I am a senior psychiatry resident and consider myself to have been quite deskilled in a complex medical assessment like this. If I saw this out-of-hours in a psych inpatient setting I would be calling the medical reg.

In any case, the assessment needs a professional who has been adequately trained and who has the right experience.

Paracetamol tablets need time to work. Needs a comprehensive assessement, which is challenging in severe dementia.

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.

I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.

Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?

Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.

Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.

None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.

You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.

Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.

Think. Before they take everything.

@daisyldixon Hope you’ve got some good rest! I know what you mean - I had surgery and time off afterwards and it felt like a much-needed holiday 🙃

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@daisyldixon @soylebisakinlik 😅much better to be a Tab ♥️

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@CaraLisette Oooof that’s a lot! Sending best wishes, and hope that it all goes as smoothly as possible!

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@DrAllyLouks @DouglysiumArt One meaningful text every two years?! I’d respond in longform handwritten letter. Maybe with scented ink…✍🏼

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@ellafox_m Absolutely, I can’t believe I only read it this year.

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@juliet_turner6 Beautiful

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@ChrisKindaReads Discovered your accounts recently and, wow! Your enjoyment is so infectious, it’s as though I’m living reading these books for the first time again by watching your reactions ♥️ and you’re inspiring me to read books I haven’t yet.

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@gar_mcguigan Thinking of you, Gar. ♥️

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@DrAllyLouks @sacredrain AI also changed your face - it’s taken out the sparkle from your eyes, and changed thine quizzical brow

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@BettyBlue168 Pob’s pretty cute tho 🥰

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@juliaisobela @DrAllyLouks Such a good book - and yes agree that the protagonist not having a scent is such a creepy, disturbing, genius bit of writing

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@juliaisobela Absolutely. There’s no situation where it doesn’t feel traumatising ♥️

[Sharon Yang @sxtyang]

@juliaisobela I also feel very irritated when people misuse “sectioning” almost as any sort of psychiatric admission - going somewhere and asking someone to place you under section is a total oxymoron.

As the professional assessing, there’s a real sadness, even when it’s right♥️
