Wow 45 weeks wait to be seen by ENT Speciality team @DCHFT @palsdchft Patient Choice may be the alternative?

Thank you...not @NatWest_Help In Sri Lanka and go to withdraw some cash from cash machine and refused. Go into bank here and again 0. How do you expect us to manage without funds? You told us before we left that everything would be ok with our cards! You need to WhatsApp us.

Type 2 diabetic and fit the eligibility criteria for Mounjaro apart from my skin colour? @DiabetesUK @NHSDorset @wesstreeting

Have to give credit where credit is due. @dobbies thank you to Owermoign management for replacing all my *dead* plants. Here's hoping I get my usual display.

Really disappointed with my selection of Sufinia purchased a week ago @dobbies in Dorset. Pot in my usual way as I do every year and this is them today. £80 for what looks like weeds. Asda or the Range looking good to replace them.

Anyone know who our contact would be with regards to NHS Funded Nursing Care Assessment. @NHSDorset @HwatchDorset @CarersDorset @CarersUK @DorsetCouncilUK

How can the ED at DCH record such when you spend over 4 hours in A&E but never seen? This is my supposedly ED discharge letter.

Due respect to staff @DCHFT but sadly had to discharge myself from a very busy A&E with suspected blood clot on lungs. After 3 hours waiting, then told it could be a further 6/8 hours wait time. Not like my days of working for the NHS. Support our NHS staff @Keir_Starmer

Our last day of basking in the sun in Sri Lanka. Beautiful staff, excellent services, so definitely a return visit on the cards later in the year. Royal Palms Beach Resort. Plus a huge thank you @flysrilankan for getting us here safely. See you onboard tomorrow London bound.

How can airlines justify their price hike for fares when people are looking at alternative flights back to UK. You need to sort this out @Keir_Starmer one airline is usually around £600 return flight now want over £1500 single flight.

Well, thank you @flysrilankan as we arrived in Sri Lanka minus my husband's suitcase. He has advanced cancer and requires many items within his suitcase. Staff here expect him to travel to airport to collect should it arrive. Sad at someone with disabilities being told this.

Meant to add, diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer 2024 after referral to @dch respiratory team when Mestasis on lungs was found. Could advanced PC and lymphedema be linked pre treatment for PC?
Its only taken 7yrs to have hubby diagnosed with lymphedema after constantly being told their is no treatment for such. There may be no cure but there is TREATMENT! Thank you to the lovely nurse specialist @DCHFT Diabetes centre for her care and compassion.

Could have been a serious incident. The @EE contractors runaway truck today. Very lucky escape, could have caused major damage or even injury.

Must be a trial run before @NHSDorset ICB contracts the service to deliver the Mounjaro weight loss programme that's been stalled. Meant to start in Autumn 2025.

Never felt so uncomfortable and threatened on an @EmiratesSupport flight like we were today. So having a cough from advanced prostate cancer (in lungs) had a passenger being abusive and threatening during our flight demanding face masks and we be moved. Had to involve crew in end
