Happy 61st anniversary to my favorite scene not only in ‘The Sound of Music’ but on film!
Filming for ‘The Laendler’ dance happened from July 21–23, 1964 and it stands as the epitome of romance to me.
As a taxpayer, can I just ask where the work is in this timetable? Feels awfully like a medical student role with a few small aspects of a HCA or admin assistant. For the cost of a registrar...

🔸PA employed using funding for SAS doc
🔸PA admitting she knew nothing prior to starting
🔸Spends 50% of time in theatre and the rest ‘assessing’ new patients
🔸After 8 weeks learning she’s ready to train others and manage patients

The reality is they want to do doctoring & do Dr-like tasks without the hard graft required.
If you want to practice medicine, go to medical school. No shortcuts.
A lorry driver blocked off abortion protesters outside the QEUH today
Protesters phoned the police - they accused the driver of being drunk - but officers took no action
When he heard someone ask if this would be a regular thing, the driver said: “As often as I can”

Some ‘simple��� patients I’ve seen as a GP
• Runny nose in baby ➡️ sepsis
• Back pain ➡️ myeloma
• Dizziness ➡️ stroke
• Sore throat ➡️ quinsy
• Wart ➡️ skin cancer
• “feeling off” ➡️ heart attack
Simple is a RETROSPECTIVE diagnosis
