@LeylsTurk No food or caffeine overnight! Game-changer! Meal prep big dinners for before work, coffee on route, “lunch” before midnight. No food 12-6am. Quick and easy breakfast of avo toast before bed with TV to wind down. Into bed by 11am. Blackout blinds & eye mask.

I have a young patient who is sadly in a hospice and a MASSIVE Man City fan. He is far away from home and his family. If anyone could be in touch with me to do a video message or something small - I would be so grateful.

@TeslaCharging I think you forgot to install the *super* part of the supercharger… Maidstone charger is always running very slow, fix please?

@DuchessSexpert Cold milk and a thick layer of granulated sugar. Eat quickly before it gets too soggy!

Hi all - the issue is that the website very clearly says the lead booker must be there, you cannot seemingly give away the tickets. This is why I am asking @edsheeran @seetickets for advice!!

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@edsheeran @seetickets Have covid and can no longer attend Ed Sheeran concert tomorrow. Too late to list for resale and all guidance suggests I can’t give the tickets away as the lead booker must be in attendance with photo ID. Any advice - I want somebody to enjoy the tickets!

@rcpch_trainees any update on when the March START reports are going to come out? Please and thankyou

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@VirginAtlantic I have been on hold for 2 1/2 hours to discuss an issue that cannot be resolved online….I am yet to speak to a person at all…any bright ideas about how better to make contact?!

We don't want wellbeing rooms or yoga sessions, we want:

Car parking spaces.
Lockers.
Desks.
Access to computers.
Rotas in advance.
A place to rest.
Respect.

I met my old French teacher and she asked me what I was up to. I told her I live in Edinburgh in Scotland and I like to visit the cinema, play football with my brother and my favourite food is pizza. I do not like running and Coca Cola.

Nice of her to ask 👍

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@POCUS_CACTUS Exciting. When will the next course be held? Super keen to get on board!

Spiking a temp isn't sepsis.
Sepsis is life threatening organ dysfunction secondary to an infection.
Spiking a temp is just spiking a fucking temp - all other obs & bloods normal - for the love of Christ stop labelling everything as sepsis.

@drphiliplee1 This is the paediatrics approach…I can’t understand adult medicines need to keep the night team around to repeat something to them that they can read in the notes?

[Tricia Pendergrast, MD @trpender]

medical students, i am begging you, PLEASE stop going to the Olympics… the bar… you are setting the bar far too high

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@Census2021 Thanks for the apology but she received three letters and emails with escalating fines on each. Responsibility needs to be taken for ensuring accuracy when sending this many letters to vulnerable people - she was terrified.

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@Census2021 thanks for sending my 86 year old grandmother 3 letters threatening fines despite her completing the census on time and having the verification code to prove it. There must be a better way to double check your information that doesn’t involve threatening the elderly.

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@keirshiels A fair compromise - everybody has different experiences.

[Emma Smyth @emcollinson]

@keirshiels @keirshiels I’m presuming you’ve never had a smear. When done correctly it does not feel invasive or uncomfortable. I understand the point you’re trying to make but perpetuating this myth also leads to reduced uptake!

@orima_ks @WelshGasDoc Orima I did this years ago and it is life changing. You just leave work and .... breathe!!
