I’ve been a little out of sorts and upset today. Just came to bed to find my darling girl’s prized possessions and this note from her #loved – at Thornliebank, Scotland

Pretty shocking to see this right in the middle of a shopping mall in London.
Seeing people on IV drips who paid £200 for things like "immunity booster"
With no evidence it works and a real risk of IV line infection
Just the normalisation of quackery and ripping people off

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
My dad’s funeral will be in the afternoon of Wednesday 17th of January. There will be a service at Monkton & Prestwick North Parish church in Prestwick, then on to Masonhill crematorium in Ayr. Timings to be confirmed as have the details of the funeral tea.
In what has been the hardest week of my life my daughter has been the shining light. She put this in the book of remembrance in the hospital sanctuary without us knowing. So much comfort from Elaine Hough @HopeAyrshire #grief #lossofaparent

@VodafoneUK You say you have no problems, many people do. No calls to my number as shows it out of service. You say EE have problems and engineers are working on it, but it's Vodaphone that has the trouble.

The Prime Minister blaming Junior doctors for hospital waiting lists is one of the most despicable things he’s said
& for the record he’s offered them a crappy real terms pay cut
If like me you stand with the junior doctors who sacrificed so much to keep us safe RT this widely

I love animals
But let's get this absolutely straight
We have horses, penguins, dogs, alpacas on the wards & it's supposed to be "cute"
Yet we have infection control policies about watches, rings & scrubs
It's one or the other
A little less hypocrisy will serve us-all-better
This is Charley on ward 10B @enherts . Thanks to Jane and our volunteer team. Lots of very excited patients and staff.

Today it has been reported that during our first round of action in England mortality rate was 11.1% above the 5 year average.
What they haven’t reported was that in Wales, where no strike action took place, mortality rate was 14% above the 5 year average. 1/3
🔴 Junior doctors have been accused of putting “politics above patient safety” as figures showed excess deaths almost tripled after their strikes.

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.
The more followers we have, the louder we can shout for all the NHS staff who are fighting against the Government right now.
