Alexander Stubb - President of Finland gave a very empassioned speech about Ukraine which I think we should all listen to.

“Single fault at Thames Water works could imperil London’s supply.” So decrepit has Thames Water’s leaky London infrastructure become that contingency plans have being drawn up involving “Mass evacuations, with the military on standby”, I sh*t you not. ft.com/content/97e41a…

At ~2am this morning, I was on the phone to a cardiology registrar. They gave expert advice about some lifesaving interventions. That expertise is invaluable. It’s certainly not worth 21% less than it once was. A good deal can be done to restore value, if govt wanted to do it.

“We’re asking to get round the table to talk about a realistic, sustainable and credible offer that works for doctors and also, crucially, works for patients.” Our chair @fletchjack speaks to @TimesRadio this morning



The battle should not be with a digital or with numbers. It should be with patients’ ill health. Exhausting doctors and pharmacists and others energy/goodwill on these is inefficient.

GP surgery was a battle trench of digital misery today. Every person trying to fight the “book online” by coming in being turned away. Pharmacy similar - no order without NHS app. This all feels a bit brutal and Kafkaesque 😞



I’ve tried with hrv and seems has no correlation with my symptoms or available reserve. Still, watching this space with interest.

This presentation brought to you by a productive combination of the Dead Kennedys and insomnia. ☺️ x.com/sunsopeningban…

Oh this. This is being a GP

I have obtained the patient’s permission to share his story below… I’ve chosen to post it now, years later, as I feel it highlights the danger of taskification of medicine & how detrimental it can be for patients Some details changed for further anonymity 🧵 1/n

People understand if their hairdresser, nail technician, dentist or dog groomer hasn’t got capacity to see them that day. GPs don’t have endless capacity, and we can’t build any more with the inadequate funding we have been given. That’s the reality.

General practice in Northern Ireland is in crisis. GPs are now taking collective action - we need an improved offer from the government that increases our core funding to avert a total crisis #GPsAreOnYourSide

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen. #GazaGenocide #WarCrimes


We are in no way ready for AI to read our notes and make decisions. Garbage in, garbage out. Dangerous.

A colleague of mine, an ID physician, dropped by today to say goodbye. He is leaving medicine. I asked him, half jokingly, 'you don't want to help people anymore?'. His answer was serious: 'I learned during the pandemic that people don't want to be helped.'


Horribly sad. Bereaved son blamed by anti-vax family for her death. Bizarro land.

🧵 So my relative that called me a "mental patient" for masking, who was subsequently hospitalized for "viral pneumonia", has now passed away. In the group family email that delivered the news, they're now blaming "scared people like jason who got the jab"

The notion that your mindset or lifestyle is in some way to blame for your physical illness is just victim blaming.


Local paper picked through GP satisfaction surveys. article abt “best” & “worst” receptionists. Utterly unfair. Their willingness & ability to help reflects stresses & leadership in the practice. employment of new GPs is throttled by @wesstreeting surgeries really struggling

Sitting here on a sunny Saturday clearing my lab results. But unlike most GPs, I don't mind. As a private GP, my time is being remunerated appropriately, all the tests were requested by me, and I know all my patients well enough to be able to interpret the results easily.

At my latest stop in USA I’ve been working with a lovely world renowned surgeon who took a kind interest in my life & work, we spoke a lot I explained it’s been a challenge to get where I am now inc a financial one I asked & he told me his PAs salary which is 10 TIMES my salary

Surgical rota hours are family unfriendly making it incredibly difficult for parents to finish training ‘Oh just get a nanny’ 😶
