Quite upset watching this. Doctors cannot allow their personal beliefs to influence their practice. So much here I take objection to. I wonder if @DrsforChoice_UK have seen this?
My 8 year old: ‘why is it called an Adam’s Apple? Is it named after the world famous author Adam Kay?’ @amateuradam

Thought you might like this @Alistair_King
When one of my friends was on a GP placement in med school (early 2000s) he asked the GP how Wakefield's "work" affected MMR uptake and measles in children.
The GP put down his tea. Then bellowed "ANDREW WAKEFIELD IS A FUCKING CUNT"
Which sums it up really.

@RoyalMailHelp I paid £2.50 for an item that supposedly had incorrect postage and booked redelivery, however no item arrived. The wait time to speak to someone on the phone was 50 minutes. Can you help?

Fascinating paper. And goes some way to explaining why I seem to have collected so many autistic patients!

Great day 👍
It's a full house at our WEC today.
60 clinicians from across Enfield, Barnet, Haringey, Islington and Camden came together to talk about the menopause at the NCL menopause conference.
Attendees included GPs, gynaecologists, endocrinologists & more.

ALT It is a picture of a room at the Whittington Education Centre. Clinicians are seated, listening to a talk from GPs in Highgate.
Yes, this was how I was trained. If you haven’t figured it out by the third visit you probably need a specialist opinion.
When I started as a GP Partner (long-time ago) my Senior Partner always used to say ‘3 strikes and you are in’ -
meaning if you have 3 contacts with the Practice in a short time & not improving - then consider admission
This is always at the back of my mind & the advice has come in very useful, on numerous occasions

Have the most horrible cough and feel dreadful. 2 Covid tests negative. There must be some really nasty viruses circulating. This has wiped me out.

Made this tonight - really yummy. Not home grown courgettes but @Riverford ones are always tasty. Such an easy and satisfying recipe @UrvashiRoe
We tried another delicious new recipe tonight... @UrvashiRoe's Courgette & mint curry... so quick & tasty... ideal for anyone with a glut of #HomeGrown #Courgettes... urvashiroe.com/2018/09/01/co…
I fully support the #ConsultantsStrike in solidarity with my colleagues. My dad was a tube driver and no stranger to strikes. In defence of claims he was over paid he would say ‘I am not paid for what I do but for what I know’. This can also be applied to NHS consultants.

I’d never heard of her but I’m definitely going to give her a listen now! Absolutely despicable treatment, this doesn’t seem to happen to the men so much does it 🤬
Solidarity from everyone at Left Field with Billy No Mates who was so badly abused online after her @glastonbury set was posted on @BBC6Music that she asked them to take the clip down. She played a set for us last year and was brilliant. You’ll always have place here Tor
Absolutely appalling behaviour by south bank centre. Can’t say I’m surprised as I also had a bad experience there (not related to my gender but because of disability)
I was just on my way back from the loos in the south bank centre & I passed a woman with short hair on her way down. Security guard started yelling at her questioning her gender. She yelled back then continued.

I have major issues with the whole concept of BPD and can’t think of a single patient I’ve seen in the past 10 years for whom the label genuinely fits.
