Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Keir Starmer appealing to people's rationality & respect for the rule of law the morning after Donald Trump appealed to the polar opposites. Feels like a moment.

Is there really nothing to which the GMC won't stoop to ensure physician associates can work as doctors, despite having no medical degree?

This extraordinary piece reveals how the GMC tried to dilute new royal college rules preventing PAs from seeing patients solo. 🧵
