Physicians assistants upset that their work opportunities/over-reaching have been curtailed by the Leng review; but PA union was all too dismissive of these same impacts when they affected doctors due to PAs being rolled out across the NHS.

In Germany kids are given a schultüte on their first day at school - essentially a Christmas stocking of goodies. My Scotland-born daughter was counting her lucky stars for those Köln roots this morning.

I already had a pretty high opinion of the human placenta, but I’ve just found out it’s used in a cream to help severe burns to heal. 🙏

Working with a colleague to start a Balint-style group for obstetrics & gynae trainees to discuss the significant challenges and emotions in their line of work. Anyone part of such a group who could share reflections on what works well? How to make space in busy surgical rotas? Opening up the room?

Good news from Gates. Would have been even better if there were recognition of the conditions that affect women differently and disproportionately when compared to men (from autoimmunity to mental illness) as well as distinct women's health areas.

Meirion Thomas is a media favourite because he’s unashamedly misogynistic and makes his point as if “it’s what everyone is thinking.” Can we retire him from public opinion pls.

Love seeing differences in medical notation. This US semi-standardised way of documenting blood results is so efficient (below, friend trained in US now in Scotland). Never seen anyone in the UK use a ‘fish bone’ structure. Have you?

End of night shifts at the hospital. The last one ever. Nobody is happier than my daughter. And this is waiting at home 🥰

So much wrong with this headline and picture. This guy has a full time job and does his share, or more, at home. That’s not unmasculine or unattractive. It’s quite the opposite.

Realising your dentist has a side hustle in Botox when filling out their annual forms. 🩼 I imagine this is now utterly normal.

I haven’t heard women - in my personal circle or patients - say this, and really wasn’t aware intense pain is a problem DURING a c-section, but how horrific for those affected. The Retrievals was phenomenal and I’d expect this will be too. www.nytimes.com/article/seri...
