There is no role for PAs in primary care.

Let’s talk about why emergency departments are full.

We’re going to use Mary as an example. Mary is a completely fictional patient.

Let’s say Mary is 72. Her family doctor retired 5 years ago.

She’s in the ED after a fall “weak and dizzy” (we see this a lot.)

His body, his choice! 😂

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

you don’t fix the declining birth rate with subsidies or financial incentives.

the “kids are too expensive” argument is a convenient cope. people claiming they can’t afford children are usually rationalizing deeper issues: they just don’t want them. having children is as expensive as you choose to make it, and for all of human history, people with far fewer resources managed to raise families.

the problem isn’t financial; it’s cultural.

we live in a society that has systematically psyopped and brainwashed people into believing children are a burden, not a blessing. women are told that motherhood is a sacrifice and a hindrance to their career, as if chasing corporate promotions or vanity metrics is more meaningful than creating life.
men are infantilized and taught to fear responsibility. worst of all, we’ve cultivated a nihilistic worldview that makes people see no point in building a future.

the solution starts with changing the culture.

we need to instill pride in people: pride in their ancestry, their legacy, and the future they could create. optimism about what’s to come has to replace the relentless doomscrolling of modernity.
kids aren’t just an "expense"; they’re the greatest investment a human can make, and we need to start celebrating that.

in the short term, the most realistic strategy is doubling down on those who already value family. focus on motivating families with 2-3 kids to have one or two more.
it's much easier to expand a family than to convince couples to start from scratch when they've been ideologically poisoned against the idea.

finally, we need to stop glorifying the miserable, atomized single life and the media narratives that turn parenthood into a joke or tragedy.
yes, parenting is hard, but everything worth doing is.
the joy and purpose it gives far outweigh the sacrifices. once we get that cultural shift rolling, the financial complaints will fade away like the convenient excuses they always were

My statement on #Paris2024 #OpeningCeremony https://t.co/D6h2et9pSh released earlier today. Thankful that the organisers have now issued an apology and there is further official clarification on the matter, addressing the points raised by so many.

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

Have been following the conversation around the Paris Olympics #OpeningCeremony. The content depicting the apparent parody of the Last Supper is inappropriate, grossly offensive and sacrilegious, and entirely unacceptable.

At a moment in time that presented an opportunity for unifying people, and bringing joy and healing to a world increasingly torn apart by conflict, war, religious persecution, and division on many levels, more unnecessary offence, hurt and distraction has been caused.

I will be sharing my thoughts in greater depth in the coming days, but to everyone who is justifiably offended, saddened and concerned that such a beautiful moment in history, and one that is core to the Christian Faith, was so misrepresented, I assure you that you are not alone.

🚨 Does anyone know who this GP is??
She should be PRESIDENT of the RCGP!!

📢 What a smashing statement to a complete bellend of a PM & Tory supporters who have no clue about general practice.

It’s becoming obvious that everyone has been sold a pup with physician’s associate roles. Docs thought they were getting a helper, someone to remove some of the burden of admin and chasing for junior docs and who could also do some routine tasks (but under supervision and 1/n

[Hayley @hayleymagill]

I’ve never shared the full story about why I left the NHS

I’ll share the moment I decided to quit though

In theatre on a tricky list.. I had back problems and came straight from a clinic which was running late. An SPR who was mean to me all rotation decided to join the list..

[Vigneshwar Raj @raj_vigneshwar]

Christmas day as an F1

✔️ Cover 5 surgical wards across 3 specialties
✔️ Bleeped every 15 minutes about unwell patients
✔️Yelled at by a nurse for a rota error

All for under £16/hr, the lowest paid employee in the hospital today

I will strike until I am paid my worth

@VirginMediaNews why does it take time and effort to cancel the subscription, I have been spending a couple of hours since yesterday and talking to 5 different people with no luck!! I remember it only took less than 5 minutes to get the service, why is it so hard to stop it!!

@NephroP Depends, if there is a scar tissue then most likely this is a kidney graft, if not then maybe pelvic/horseshoe kidney.
