@Jennife10651535 @BBCPM Screening isn’t the same as testing. You get screened routinely when you think you’re healthy and not showing any symptoms. You get tested if the screening result is concerning or if you have symptoms

@houmanhemmati @Bethwithcurls I would be surprised to hear about a patient with bone mets who didn’t feel at least moderate constant pain

@JohnFugelsang https://t.co/Fe9cfaj9ES he’s helping with “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you” here, by keeping families together

@irenerabinowitz @Daniel_Sugarman Cardiff is in Wales?!

@danbarker @nayibbukele How much are these prisoners paying for their training, education, materials, shipping and other costs of manufacturing?

[Simon Jones @Simon_Summoner]

@Xboxplayer13 @Austen Sounds like you’re pretty confused if you think it’s illegal to know your own test results. Maybe we can report you for a gift card?

@wal_cym And independent Wales wouldn’t support foreign aid? How embarrassing and self-centred

@DBW77 @RupertLowe10 I’m sure they should, but no doctor is required to speak Welsh, no matter where they work, nor can the lack of ability to speak Welsh influence hiring. The same is true for nurses of course. The regulators are clear that the professional language in the UK is English.

@DBW77 @RupertLowe10 No doctor is required to speak Welsh in any part of the UK

@RyanMarino @myusername2017 It’s not illegal where I am. A diagnosis does not have to be made by a physician. I also think you’ll find that there’s some amendment or whatever that protects free speech

[Simon Jones @Simon_Summoner]

@williambraden @jack_turban Ah yes. Medical research, the sort of field where we allow “administrative lapse”. Informed consent for a patient at all stages of a medical or research procedure isn’t negotiable or paper-pushing. Any clinician should have that idea

@geeklyamanda Sure, this is good science if you think eg patients with Klinefelter syndrome are a different sex to males based on karyotyping

@chilternrailway @penaltyfare Why don’t you follow the law instead of talking? If I take one of your trains without paying, can I just refer the inspector to my relevant management team instead?

@tontytrains @butwhatifitsall @sewdarngood @YvetteCooperMP But who would be stopping and searching? Police or random citizens?

[Simon Jones @Simon_Summoner]

@Jenny_1884 @PaulBut38752753 Nope. They’re ministers and not in the Cabinet. Every Cabinet minister is a minister, not every minister is in the Cabinet.

@jackfifield @TDSP_James Those who are claiming certain benefits get free prescriptions. The vast majority of prescriptions filled in England are free

@DrEilidhMaria @Hen_Dentist An analyst at MBB would be on 60k, anyone at a white heel or magic circle firm would be on over 100k. No one goes to the public sector for a strong salary

@becky_boo1974 @LukeAmos__ Presumably all NHS staff who are not doctors should be paid less than an F1 then?
