Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).

Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.
Bunu yeniden yayınlayın.

Dr Smith saying the quiet part out loud here

The NHS consistently falls the wrong side of Goodhart’s law with patient care suffering as a result

We can not afford to put statistics and metrics ahead of sensible clinical decision making in the patients best interests

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

Once again, this cannot be emphasised enough. This is not made in Ireland anymore, it is owned by a Zionist company now.
Please buy Irish made alternatives that aren't soaked in blood, they are just as good.

Dr Tamara: GMC is abusing its regulatory powers under political pressure from Israeli lobbies.

Help us end this witch hunt.

It has been almost five years since the Taliban stopped girls over 12 going to school.

Millions of Afghan women are being erased from public life. Girls are growing up without the education they need and deserve. Mothers can't even take their children to the park.

This cannot go on. You are not forgotten.

This image is still stuck in my mind, how the Israeli occupation soldiers arrested all the patients at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

We will not forget, and we will not forgive.

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

The core issue is that many non clinician HCWs treat clinical diagnosis like a linear checklist. B/c they have been superficially involved in executing a treatment or running a test, they falsely believe they understand the cognitive engine driving those decisions.

When issues arise around clinical judgement that are simple, because of this prevalent problem, you'll find people teaching the foundational mechanics of the diagnostic process and explaining the massive intellectual leap b/w a probabilistic differential & a definitive diagnosis.

You eventually realize that the thousands of hours of training that built your clinical intuition cannot be explained on a timeline to someone already high on Dunning-Kruger tea.

This is precisely why everyone should stay within their established area of expertise. It is a profound systemic failure that the world is turning excellent allied medical professionals into dangerously under-trained clinicians. They are drowning in a sea of clinical ambiguity they have’t been equipped to navigate, mistaking protocol compliance for true diagnostic proficiency.

Doctors Without Borders: We’re outraged by Israel’s repeated killing of medics and call for their urgent protection in Lebanon

Media: Crickets…

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is beyond horrifying.

New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.

Among them:

• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5

That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.

Israel isn’t “defending itself.”

It is wiping out Palestinian life.

HT Clare McNaught, first woman president of @RCSEd for alerting me to this bit of wisdom from Erica Kreismann (LinkedIn).

Women- or anyone with a high degree of conscientious, I reckon- don't have imposter syndrome, they have an overcorrection problem. And it leads to #burnout.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

We learned from COVID 19 that oil is worthless in a society without consumption, healthcare has to be public because health is public, 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they're being paid, and that we live in a society, not an economy.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Israel is now killing so many people in Lebanon so regularly that the media has lost interest. Much like it did in Gaza.

[Matthew Butcher @matthewtbutcher]

This candidate made a mistake and then turned her life around and set up a charity helping drug addicts, homeless people, prisoners and ex-inmates.

I really despair at a politics that attacks people like Carlotta Allum.

The hostage crisis has been completely forgotten. Because all the hostages left, like Dr. Hoss Abu Safiya, are Palestinian.

[S @Shirink_13]

This is not normal. Don’t normalize this.

Palestinian lives matter just like yours.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

If 41 Jews were killed in 24hrs, it would be called the nth worst antisemitic massacre since the holocaust.

When 41 Lebanese are killed by Israel in 24hrs, it’s called a ceasefire.

[Dr.Hamza Alsharif 🇵🇸 @Hamzasharif5750]

For those who don't know.

Gaza now has the highest rate of children with amputated limbs in all of modern history.

Something you stand before with great sadness and shock,

not a passing news story.
