When doctors strike again in two weeks, please remember that Rishi Sunak could end the dispute right now.

But he chooses not to.

Doctors just want the same pay they got in 2010. Is that really too much to ask?

Please RT if you remain behind them.

This is so true.

But please RT if you’re not prepared to let the NHS go without a fight.

A lady who is on her final journey, unable to swallow, asked for a whisky. Oral care is important but so is comfort that can be provided by moistening the mouth with a favourite flavour. Her smile said it all ❤️🥃

What a great day to be a lettuce

This is the end of the argument.

Ironically, it is the absurd GB News having to endure this masterclass in simply articulated, balanced, fact-based, expertise.

If you believe any other version of events, good luck tying your shoelaces this morning.

Children with measles can develop encephalitis (brain inflammation). Of these some die, others have neurological disability. Mumps causes viral meningitis in children. Rubella in pregnancy is dangerous for babies.

All are preventable with MMR vaccine.

🎶 And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen? 🎶

Interesting in both Drakeford and Sturgeon statements tonight, they hint at tightening restrictions further, on top of accelerating their booster programmes too

My ICU is full of covid. Again. This time it’s different though. Full of unvaccinated people. I cannot say this strongly enough. PLEASE get vaccinated.

Many thanks to the Braemar Chocolate shop for the donation this morning. They donate 50p for every one of their Mountain bars sold, £165 was for the first 4 months of the shop opening, so if in Braemar, pop in and treat yourself! 🍫

Word of the day is ‘spuddle’ (17th century): to work ineffectively; to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing.
