Great public support on Lewisham High St outside @LG_NHS for our picket #ConsultantsStrike @BMA_Consultants
Dr John O'Donohue retweeted
I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow?
Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already.
Why? 🧵 👇

New question I’ll be asking all my new patients, at the end of the history-taking. From tomorrow.
‘Is there anything else important I need to know about you?’

Mastodon appears to be full of thoughtful individuals engaging in substantive conversations — which is why I'll be staying on Twitter for the foreseeable future.

MP pay 2010 £65k
MP pay 2022 £84.1k
28% rise & real terms rise of over £4k
same period nurses pay down 8% against inflation with real terms pay cut of £3k
RT if you think MPs telling nurses they don’t deserve a rise are taking the piss

This review of SIBO is good for all the fans and skeptics alike. My takeaway was that SIBO testing is grossly overused, evidence quality for symptom association is very low. Really, we are still in exploration phase of this disorder #GITwitter #medEd

Great to hear about the incorporation of #lynchsyndrome surveillance in to the National #Bowelcancer Screening Programme from April 2023.
Better and more robust care for our #lynch patients. @kevinjmonahan

Great case! Not my fav 😂 what I do:
✅Use clear cap + Peds scope (inc manuev)
✅Go into TI
✅Dynamic lift from TI portion to let polyp get into colon
✅I like cold EMR in this case because can take extra margins from ileal end (dont have to worry about closing)
✅Recent case👇

As we move to the next stage of the COVID response, it is essential we change behaviour slowly and steadily.
These papers give some of the data which show why going slowly will reduce the risk to all.
