If a GP spends 30 hours a week seeing patients, they’re then also doing another 10-20 hours on admin, follow ups, letters and more. No doctor shortage will ever be fixed in this country until people face up to the fact that they need to be treated better.

This is what in Japanese is known as ‘tsundoku’: buying book after book to add to a pile you will never get to.

Further context: I am in End Stage Kidney Failure & need to move to facilitate Peritoneal (home based) Dialysis starting within the next 2/3 weeks.

This is the only treatment option I have. I will die without it. 😭

Pls RT/tag anyone who may know of something available! 💔

PUPPY YOGA EXPOSED

Behind the social media hype of new fad to hit Ireland PUPPY YOGA lies a disturbing truth: They claim that they do background checks, the pups are their main concern!

All we got experienced was exploitation and irresponsibility and greed.

MLHR delved deep, we went undercover contacting the business as breeders, uncovering a distressing reality where purebred pups are promoted without any regard for their health or the ongoing dog crisis.

No background checks, no vaccination records, and accepting puppies barely weaned—all to fuel profit-driven breeding.

MLHR disguised ourselves as a breeder and had back and forth emails and a telephone call with PUPPY YOGA, where they offered cash in hand on the day for supplying puppies, they seem desperate and wanted the same puppies for a whole weekend of back to back classes!!

Also selling tickets for the event and the location not revealed until the day before. The list goes on….

Let's lift the veil and demand accountability from this company, Ireland is in the middle of a dog crisis, what will happen when these puppies grow too big, once again lining the pockets of irresponsible breeders?
In our investigation they did not care if these puppies had homes lined up or not, didn’t care about who we where, they just wanted puppies and fast for this weekend 2 full days sessions.

There’s a huge dog crises, rescues and pounds closing their doors they are so full.
Dogs roaming the streets looking for help.

If dog yoga then ask rescues if they have puppies or dogs that would love to have human interaction.
DONATE TO RESCUES!!

Tsundoku, from Japanese, is the act of buying yet another book that you fully intend to read, but never quite get round to.

Exercise is probably the single best way to extend lifespan.

You need to exercise like your life depends on it.

Because it does.

Here's why.

Nearly 2 weeks without home Internet with the worst customer service from @SkyIreland - 40mins on hold to speak to a real human on multiple occasions, a modem replacement to be sent in 3-5working days still awaited...if there was another provider in our catchment we'd have moved!

[Lauren McBride Fields @LMcBrideFields]

I recall 2 'eminent' male surgeons in med school-one calling me the 'token womb in the room' as the only female in theatre & the other saying I'd 'a nice skirt but not a lot going on between the ears' on getting his 20th subsequent Q wrong. Toxic misogyny was indeed alive&well

[Dr Liz O'Riordan @Liz_ORiordan]

I have no words. Thanks to the
@thetimes who led with the story about 1/3 female surgeons being sexually harassed, even raped, at work, for
publishing this letter from an anaesthetist saying we should expect it!!
This is why it is still goes on
@wpsms_org @RCoANews

Bullying should not happen. Sexual harassment is a criminal offence NOT a routine part of medical training

@amymorgangp 'Or if your personal details have changed' i.e. address &/or phone #...in which case you either don't receive this appt letter or the '3 attempts' at the call. Why the need for virtual clinics at all? +++GP time spent chasing DNA letters for px unaware they even had an appt 🤯
