Bugger 😞 My cat of 17 years who I got while in university has died I would love to say he was a good cat, but he was a bossy git. He got shot twice, fought all the foxes, would sleep on my granddad's wheezing chest, demand cuddles then scratch you & I loved him. Jasper

For no reason at all let's talk about someone who is a bit of my #medtwitter hero and was also swole! Neurologist Oliver Sacks wrote "the man who mistook his wife for a hat". A cracking book with really interesting cases

Gotta say, it can be really knackering hearing people saying your job is easy all the time when you and all you colleagues know it's mentally and physically exhausting not to mention extremely complex and difficult most of the time #teamGP

Dear people who sort referrals Please kindly explain to me how the patients BMI will make a difference to anything? If it's a cancer referral you will still have to see them If it's a routine they likely won't be seen for a year so BMI might be different, What's the point?

Something annoying me recently is getting private blood tests then "some are abnormal, please see your GP" If you requested the bloods, YOU should know what you are looking for and YOU should deal with it

I'm going to put it out there: the reason doctors can make complex decisions with new/rare/complex diseases is because of a wealth of background knowledge. You may only need it once, but once matters. The idea that you can pick it up as you go along is foolish.

I’m putting it out there: I don’t believe it takes 5 years to get a medical degree. And I do believe that you can learn on the job if you already have a clinical role. Doctors should be honest with themselves. Was every minute of your degree spent in learning/working? Was
