@MattHancock You're proud that "only" 1305 people have waited OVER A YEAR for operations due to your underfunding?

Thank us NHS staff by raising funding by %GDP to bring it in line with the rest of Europe. France, Germany, Sweden all spend over 11%

If you are observing #ColumbusDay2019 today here is a list of what you are celebrating...

1.) Christopher Columbus's army used indigenous people as dog food. They were known to feed live babies to dogs in front of their horrified parents.

@Board100De @ivorinfo 'Sitting with' is about not running away. Some pains (particularly emotional pain - think about bereavement) can't be fixed, & the impulse to 'do something' stops us from being truly present to listen & validate the suffering person's experience.

@Herring1967 Stephen hawking would have been fab. Too late though ☹️

Avoid @Dell at all costs. Paid for premium on site accidental damage repair. A month after my laptop broke and I'm still waiting due to a "backlog"

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

@DellUK Well I did that - as much use as a chocolate teapot. Basically "sorry, our parts department doesn't talk to our engineer booking department or our customer support phone line, and we don't know who you should contact to complain". Great communication guys.

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

@DellUK what kind of premium support service only tells you on the (precious annual leave) day of a scheduled repair that the parts are out of stock? I don't have spare holiday to waste like this. @DellCares I really don't think you do...

@deepamstry Cajun spice mix is definitely amazing on crisps

Not many things make me miss hospital medicine but this is genius!

Me, after taking a peek at the Emergency Department locator from AAU to see what kind of a day it's going to be.

Today in Y6 we looked at poems that could be read forwards & backwards. I was stunned by this one written by one of my 10 year olds. Please share - I would love her work to be appreciated further afield. I wonder if it could even find a publisher?

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

First obstacle @GHHospice Muddy Mayhem, not long until the start now. Amazing sunshine! I'm the Hay Bales Marshall 😁

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

@LaB2_Study Are you still looking for clinical sites to recruit carers? I work at a hospice in the EoE, we're looking to become more research active, maybe we could help?

@djnicholl @doctor_oxford @kateheydonorg @DrHenryMarsh @drkathrynmannix writes brilliantly - palliative care physician aiming to normalise and discussions (and reduce fear) about dying

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Bed occupancy >85% is dangerous for patients.

We’re at 95% already & hospitals are turning ambulances away.

That’s what happens when you cut 15k beds & are 40k nurses & 10k doctors short.

So do something, Mrs May, & for God’s sake stop squabbling. https://t.co/ezwi81j2md

@deepamstry lunch with my mum tomorrow - Parker's Tavern, the Tambourlaine or the Ivy? Need somewhere yummy, relaxed and not too overpriced! I think you're the most qualified to advise me 😁

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

@drkathrynmannix On a Ryanair flight 😂 had to make do with a baby wipe... Didn't help that the fiction book I just finished also involved death... Highly recommend The Song Of Us though!

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

@drkathrynmannix 2/2 now reading the book. Tears of recognition on the aeroplane home from Italy. Great to read your distilled wisdom at the start of my career as a pall care consultant. Thank you 😊

[Ros Marvin @doc_ros]

@drkathrynmannix 1/2 I use your video to teach GPs. Thank you. Amazing how many of them have never witnessed the natural process IRL, and so lack the words to describe it. Met someone on holiday yesterday who had seen the video on Facebook; it helped him process his best friend's premature death.

e-elca is such a fab resource 😊 https://t.co/SlA2S3I53y

[Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix]

Palliative care on-line education resource suitable for generalists too. Bite-sized chunks. High quality. Regularly reviewed and updated. Pass it on. https://t.co/4JRm8ibzpj
