For me there’s only one contender for Person of the Year.
Gisele Pelicot.
The woman who has recalibrated how we think about rape by refusing to feel shame.
“It’s time we change the way we look at rape”, she said outside the court today.
And…more than anyone I can think of… she’s done that.
“Shame must change sides”, she said, and perhaps – perhaps – that is a little more true today than it’s ever been.
But there’s something else that I want to talk about. Something that’s much more difficult to confront than the inspiration and dignity of Gisele Pelicot.
51 men.
51 men who are not all men… but who are also quite a lot of men. 51 of them in fact.
And if you read about them… their backgrounds… their jobs… their families or lack of family… they’re all quite different.
A firefighter…a nurse… an unemployed alcoholic.
Some were abused as children. Some had comfortable upbringings with kids of their own.
Six had domestic violence convictions. 45 didn’t.
One was 27. Another was 74.
There’s no pattern here. Nothing we can point to. Other than the fact there is no profile of a rapist. Which is perhaps the most frightening thing of all.

Spa day at the swine chalet, face packs all round. Loving my little venture into raising Gloucester old spot pigs, total novice but 4 weeks in it’s going ok.

@EM_Dr_Jacklin @DrLindaDykes For a rural house I’m very lucky to start with 150mbps, 10m from outdoor router I get around 80mbps dropping to around 25mbps at 100m distance.

@EM_Dr_Jacklin @DrLindaDykes Andrew is much more technologically minded than me and might know the answer- I don’t know what speed internet you’d need to start with to maintain a fast enough connection with a distance of Ethernet cable and outdoor router.

[Jemma Cradock @JemCradock]

@DrLindaDykes Yep.

[Jemma Cradock @JemCradock]

@DrLindaDykes Yes, just drilled another hole next to where the fibre comes into the house to take the ethernet cable outside to the access point. You can get direct burial ethernet cable that doesn’t need a conduit if you wanted to put the access point on an outbuilding nearer to your camera

@DrLindaDykes Tornado fence? I can’t recall how big your companion ponies are but, having spent a fortune on said fence, my small pony took great delight in running her body along the wire to help shed her coat 😬. It now has an electric tape halfway down!

@DrLindaDykes Willow is fast growing and takes up lots of water so can be useful if wet land. Ash and Silver birch are fine for paddocks, given half a chance my horses love to try and strip the bark/ remove the leaves 😬.

[RDH REMIT @QI_REMIT]

Here at Derby we are doing some work on the acuity and dependency of patients in the emergency department. Has anyone used Jones Dependency Tool/ BEST recently in the current climate of no flow?

[Jemma Cradock @JemCradock]

@DrLindaDykes I said I didn’t need a hot wash when I left livery, that lasted a summer 😂. One cold wash and chilblains later.......

@trentconsultant Pick up a ringing phone in ED, say goodbye to 20 minutes while you wait for Lorenzo to reveal the location of the patient the call relates to 🤦‍♀️.
