@demishassabis Many possibilities for simple #delirium-related webapps - here is another one related to brain care and mind care of people with delirium - the mind care element is often not done well.

Myth: Only people with dementia get delirium.

Fact: While dementia increases risk, anyone can develop delirium. In hospitals, about 60% of people with delirium also have dementia.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Just got this message relayed to me through from my site. It breaks my heart...

"Dear Mr Lewis. I invested in respect of the advice you discussed with Cat Deeley. When trying to transfer funds I was prevented by my bank 3 times, culminating in a phone call from them telling me not to invest in this. Somehow 3 payments went through"

Of course we're writing to them letting them know they've fallen for a SCAM. And well done the bank for trying to stop it.

Yet I'm so tired of warning about these criminals. I know most people are fed up of the warnings. I'm fed up of the warnings. The frustration is it still hasn't got through to everyone

I don't know how much clearer than I NEVER DO ADVERTS ANY ADS WITH ME IN ARE SCAMS I could be, never mind the fact its for an investment.

And worse it still gives me a shot of guilt every time I get one of these. I know I've done everything in my power, I've sued, I've lobbied successfully to get the law changed (though it wont happen til 2027), I've shouted from the rooftops about it, done programmes and interviews galore.

Yet I still feel somehow responsible.

Human kindness can significantly reduce the distress associated with #delirium.

Eye contact, gentle words, reassurance, explanation of context - simple and quick to do, and very effective in improving the experience of the delirious patient.

Build this into every interaction.

Nearly 2 out of 3 people say they (or someone they care for) have had a problem with NHS admin in the past year. But what impact do these experiences have on the public's perceptions of the NHS? We explored this in our February long read: https://t.co/gswiVQUgrN

Being, or feeling like burden to others is part of normal experience and what makes us human. We support & lift each other in our burdens. Our burdens are opportunities for us & others to show love. We were all helpless babies and,for the most part, our parents cared for us
