitute into a MASH talk!
