This is 14 Dec 2020 - as the Covid death toll hurtled towards over 1000 souls a day.
I was trying to care for the dying on desperately overwhelmed Covid wards.
What were you doing?
Terry Davis - who has been cared for by our palliative care team - had a special guest to his front garden, after physiotherapist Debra Alton arranged for her horse Mr Riley to visit.
Our outstanding staff going above and beyond yet again for patients.

.@KMiddletonCSP responds to figures released today which showed a record wait for patients in A&E and for ambulances.
The focus is on A&E and ambulance waits, but rehabilitation is key to freeing up beds and improving the flow of patients through hospital.
#RightToRehab 1/2
Critical incidents being declared by multiple NHS trusts across England.
Patients stuck in ambulances & corridors for 24, 48 hours or more.
Patients dying before they even get a bed.
How dare the govt stand idly by while inflicting such horrific conditions on patients & staff?

Just done #bbcqt in Skipton.
Felt to me like the Government are going to have to rethink their approach to public sector pay and strikes.
The public are more on side with workers and their unions than Ministers seem to think.
Grohl, McCartney, Springsteen at Glastonbury 2022.
All blockbuster headliners in their own right, that famous stage has never seen such iconic figures in one moment.

Patients currently waiting 18+ hours stuck in back of ambulances OUTSIDE hospitals.
Patients who *already* waited ++ hours for ambulance to reach them.
Patients with chest pain, respiratory failure, stroke.
Patients sick enough to die.
It is barbaric, inhuman & happening now.
Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 74% of the new cabinet are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society. We'll hear a lot about diversity over the coming few days but diversity which doesn't account for social class is meaningless
