The support for my department, which is under threat of closure, has been overwhelming. But there is now only 2 weeks until the next (and likely final) vote on its future. The petition for support has 42,000 signatures, please help us reach 50,000. change.org/p/university-of-s…

Word of the day is ‘spuddle’ (17th century): to work ineffectively; to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing.

This week is the last of our face to face #anatomy teaching to our medical students. What a massive achievement. To say thank you to our wonderful demonstrators, we've gifted them coasters made by our anatomy suite manager @BooteLeia at @TufftyDesign @UoNLifeSci @MattersAnatomy

Shout out to my fellow 5.30am runner who a) crossed the street before overtaking me, b) turned on his phone torch so I could see him and b) “morning”’d me with a perfect blend of friendly disinterest. Exquisite dude-running-in-the-dark etiquette, my man.

I do feel like this conversation around blood clot risk and the AZ jab doesn't sufficiently register quite how many women are on contraceptive pills with v high blood clot risk already

If Priti Patel doesn’t have to face trial over her expenses then we truly live in a fascist state because it’s not possible to spend £77k on eyebrows. This is blatant money laundering lol

I called one of my patients whose operation has been cancelled by Covid to find she is in a crisis centre after attempting suicide, driven by pain likely to have been relieved by surgery. I am devastated, both for her and the millions waiting for treatment. The NHS is broken.

So I’m not getting a vaccine next week - was feeling weird about why I’d been selected ahead of others so rang GP to check. Turns out they had my height as 6.2cm rather than 6 ft 2, giving me a BMI of 28,000 😂
