@Jimmyocx3 This is an amazing story Jimmy. While at Ajax Bay after Goose Green I was tasked with obtaining blood from PoWs in order to treat the many Argentinian casualties. Many volunteered and we expressly did not use it for British casualties.

@NatalieAOLeary Hi, just followed you, feel free to DM

A beautiful tribute to his father, my uncle, written by my cousin.

@WesselyS Congratulations, it looks like such a happy day and it must be if it gets you into a suit and tie and looking so smart.

[Michael von Bertele @vonBertele]

And my cousin.

That's my older sister marching at the Olympics (with white mask). She is the manager of the swim contingent. Again, so very very proud of her.

@fmbl Reluctantly!

@virginmedia I did, he was so convincing, but what is really suspicious is that he called just after I had logged a fault and he knew about it. Has your technical team been compromised?

[Michael von Bertele @vonBertele]

Great to here the sane voice of psychiatry and a great ally and friend @WesselyS on #DesertIslandDiscs.

@DrKLMcKeogh Thank you Katie x

I presented at 1700hrs y’day with abdominal pain of 4 hours onset, urgent laparascopic appendicectomy at 0130hrs, home by 1700Hrs today. Some parts of NHS still work brilliantly when you need it. Huge thanks to @bigbalddr and team & the most fabulous staff @SalisburyNHS

[Michael von Bertele @vonBertele]

@ClareGerada Wonderful news, richly deserved. Congratulations from us all.

[Michael von Bertele @vonBertele]

@Sapere_vivere That is so encouraging Bruce. Succesful cancer treatment needs multiple handovers of care so great to get feedback on how @SalisburyNHS is managing it.

@armycritcare I thinknit’s a sharpening device for a penknife.

[Michael von Bertele @vonBertele]

@ProfKarolSikora A huge blow for patients suffering from cancer who get approved by the NHS proton panel for treatment that will save their life, but then told they can’t have it because they can’t travel abroad. It is available in this country. @therutherford_c @ProfKarolSikora @CRUK_Policy

@eamonnbutler Where is debate taking place about the extent to which we must be compelled vs decisions we should be allowed to make for ourselves. The basis on which we might make those decisions for ourselves needs just as much scientific advice, but we must retain freedom to make them.

[Michael von Bertele @vonBertele]

@eamonnbutler It’s time for the government to acknowledge that it does not own or have sole responsibility for managing all risks. They may want to protect us from the nearest one, but that ignores the downstream ones. They have ignored the individual risk appetite, for one’s self and others.

The world's last farmhouse Lancashire cheese maker @mrskirkhamslanc is in dire straits. They normally sell 1,000 cheeses a week, last week they sold 13 cheeses. I interviewed Grham Kirkham. Please RT my plea to support our artisan British cheesemakers. https://t.co/ZlEjcdctWJ

@Me_JennyWatson Thanks Jenny, all well. Hope you are too.
