🚨 THE MESH SCANDAL: WHAT PARLIAMENT ADMITTED IN 2019 (AND WHY IT STILL MATTERS TODAY) thread 🧵
In May 2019, Owen Smith, then Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Surgical Mesh Implants, gave damning oral evidence detailing the structural failures of the medical establishment. Seven years later, his testimony remains a precise roadmap of the state’s failure to protect injured women.
Here are the four core truths from his testimony that the Government is still trying to ignore:

Train Hopscotch in a Wheelchair:
I had to bunny-hop over the side of the ramp to get off the @LNER 1S13 at Newcastle just now,
Because it stopped with Coach M passenger door opposite a pillar.
Difficult and dangerous, @DavidHorne.

Yesterday afternoon my wife took the twins out with her sisters for a meal in Archway, North London whilst I took Henry to to the pub with our friends. My daughter Darla had a fit (febrile convulsion) whilst they was walking towards the restaurant on the pavement outside Home Bargains. A young couple helped my wife and her sister. And took them to whittington hospital straight away in their car. My wife didn’t get a chance to say thank you properly as she run in whilst my baby still having a fit. Darla is now stable and doing well and back home. But I really want to thank this couple. They are absolute Legends and hero’s. Can you all please help me find this lovely young couple who helped my family. I want to thank them and treat them as they took Sinéad and baby Darla to the hospital very quickly and if they wasn’t there it could have been another story. Darla is her happy little self this morning and back to normal. Thanks you every one and happy Sunday. Now both twins have had a febrile convulsion, they are extremely scary. Thank you to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Whittington Hospital. If you know this couple please can you give me their number or email. Thank you. Please share or rt. Bosh❤️

I rarely post personal stuff but I really need some help please. Yesterday afternoon, we came home as masked burglars were leaving our home. They stole lots of things of huge sentimental value; jewellery that belonged to parents & grandparents, my late Dad’s watch, papers… /2

Moral of the story - never dismiss a colleague’s sixth sense, a battle-hardened end product that has been refined through many years of experience. This gut feeling outperforms any blood test or warning score.
This mantra saved me from a near miss today 🙏

We're here in London battling the weather to raise awareness five years on from medical cannabis being available to prescribe. Children and their families are forgotten. Please @10DowningStreet it's time you sort this failed policy! #westandwithyou @MedcanFamily

Thread: Went out to dinner earlier in Bristol. The restaurant staff initially tried to refuse my guide dog. I explained the law and told them about the equality act. The manager had apparently never heard about it.
ALT Be My AI: The picture shows a man standing in a grassy area with a dog. The man is wearing a grey t-shirt with the words "Ben Sherman" written in blue, along with black trousers and black shoes with a yellow Nike logo. He has short dark hair and is looking at the camera. Next to him is a dog, which appears to be a Labrador, wearing a guide dog harness. The dog is looking at the camera as well. Behind them, there are houses with a stone wall and trees. The sky is a light blue, indicating that it might be early evening.

NHS Scotland is funding an RCT to explore the effects of CBD on pelvic pain in #endometriosis.
Researchers hope it will lead to a UK-wide study on cannabinoids & endometriosis-associated pain, potentially paving the way for NHS access. @AnandaPlc
