If you think that a woman being asked if she’s in the right toilet is worse than a 13 year-old girl having to share toilets and changing rooms with men, then you’re out of your mind.

Argentina have been given the green light by the White House FIFA task force to display their Falklands banner again if they win the World Cup on Sunday 🚨 The head of the task force Andrew Giuliani believes the Argentina players are allowed to express their opinions.

@DpdUkOfficial_ well I am truly fed up with your poor quality service - especially when a driver claims to have tried but was unable to deliver, and takes a photo of part of a package with no details or surrounding. 4 adults in the house and no attempted delivery on 3ring cameras

I turn phone customer service to be told that he will be told by the depot to return. Why do I not expect delivery by someone who so clearly is a liar and a fraud

Can anyone see this post…. I seem unable to see new posts and when I try to open a thread it says there is a problem

@EE why do EE want to do a credit check before giving a renewal quote, something that may show on credit file? I wanted a quote not to get a contract (will be leaving now). Incidentally when my wife phoned about hers they didn’t inform her of this yet asked all questions 1/2

If they did a credit check without informing her that is a breach of law so there may be regulatory follow up if anything shows up 2/2

A new @gerisoc poster - “Sexual dimorphism in dancing at #BGSconf “ 16 females and 4 males. Conclusion this study requires repeating with funding for multiple episodes of dancing by @gerisoc members, with and without alcohols provided?

NC: Suppose you still had say a VP dining room. And someone tried to come in. It would be fine to say "sorry you can't come in, this is VPs only". Asking hypothetically. AL We don't really do that anymore NC: Parking spaces then? AL Yes we have those

So a patient who has been “cared for” by them sees the post and is mortified and decides to go back due to embarrassment, knowing they are mocking her and dies because diagnosis and treatment missed/delayed?
Replying to @ClaudetteGGibs1
I’m sorry, but if people can’t joke about normal life experiences, and the things healthcare workers deal with, then everyonbody needs to get over themselves. They were just having fun. Nobody was mentioned by name. Who is hurt over this? Patients leave far worse gifts for staff all the time! 💩🤮

@A_MacLullich I think we both agree that use of language is extremely important both in medicine generally but also in delirium management. However, I do feel that it’s no surprise that it is difficult to get people to write delirium in the notes rather than acute confusion…

Curriculum for geriatric medicine talks of delirium gets internal medicine. Curriculum has acute confusion as the important presentation rather than delirium. Should we not be challenging?@JRCPTB on this.

“Why are you taking all that rope?” “We are climbing down a ravine” See you tonight Another strange thing is that kids would need to change bike tires once a year because they would wear out and kids knew how to change them.
