@Wimbledon I can’t believe how you treat your tennis players by not allowing them to take a medical time out for a proper assessment when the player is clearly in pain! This is cruel and embarrassing! #francescajones
False advertising @asda fosse park. I spent money on the product to find out that the gifts are not available! Poor customer service in store and over the phone. @CocaCola_GB why would you allow for that? Where have the free gifts gone? @AsdaServiceTeam@CocaCola
My last post about being sick with #COVID19 attracted much attention, good and bad. For those who wished me well, thank you very much! I have already recovered my sense of smell and taste and am improving from Covid symptoms every day.
For the denialists who took precious time of their lives to come to my post and say that the virus does not exist or that it is just a common cold, just a message:
I directly see the virus in the brain using microscopy, and you can see it as well in the video I made below. Viral protein (red, viral nucleocapsid) is found mainly inside neurons (blue, neun) in the olfactory cortex. Glial cells such as astrocytes (white, gfap) and microglia (green, iba1( are attacking these infected neurons, trying to slow down the viral spreading across the brain. Although beneficial, this mechanism also generates more neuroinflammatory propagation, with additional collateral damage to the circuits besides the death of infected neurons.
You can deny as much as you want that this is happening, but science is here clearly proving what is going on. Our first study was published last year: https://t.co/xL79P0zds9
We are currently also looking at how vaccines can modulate this type of neuronal damage. So far, it seems that, although not able to prevent neuronal infection, vaccination reduces the neuroinflammatory response generated by the immune system in the brain. More to come soon! #FluorescenceFriday
We are now definitely into the stage of the pandemic where everyone is starting to see the widespread effects of immune dysfunction that Covid infection causes.
1/🧵 Our cell’s genes are rewired in MILD COVID 🧬
Stunning data in @Nature
White Cells (monocytes) switch gene expression from an established innate immune profile to a pro-clotting signature in COVID.
We’re immunocompromised.
Let’s unpack this…

More new findings from #NAP7 published today in @Anaes_Journal (open access).

Some thoughts about the revelations from the COVID enquiry.
It is now blindingly clear that we were lied to.
We were signed up to a massive medical experiment - “herd immunity” - without consent. 1/5
This is not ok. The EGM result was to suspend expansion of AA numbers pending regulation.
This is suggesting that we have an unregulated workforce, recruited on a nod by their mates. Bad for safety, without scrutiny and deviating from college guidance.
Today in #SASWeek the focus is on the specialist grade.
Dr Jehan Abdumajeed shares her journey to the SAS specialist role in this very honest profile. https://t.co/zV7jQKIEtc @jojja5777_jehan#SASWeek23@Leic_hospital
Today is the first day of #SASweek23 🌟
SAS doctors are important members of any hospital department, especially anaesthesia, yet have difficulty gaining the recognition they deserve. Read our SAS handbook 2023 to better understand their role.

Wow this made me very emotional
A gate was opened and now the tide is coming in
Women in Medicine are speaking up about sexual harassment after their colleagues in surgery broke the dam
Thank you for speaking up for those coming after 🙏🏻
