Pfaff. Has there ever been a better example of nominative determinism in medicine? 🙄 #MedTwitter

It's been a crazy few months since I had the pleasure of meeting the #SharpScratch podcast team ... here, AT LAST, our very enjoyable (and hopefully useful!) episode 'How to smash your #medschool exams'.

@zackferguson The preclinical versus clinical distinction has always seemed very outdated and artificial to me. Can break it down by introducing placements early at med school and linking all the science to real patients. Makes it much less daunting than a sudden switch halfway through.

I did it. I made a tiktok that nobody on tiktok will understand.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

I read this twice and can’t see a single reference to, never mind refutation of, the testimony given by the medics on the programme. It’s the starkest example yet that the Vote Leave government is trying to make confected tribal allegiance more important than evidence. Again.

My mum just reminded me of the time I tried to take on Big Pharma when I was 5.

[David Brill @davidbrill]

👇🏻 Some excellent points in here 👇🏻

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

once again for those not getting it : 980 is not the number who died today. Just the number they announced of those who died in hospital. The real number of extra dead in 24 hours - including those not yet announced, those in care homes, at home, etc - could be hundreds more

[Becky Fisher @beckybeckyfish]

Currently working in an idyllic version of the NHS in which we have adequate rest facilities, adequate parking, and access to refreshments outside of 9-5.
We should not need a pandemic to give us these basic privileges.

[Tim Minchin @timminchin]

This is so gorgeous. (By the genius @xkcdComic of course).

[David Brill @davidbrill]

Excellent long read about @WHO role in global pandemics, from SARS and Ebola through to #COVID19. “The WHO is a global force, but people aren’t thinking globally.” @guardian https://t.co/mPUewiDZ0A

[David Brill @davidbrill]

👇🏻 Glad someone wrote this - our A&E is also weirdly quiet on the non COVID side. Seriously hoping people aren’t just sitting at home with heart attacks, strokes and appendicitis...

[Harlan Krumholz @hmkyale]

My piece @nytimes on ‘Where have all the heart attacks gone?’ 'most concerning possible explanation is that people stay home and suffer rather than risk coming to the hospital and getting infected with coronavirus.’ https://t.co/7xUG3t8H5X #covid19
