Psychiatrist Allan House was permitted, like me, to speak to the assisted dying committee - but only after it first tried to ban @rcpsych.bsky.social’s testimony.
Pls read his letter.
How is the committee remotely serious about protecting the vulnerable if it dismisses the doctors who treat them?

The most rapidly rising group in UK healthcare delivery, are employed on contracts that were never negotiated by a union.
More than half of international medical graduates are employed on such a contract.
If this seems like exploitation, that is because it absolutely is.
This is scandalous.

Hello, #Bluesky!
The severe pitting in this skull is the direct result of tertiary syphilis, which was fatal before the discovery of penicillin. In the final stage, the disease attacks a person's skeletal structure. This 19th-century skull is from the Medical Museion in Copenhagen. #histmed

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/
