A not-so-gentle reminder of why I'm not going back to Tw*tter.

For f*cks sake.

Ludovico Einaudi - Beautiful and deeply moving, as always

Music from the soul, to the soul.

Soothing music.
Healing music.

WHAT has happened to the international outcry about Gaza?
Eclipsed by the sh*t show that is 🇺🇸🍊
Genocide happening right before our eyes.

Unbearable to acknowledge.
Unthinkable not to.

Fabulous Eid treats from a wonderful Consultant colleague (and his wife!)

Love the opportunities to share cultures you get working in a hospital environment!

I witnessed these asylums as late as 2012: Older adults with lifetimes of institutionalusation in St Loman's in Mullingar, and adults with Intellectual Disabilities in St Peter's in Castlepollard.

The word "grim" does not begin to describe it.

It's World Delirium Awareness Day!

Delighted to launch our new info leaflet at TUH Critical Care, supporting families to talk to those with #delirium. Delirium can be a confusing & frightening experience for all.

Thanks to @nydahlpeter.bsky.social et al for sharing 🙏

Amazing interview on #TommyTiernanShow. Jordan & Cian Adams, who lost their mum to #FTD at 52, now face their own journeys as gene +ve themselves; spreading awareness & raising funds.

Unbelievably cruel condition, but the boys spreading light nonetheless

Taking some time out.
To be.
To breathe.
To wander.

Care for the self is critical when your time is largely given to care of others.

Small moments.
Days away.

Notice when they present, and embrace them 🍃

"... talking about death won't make it happen. But not talking about it robs us of choices and moments that will not come again."

Compassionate words from @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social

Unfortunately, wisdom that can be overlooked in healthcare all too often.
