i’m of the belief that the person who kills bruce wayne’s parents should be a nobody. a lowly mugger (like joe chill) who just kills the waynes in cold blood. there should be no deeper connection to other villains. it should just be a tragedy. an unexplainable tragedy.

Corporations are so funny because they’re going to innovate themselves out of an entire purchasing group. People who can’t work don’t buy things.

Hi, ER Doc here.

I use this account to teach people about medical emergencies. It’s my 10 year Twitter anniversary today and would love to hit 650K followers to be able to reach more people.

Can I get some follows and RTs to help me get there?

I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written

I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases).

Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton @UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis.

She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved.

The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C.

As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature.

I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias.

Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F

@thedaredean Dare spread this anointing!

I find myself wondering why as an ED physician, I am often the one clarifying code status on cancer patients towards the end of their journey. These are important discussions and considerations that should occur upstream by their longstanding trusted treatment team.

posting this as often as possible cause if my father read me like this, i’d be an orphan

It should be illegal to make customers cancel their subscriptions by phone if you let them manage other aspects of their account online.

@EM_Dr_Jacklin Oh! 10 years in I always do this...

#bbcnews discussing why people are choosing to go abroad for holidays rather than staying home and always focus on the weather. Have they seen the prices of caravans , lodges and cottages in the UK? It’s bloody crazy.

@Sai_Ishaya_ @cazeemtunde I like their long sleeve v neck tshirts, I wear them under scrubs. They really do last, I only need to change them every other year despite wearing nearly every week. Oh and fleece tights which are excellent in winter, but I don't think that applies to you.

@greenmiranda I voted today and while I had my polling card no one asked for it.

[Miranda Green @greenmiranda]

My 90 year old mum was turned away at the polling station. She had the right photo ID but no polling card. YOU DO NOT NEED A POLLING CARD TO VOTE. Have reported it and an inspector is on their way but am absolutely beside myself. Confusion reigns.

My wife came across this on a history group…
I feel seen.

A government that never builds, never encourages never promotes. All it does is restrict, limits, destroys, fines, taxs, and place bans all over. We’re being governed by demons. Because what is the aim of this?

[Corbin @Daim_yo]

Please don’t let the internet trick you out of a bag… working 10 minutes from your house, having a 2 hour lunch and getting off at 4 to come back to your own house is a very good situation lol
