Was recently invited to YouTube HQ in London, the @wearfigs team was also present, who kindly provided us with embroidered scrubs - even as a GP I’ll be able to use, as I often wear them in clinic

The best part…dedicated pen pocket!! (I’m sure pens in clinic have legs!!! 🖊️ 💨

How did prehistoric humans, when food was scarce, deal with their offspring, sitting in their Ikea high chairs, throwing perfectly good food on the floor??

It’s not that I necessarily mind having a shadow, but I don’t think this is going to necessarily work out well for you!

I saw this today, and thought it was fantastic

I think it is something I will look to initiate at work!

😂😂 we have reached the “monkey see, monkey do” stage of parenting

I’m in the kitchen, and notice I’ve left garden gate open, which SLAMS in the wind

“RATS!!” I exclaim start to run outside. Behind me I hear a 13 month old going “WRATS! WRATS!” 😂😂😂

Even when applied last minute!!! 😂😂 #breastfeeding #paeds #painrelief

Santa has been seen riding his Nepalese Rhino!!

Which only means one thing… Christmas has finally landed in the Drs Gill residence!

In all seriousness, these little family legends / traditions are for me the BEST thing about Christmas

What traditions mean Christmas has arrived in your home?

Brother and sister kittens are finally relaxing away from the underside of the couch, and the biggest, most timid, most grumpy cat, is FINALLY deigning to accept ear scratches

Allow me to clear something up, since you are new here. I don’t care how tragically your backstory is; or how much you howl. If the baby is in bed, and she’s in the bath.

The kitchen table is MY domain. So sit down and purr, or get back under the couch!!

One of the things that I love most about expedition medicine, is the various consultation rooms you get to use

And sometimes the word room, is stretched within an inch of its life!!

I can reassure all! The red stuff on his head is blood, I’d never accidentally get paint on his head!!

Successful trip to Warhammer World

Said with a lot of care, as I often get Doctors.net quizzes wrong, in stupid ways… but this is an interesting split in number of people getting an anaphylaxis question correct!

Doctor: “Please describe your headache”

Patient: “It’s hard to put into words”

Doctor: “Can you try give me an impression of what you feel?”

Patient:”Hold on…”

Visiting today to see what is possible when you own the information pipe

#misinformation in health is perhaps one of our biggest health problems, the question is, like many health problems, might it be preventable??

Any recommendation for a runners belt?

I’m thinking if the Camelbak, but honestly I’m concerned that as I can’t tighten it, it might become lose on a run

Also ideally so phone doesn’t bounce

Any thoughts? #fitness #running #run

So I’ve been asked to briefly hold the baby, which has significantly impacted on my typing, so I’ve opted to try dictation again - it’s not great, particularly when it catches you sing/talking to the baby 🤣🤣

Change my mind:

COPD inhalers are the worst of all of our medications. Which is why there are so many varieties, as nothing is GREAT

Unlike ACEi for example, where your option is ramipril… unless you are going off piste with lisinopril.

Merry Medical Christmas everyone!!

Is it just me or does the yeti in the Santa’s Grotto have splinter haemorrhages??

Has he been subcontracted by elves to make Christmas toys and been a bit clumsy with his fingers, or has he got a Festive #Endocarditis brewing??

Someone checks him for murmurs!!!
