There will come a time when we, the SARS2 aware, get blamed for all the ill health. It will be “well if you knew, why didn’t you say anything?”.
We tried, we really did, and we wore respirators all the time, you could see.

This student will not qualify as a PA until mid 2027.
This is who the GMC is employing to assess the quality of PA courses...
She is not a post-grad. She is on a direct from school PA UG master's degree.
In 2014, while filming a movie, Jackie Chan discovered that a group of Mongolian locals knew every word to 'Rolling in the Deep' by heart... even though they didn’t speak English.
The beautiful moment was never part of the script.
A PA misdiagnosed a 5 yr old girl with thrush and recommended a prescription for a vaginal pessary tablet and cream. GP authorised it. Pharmacist dispensed. Mother thought that the PA was a GP

Gaudi designed interior of La Sagrada Familia to look like living forest.
Columns are giant branches. The stain-glass window light up inside of basilica different color depending on time of day.
Morning (Nativity east facade) shines blue and green to symbolize start of life. Late afternoon (Passion west facade) for end of life.
Absolute legend.
Peak mercantile marvellous from a glorious (if slightly grey) Glasgow. Victorian Britain completely worked out how to create large buildings that were both beautiful AND had generous windows. Critical to the ongoing revival of Glasgow City centre will be …
This guy's chickens kept getting targeted by hawks, so he started feeding local crows. Now he has an army of crows that patrols his property and chases the hawks away.
No surgery. No wires. No brain implant.
A retainer that controls your iPhone with your tongue.
This is MIT's 0.7mm answer to Neuralink.
The startup Augmental built a device called the MouthPad.
Founder Tomás Vega designed it as a dental-grade smart retainer.
It sits on the roof of your palate.
A capacitive trackpad reads tongue movement as input.
Users swipe, tap, and type completely hands-free.
The device runs about 9 hours per charge.
Augmental reports 100+ users already deployed in the field.
Neuralink requires skull surgery to read brain signals.
This approach grants similar independence with zero medical risk.
It serves people with spinal cord injuries and paralysis.
Sometimes the smartest answer skips the operating room entirely.
QUESTIONS:
Where else do we reach for surgery when simpler tools exist?
What makes assistive tech go from clever demo to daily lifeline?

I still remember the first time I heard this.
That there was more to this vocation than was being made out.
Hat tip @amateursuman you had a massive impact.
@NeilTrainis I would imagine you would react with similar alarm if we let our resident doctor colleagues run community pharmacies as “autonomous practitioners”.
But apparently professional boundaries only work in one direction.
@NeilTrainis No-one is disputing your knowledge of pharmacology, but I don’t understand why you think that bestows enough medical knowledge for you to do in the community what we don’t let F1s (who are significantly more medically qualified, licensed, & competent than you) do.
In a New York minute ⏰
Located in Tribeca, New York City's only mechanical sidewalk clock has been keeping time for the neighborhood for the past six years and still has to be hand wound every week.
Today I got a behind-the-scenes look at the process and took part in a new project called It's About Time, where a different New Yorker is invited each week to help wind the clock and share their thoughts on time.
Thank you to Megan Marod for the nomination, and thank you to Tory Weil and the team for having me and introducing me to this unique piece of NYC history ❤️
What's your New York minute?
