@drkeithsiau @8O7TEPVybIxEZ9U Depends whose they are and what they show…..

@drkeithsiau @Mota55em Nah. If there is suspected pathology examine. Don’t leave it to an endoscopist in a poorly lit room. Our endoscopists are great but many don’t have training/experience in PR.

@Mikeachim You can still see the petrified wood from the Forrest on the land bridge at Hastings at low tide (I’m told)

@TMedicalpost For so many things the medicine is also a poison. Thinking radiotherapy/chometherapy/digoxin(digitalis). Also, we need the venom to make anti-venom.

@StagecoachSE Is it serving this stop tomorrow? Is it going to Hawkhurst?

[Simon Shaw💙 @rolloofbraye]

@StagecoachSE what’s going on with the 349 bus? Simply didn’t turn up at Sandhurst (0735). Very cold day to be waiting for a bus that’s not arriving. Is the 0945 running?

[Simon Shaw💙 @rolloofbraye]

@StagecoachSE The 0945 didn’t go to Sandhurst. Is there a problem with the route?

@drkeithsiau I am individualise mine for the person/circumstances, ranging from ‘ta’ to ‘sincerely’ and ‘love to the hamsters’

Vitamin D (2000 IU/day) reduced advanced cancer risk (metastatic or fatal) by 17% over 5 years

The effect was most pronounced for those with BMI <25: advanced cancer was reduced by 38%

@drkeithsiau But weight loss is a risk factor for gallstones, so not surprising. Common problem post bariatric surgery

[Simon Shaw💙 @rolloofbraye]

@StagecoachSE no 349 in Sandhurst (the swan)at 0735 this morning? No notice, just no bus. I am yet again very late in for work!

[Simon Shaw💙 @rolloofbraye]

@drkeithsiau Not intentionally, or often….
