The UK produces the most plastic waste per person in the world, 2nd to USA. But because we can’t deal with all that plastic, the UK govt is dumping it on other countries. This is causing health and wildlife emergencies. @BorisJohnson act. #Wasteminster https://t.co/Gdv5zTLw9N
RT: We’ve delivered 625kg of plastic to Downing Street - the same amount the UK dumps overseas every 30 seconds - to deliver a message. Stop dumping UK plastic waste overseas and fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.
@BorisJohnson take responsibility. 1/2
Every sentence in this is inspiring. "Dr. Lown recognized the extent to which patients can be damaged when doctors are carried away by technological procedures, particularly when encouraged by financial/professional conflicts of interest"

Fantastic opportunity to reflect on virtues in general practice, in particular helpful for discussions with GP trainees and for GPs working with vulnerable patients.

This is #WhyWeRevolt. Because it has corrupted its mission, it has stopped caring, we need to turn away from industrial healthcare and toward careful and kind care for all, based on solidarity not greed. @patientrev
⚠️Very common problem from a medical student perspective!
📖 The majority of pictures in dermatology textbooks only include the presentation on light skin!
This needs addressing especially as BAME patients make up approx 20% of the UK population!

In praise of inefficiency: think back to the last time you had a "good doctor." I can almost guarantee that they didn't make you feel rushed, that they listened, that they showed interest in you as a human being.
We've had the slow food movement; isn't it time for slow medicine?
