Clinicians in Stockport are now able to request ALT specifically for statin monitoring, rather than full LFT panel. One of our @ViaductCare doctors Dr Al-Gailani and Cheadle GP @PuneetChadha1 wrote this paper to inform implementation. We are really proud!

[Thread] yesterday I tested +ve for covid19 the day before due to be vaccinated with rapid onset of symptoms. Can honestly say I’ve never felt more unwell - high temp, each inspiration doesn’t feel like I’ve oxygenated effectively, etc etc - I’m young fit and healthy.

People this weekend might be getting infected without realising, spreading it through their “Xmas bubble” next week, with the virus circulating within households during the relaxation. Pls think hard about your christmas plans esp. if involves the vulnerable- is it worth it?!

@Kaypink1964 @DrAmirKhanGP I agree he totally did the right thing. I just think if I was sat on a train and someone pointed out a ?skin cancer and I found they’d then posted the encounter on Twitter I’d feel a bit uncomfotable. Unless the patient has consented to that ofcourse which is totally different.

@ChrisWillx but I guess you're not dismissing climate change or the conscious effort by humans to use less plastic etc [if anything to help protect other animals who share our natural world] you're highlighting the relative risk compared to far less-prioritised threats to existence.
