Hi friendlies! Just a lil reminder that as of next Friday I’ll be out of the studio for two weeks as I’m going to New Orleans! All open orders will be closed before I go so if you were hoping to grab something now is the time to do it!

Nearing time for a naming contest for our newest avocado. Put on your thinking caps.

NATIONAL TV BABY!! Delighted to say I will be live on BBC BREAKFAST on Monday morning. A surreal feeling receiving that phone call yesterday, very grateful to be able to spread the word of mental health and the challenge on national tv 🙏❤️

Into Aviemore ❤️

Since I was a kid, my family used to take me to Aviemore almost every year to see the scenery and stay in the chalets. Today I can say I’ve ran to Aviemore.

25KM done this morning, bit less than the average miles over the next week but I want the last day to be a marathon so a shorter day than normal.

28th of may, I complete this but more importantly we do this. For mental health

Day: 51
Day KM: 24.65 (15 miles)
Total KM: 1157.4 (700 miles)

Total money raised for @mindcharity: £43,764

7 DAYS AND 155 MILES UNTIL THE FINISH LINE.

Probably going the biggest week of my life, certainly going to be the toughest. One last push for mental health, LETS HAVE IT!!!

@NCGA_Avocado Welcome to the world sweet plant

[Thehullboy @Thehullboy1]

One more day until we reach Scotland. Day 34 of running the entire length of the UK to raise money for @mindcharity

After a month of running, 770km and over 1 million steps we enter our third and final country of the UK challenge. Although there’s a long way to go, very grateful to hopefully be able to say I’ve ran the full length of England by tomorrow night.

Time to rest up focus and go again tomorrow. Less than 370 miles till the finish line

Day: 34
Day KM: 25.7 (16 miles)
Total KM: 772.8 (480.2 miles)

Total money raised for @mindcharity: £34,205

I will never give up. Day 26 completed of running the entire length of the UK.

The setback is never as big as the comeback. Been a rough 2 days mentally with a few problems back home but nice to push back and run 26KM into Wigan before the sunset tonight.

18 miles to Preston tomorrow then 21 into the Lake District on Monday. Time to get the miles back into the legs 🤝

Day: 26
Day KM: 26 (16 miles)
Total KM: 613 (388.1 miles)
Total money raised for @mindcharity: £31,223

[Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @DrDiGiorgio]

Doctors order CTs for every minor head bump, not because it's good medicine, but because it’s legally safe.

Missing a trivial brain bleed? Career-ending.

But irradiating 20 people to find one? No lawsuit. No friction. No second thought.

Yet this new @UCSF study shows that medical radiation causes up to 5% of all U.S. cancers.

Overtesting isn’t benign. It's just delayed harm that no one tracks back to us.

This is exactly what @ThomasSowell meant by unseen trade-offs. We protect ourselves from rare, immediate harms by inflicting diffuse, long-term ones. The incentives are perfectly misaligned.

Real policy fix?

For non-emergencies, adding cost friction isn't a bad thing. "Just taking a look" isn't harmless. It also shouldn't be "free."

We also need to enact common-sense med mal reform that distinguishes rare misses from negligence.

Build a culture of risk literacy, not just risk aversion.

Until then, we’ll keep harming more patients to protect fewer doctors, and feel morally superior doing it.

@Judith652 Incredible! I've seen other temperature blanket makers find little leather stamped patches with the temperatures to attach the colour key which I thought was a neat idea
