Adolescent males dont need: 1. To be told their masculinity is "toxic". 2. To be banned from social media. 3. To have their feelings condemned or dismissed. Listen to them, be proud of them, and love them as males. Then they'll become the men we want them to be. 4/4 #Adolescence

Pleased to have this up on bioRxiv! It was borne of my obsession with the idea of immune profiling to identify antigens in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), and while this hasn't yet been peer reviewed we think we can prove it is feasible. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/โ€ฆ

Anyone who questions @ShaunLintern journalistic integrity probably needs to take a long hard look at themselves and probably have a bit of a break from tweeting.

OK so, prompted by the team at @openprescribing I had a look at some new data sources on NHS hospital prescribing. A quick and dirty analysis is here: policyskeptic.blogspot.com/2โ€ฆ ...

Always nice to contribute to the evidence base to say #POCUS is quick, accurate and reliable when used in real life 3 point DVT scanning similar to departmental scan for identification of DVT, even in relative novices users Link here: acutemedjournal.co.uk/point-โ€ฆ (paywalled-sorry)

If you're a medical registrar or you've been one within the last 5 years, please take a few minutes to respond to the survey below about experiences of sexism within the profession. @GeriatricJnr @z_kantor @scarlettmcnally @doc_charlie_ @friederike90 smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Experienโ€ฆ
If the energy and zeal directed toward this was instead put to demanding action on workforce, mental health, patient safety etc we might actually get somewhere. This is a gift for a govt so vulnerable on all those issues!

.Dr @GeriatricJnr describes lived experiences of everyday sexism for med regโ€™s. Big disconnect between the @RCP descriptions of them as โ€˜senior decision makersโ€™ and their daily experiences being called โ€˜loveyโ€™ โ€˜darlingโ€™ โ€˜the lady doctor โ€˜. โ€˜92% of respondents witnessed sexismโ€™

A classic of the โ€œhow hard can it be?โ€ genre from The Telegraph in which a journalist heads to pick vegetables โ€” starting two hours later than the usual crew and concludes that while itโ€™s exhausting it would be worth it for the money even though she is just playing at it.
