Top tip to stop your nose becoming red and sore when you’ve got the lurgy…apply Savlon every time/every few times you blow 🤧
It’s a bit tedious, but it works.

It’s going to take at least 3 showers to wash away the torment of today’s leg ulcer clinic…

It may no longer be Christmas, but it’s still the perfect time of year (and weather) for a spooky tale and these Charles Dickens Ghost Stories read by David Suchet are a wonderful listen 📚👻🥰

Received confirmation of funding this week to start asthma training, as respiratory is going to be my ‘big’ specialist area. Hoping it might also lead to becoming a prescriber at some point 🤞🏼
