Imagine if a Jewish doctor in the UK celebrated the Srebrenica massacre, where 8,000 Muslims were killed—or used the anniversary of the Christchurch mosque shootings, where 51 Muslims were murdered, to ghoulishly troll Muslims.

They would be fired, arrested, and every Jewish organization in the UK would issue impassioned statements condemning him. But where are the Muslim groups condemning Aladwan? Where are the police, who know this is illegal glorification of terrorism? Why is she still a doctor in the UK? Does Britain want doctors who wish some of their patients dead?

How much longer will the Jewish community have to live in complete fear of simply accessing the NHS, let alone attending synagogues @wesstreeting

What is the plan - we need to hear it now

[Emily Damari @EmilyDamari1]

As a Dual British-Israeli citizen who survived 471 days in Hamas captivity, I am deeply saddened by your decision @Keir_Starmer to recognise Palestinian statehood. This move does not advance peace—it risks rewarding terror. It sends a dangerous message: that violence earns legitimacy.

By legitimising a state entity while Hamas still controls Gaza and continues its campaign of terror, you are not promoting a solution; you are prolonging the conflict. Recognition under these conditions emboldens extremists and undermines any hope for genuine peace.
Shame on you.

Israelis are out in the streets celebrating the return of their loved ones.

Palestinians are out in the streets chanting that there will be more Oct. 7ths.

It’s very clear which side is evil.

@AlbertLinMD1 Micra AV2. Cap and abandon leads.

Proud to be (helping) @NHSBartsHealth into the PFA era for AF ablation. 2x PulseSelect w @AbbottCardio HD grid mapping and smashed a Farapulse case. The Ice age 🥶has ended⚡️⚡️.

Thks @BSCCardiology and @MedtronicUK for bringing the advances to our patients, and our A1 team🙏😁

Watch @GalGadot’s conversation with Eden Golan ahead of @Eurovision.

Our love is so much stronger than their hate.

@mcfinlay Enjoy losing the last fascicle with the valve if not 😂

Shit happens; can happen during a pacemaker check, albeit extremely rarely; what do you see?
Caution: 50 mm/s !!!

[James Bongart @JBPhysiologist]

@APfenniger Going to be something like Telectronics. My CXR assessment of modern devices is much better. They are probably LP 3.2mm pins too!

[James Bongart @JBPhysiologist]

@APfenniger How old are those leads?!

[James Bongart @JBPhysiologist]

@narrowQRS @ECG_Emily @BenjaminAbella Only pulling your leg. Gathered it was real! Shows importance of CPR, and doing it properly (not like the employees of Dunder Mifflin)

[James Bongart @JBPhysiologist]

@ECG_Emily @narrowQRS @BenjaminAbella Exactly the point where it’s too fast!

“you didn’t maintain compressions and you lost him”

“Do you know what the next step is? Harvest the organs”

😂😂😂

@naijaQRS @AnandShah_MD @narrowQRS @EPWaveDoc @rdschaller @aalahmadmd @melchami99 @FaisalMMerchant @EPLabDigest @AmoleOjoMD @Drdevignair Would have it not just been pertinent to tunnel the lead across and use CRTD?Your risk with concurrent devices is the PPM on RHS could undersense VF thus causing over on LHS ICD and causing delay to detection

@jeffrey_vinocur We don’t have 24/7 but we have a seven day service reviewing remotes. It’s internal with a member of staff working on site or home 👍🏼

[James Bongart @JBPhysiologist]

Great experience attending the @BHRSociety Sessions 2024 in Manchester. Was able to present my first abstract poster since beginning my career as a cardiac physiologist. Looking forward to further events and sharing our experiences & practices with our worldwide physiology teams!
