Dear Boris
You were talking about me in March 2020, here: 'why are we destroying economy for people who will die anyway soon.'
Love to you too
Michael

@doc_hnaqvi Very interesting...
Deconditioning has a significant role to play I imagine

[Beth Taylor @Beth_Taylor8]

@Dogtor_Erin @doc_hnaqvi Awareness is pretty good actually but confidence less so!

[Beth Taylor @Beth_Taylor8]

An interesting few days listening in to #EuGMS2023 - plenty of food for thought!

To all young women leaping up and down with 4 A* about to start medicine - congratulations. We see you. We have your back. You have a right to expect your career to be free of sexual harassment and assault. There may be some tough times ahead but these should not add to that.

@doc_hnaqvi @henna_naqvi Such a stunning sunset ☺️

"Older age and #frailty convey some of the highest fracture risks, and therefore older people and those living with frailty often have the most to gain from anti-osteoporosis treatment."

Sending best wishes to #F1doctors starting medical careers this week.
These #TipsForNewDocs are about what to say when a patient is so sick that death is possible.
We can talk about it with kindness, or we can duck out, leaving families unprepared, & important last words unsaid.

[Beth Taylor @Beth_Taylor8]

@mujeebmakki @SWBHnhs @doc_hnaqvi And with you! Enjoy your holiday 😊

[Beth Taylor @Beth_Taylor8]

F1 ✅
A hectic last on call to finish a mad but amazing year. Never expected to enjoy this year as much as I have.
Very grateful to @SWBHnhs for being the supportive place it is & @doc_hnaqvi for the constant supply of coffee!

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. https://t.co/wXQy3j8XcW

Clinician grief is not something to be ignored or ashamed of. It comes in various forms, sometimes it is sadness, sometimes respect, sometimes shock, sometimes it is not sad but enlightening and life affirming.

A lot more can be said on this - here's one such article with much better thoughts than my own...

There's been a lot of talk recently about medicine being a 'vocation' vs 'just a job'. Here's a few musings...

[Beth Taylor @Beth_Taylor8]

Healthcare without compassion is not a world I want to be a part of.

Maybe instead of focusing on medicine as a 'vocation' vs 'just a job', we can be intentional in maintaining this culture of compassion with ourselves, our colleagues and our patients - now more than ever.
