I'm an old GP. I was told to 'go on Twitter' to raise awareness of my patient's plight. I eventually managed to retire from my practice- but still work pt time.
@AndyT70716325@SamaHoole The claim that statins increase life expectancy by only a few days is misleading. This figure comes from a 2015 BMJ Open study measuring survival gains strictly during clinical trials lasting two to six years, which drastically underestimates lifelong benefits.
@SamaHoole@iamWilliamKing This is rhetorically biased, frames standard preventative screening as inherently predatory, and ignores the millions of lives extended by these exact preventative medications.
@EdwardJDavey Trump is a boorish oaf with no sense of loyalty. He betrayed his Kurdish allies in Syria - & the Afghans by doing a tawdry deal with the Taliban. Tugendhat's: 'I've watched good men go into the earth', Commons speech sums up his disrespect for our troops in the Nato mission.
@piersmorgan Very sad. And to rub salt info the wound, my greatest regret is that Chris Rea didn't get round to joining forces with Dire Straits to form a new band .... Dire Rea.
@mgtmccartney@DoctorAngry Hereโs one example โฆ the Icletest โฆ a test for microhaematuria which was promoted as a screening test for Ca prostate. A negative test was supposed to give men โ peace of mind. See: https://t.co/ZbjJ5GcPri and https://t.co/oGmTRv0k3g
@bengoldacre Given that this policy aims to stop tax dodgers buying farmland, why not offer: "If your land has been farmed by your family for over 25 years, you can be exempted from inheritance tax for as long as the land is used as your farm - but you'll pay tax if you sell or develop"?
@chrismccausland@RoyLilley Fantastic achievement! Thereโs nothing left to say thatโs original - so Iโll settle for: โWell done you and well done Dianne!!!โ
@Evoclique_ There was an old Bishop of York
Who certainly could talk the talk
But when he found Vicars
