As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

“It’s a bloody nightmare”

Meaning: Something is proving a mild inconvenience; typically used to describe slightly heavy traffic, or the internet not working

“It’s not ideal”

Meaning: Something terrible has happened and life is almost certainly ruined

How can the GMC regulate PAs when a Dr has to return to the patient + repeat the hx + examination?

How can NHS Trusts continue to pay a PA salary when all their work has to be repeated by a lesser paid Dr?

Every-time

Forever

Surely the MPTS outcome now ends the PA project

1/ This week in #IDTwitter @dralicehan asked a great question about meropenem-resistant Strep pneumo.

@UNMC_ID ASP recently had a similar question when looking at our antibiogram.

So I did a mini-lit review in the form of a #Tweetorial
