How the NHS saved my daughter:
0800 - call to GP
0910 - call back
1000 - face to face, GP makes 3 in 10000 diagnosis
1130 - A&E then admission
1630 - consultant confirms diagnosis
2100 - specialised treatment costing £100/gram started
Dr Ahmed Sabra, a British national and Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust is stranded in Gaza.
His wife and children who were with him have been allowed entry to Egypt but had to leave him at the border as his was not granted entry. He has been sent back into Gaza, where his life is constantly at stake.
The traumatic experiences he has had over the last 4 weeks are unimaginable to us in the UK - there are too many to list in this post. His daughter’s online post is attached. I cannot imagine the pain they felt at the border; not knowing if they would ever meet again. Simply heartbreaking.
He is a British national. One who has served his country’s National Health Service for over a decade. He has given his all through a pandemic, and continues to provides first class emergency care at all hours of day and night to those who suffer heart attacks in West Yorkshire.
After all his efforts, he needs his country now more than ever before. Our dear friend and esteemed colleague must be evacuated from Gaza NOW, be reunited with his family and allowed to return home safely. I urge the United Kindgom to act with the highest priority and if anyone can provide him any assistance I would be most grateful to them.

Public service announcement for managers and coaches: you can't judge effort by results.
Inconsistent performance doesn't mean people aren't trying their best. It often means they're doing their best in the face of turbulence.
In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug.
The past two editions of Arnold @Schwarzenegger’s newsletter has featured a quote from me and link to some recent research on CGMs: https://t.co/V4RC3pY9l7
Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn’t be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself “I’ll just get it done this weekend.” Review Parkinson’s Law and force yourself to cram within tight hours so your per-hour productivity doesn’t fall through the floor. Focus, get the critical few done, and get out. E-mailing all weekend is no way to spend the little time you have on this planet.
Many people see hard work as a sign of virtue. But a strong work ethic doesn't guarantee strong ethics.
Instead of attaching worth to the effort people expend, we should prize the values they exemplify.
Character is a function of generosity and integrity, not industriousness.
