Happy International Literacy day. A pic of my reading pipeline, currently reading the Capitec book

Literacy is a fundamental human right for all. It opens the door to the enjoyment of other human rights, greater freedoms, and global citizenship.

Saw a patient today - male, 30s, presented to his GP with severe anxiety and no other symptoms.

GP somehow tested for coeliac disease which came back strongly positive. TSH, Hb, ferritin all normal. Anxiety improved after gluten free diet.

Has anyone else heard of this?

A journey inside the human heart.
From the left atrium through the mitral valve into the left ventricle, past the aortic valve and sinuses of Valsalva, and into the coronary arteries and ascending aorta.
Don’t miss the beautiful chordae tendineae.

Whoever created this Premier League masterpiece of a sound deserves a pay rise every season.

The sound alone makes you feel alive and even more passionate about football. ❤️😭

A patient on longstanding omeprazole was admitted with severe fatigue. What do you think we found?

[@luphumlongcayisa @luphumlongcayis]

At some point we have to confront an uncomfortable truth that South Africa has a drinking problem, a drug problem and a gambling problem. The fact that international drug syndicates have found South Africa to be such a lucrative market should trouble us. Markets exist because there is demand. We cannot speak only about supply while refusing to confront consumption. The booming trade in counterfeit alcohol tells its own story. It exists because there are millions willing to buy it. The explosion of online gambling is no accident either. Almost every billboard, every sporting code, every social event seems to carry the branding of a betting company because they know they are advertising to a nation that gambles excessively so.

We spend far too much time blaming dealers and traffickers, while avoiding the harder conversation about ourselves. Why do we drink so much? Why have we taken to drugs so much? Why are we such unrepentant gamblers?

No industry pours billions into a market that isn’t addicted to its product. We are ADDICTS!

Until we are honest about the scale of our addiction to alcohol, drugs and gambling, we will continue treating symptoms while the disease thrives and mutates.

Please return people's money with the same smile you borrowed it with. 😏

Being financially stable requires a level of selfishness most people won’t understand.

If every emergency becomes your responsibility, your future becomes the sacrifice.

Protecting your money isn’t a lack of compassion. It’s a form of self respect.

Did you know June is Men’s Health Month?
For men living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, this is a timely reminder that IBD care should go beyond the gut, including prevention, vaccines, sexual health, mental health, cancer awareness, and long term wellness.
