So @ingridoliver100 is trying to recall the name of a band I had a conversation about last night. So far her attempts have been... Wet Tongue Hot Machine Death Ratio You wouldn't guess the actual answer from any of these, but they are all amazing names for a new band.

I’m on call tonight. We’re seeing quite a number of prev. healthy people crushingly sick with #sepsis with a Streptococcal pneumonia on a background of ‘flu-like illness or ‘flu itself. PLEASE know the symptoms and if you have one with infection symptoms go STRAIGHT to A&E!!!

The nurse who looked after my dad for 9 days as he slowly succumbed to COVID started work at 7am the day he passed away. She didn’t eat or drink till 4pm. She was an absolute saving grace to us. She is called Pippa. She is an angel on earth! PAY THEM MORE! 💙
NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care. Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate. Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

I’m not ashamed to say that I spent 2 hours in tears at work yesterday. I’d had enough of being shouted at despite doing my absolute best for my patients. I’m exhausted. The system is broken. My team are broken. And now I’m planning how to pay for Christmas AND new school shoes

Also remembering student nurse shifts where the break room was at Covid capacity (2 people) during lockdown so I sat and had my packed lunch on the floor in a corridor because there was nowhere else to go. #NurseTwitter

Two years ago to my brother in law died on ICU of covid. The family sat in separate cars parked 2m away from each other on the hospital car park because that’s as close as we could get to him to say our goodbyes. But Boris, Richie, Carrie & their mates slipped down a chilled one
We're proud to announce Cannock Chase Hospital has become one of the first in the region to perform a same-day hip replacement.Congratulations to Mr Khaldoun Bitar, Consultant Surgeon, Dr Dikshika Mathur, Consultant Anaesthetist and patient John Greybanks. bit.ly/36upEsT

Government scraps advice on working from home. No news yet on drinking at work.

Dear @BorisJohnson and Co, this is what’s meant by ‘leading by example’.

There are no ITU beds in the valleys. So you might be 23 and invincible if you get COVID but what if you crash your car? Or a friend takes an overdose or a parent needs emergency surgery? Guess what! No beds for you either. And THAT’S how this affects everyone. Rant over.
