Labour pain is notorious for being one of the worst pains in the world.
Does anyone seriously think we'd be offering sterile water as analgesia if men gave birth?
Women deserve better than this.
This is the diarrheal ward in a pediatric hospital in Peru.
I was there during the height of diarrhea season.
It was totally empty after being overflowing a few years before.
The difference?
The rotavirus vaccine.

There’s also the interesting question of whether you can have a war if one side doesn’t have an airforce; navy; standing army; electricity; food; or water; and is a bunch of kids
every Instagram infographic is like “killing people is bad and also not killing people is good and also I agree with the right people and also, most importantly, I am a good person”
@alexeades1@hatetorycuts I have to disagree with this. When my husband killed himself many people very quickly stopped mentioning him, probably out of uncertainty around what to say. It made me feel 1000 times worse, as though people had forgotten him.
.@murdo_fraser I think decriminalising will save lives. I've got decades of personal experience, I've worked front line, I've visited countries around the world learning from best practice, I've buried countless family & friends dead from overdose.
Am I ignorant or simply lying?
@VirginMediaIE I want to cancel my sim only contract. Wait times on the phone are over an hour and then I get cut off. Link to web cancellation form on your website doesn’t lead to a cancellation form. Are you deliberately trying to dissuade people from cancelling??
@FedExEurope parcel coming to me from the UK- £28 charged for postage, import/customs fee paid by myself and the parcel has ended up being returned to sender and emails are being ignored!!
@rocket1414@DRitterMD I had a farmer who told me he had “a cut on his finger”. I removed the tea towel covering his hand…there was no finger. His son arrived an hour later with said finger inside a bag of frozen peas.
@DrAsifQasim@TheDA_UK@HCSANews @BMA_JuniorDocs @TheBMA So sad to see this. I’m sure I saw another story recently about another doctor who worked at this hospital taking their own life. It would make you wonder what the working culture is like there. May he rest in peace.
@fesshole So sorry for you loss. It’s awful to lose someone you love so young. My husband was 34 when he left.I’ve found having a memory box with some of his stuff in it helpful-you can go to and have a look and feel whatever you need to feel whenever you need to feel it. Take care.
