#Rheumatology is one of our newer services & MD Dr John Etherington CBE has been leading it since day one. Its great to see that we've already been able to assist with arthritic conditions such as #osteoarthritis & fibromyalgia. #rheumatoidarthritis #review #trustpilot

Inspired: Dan Baldassarre (@evornithology) submitted a joke science article to a predatory journal, to see if they'd actually publish it. They did. The paper is called "What's the Deal with Birds?" and it's hilarious. 😂 irispublishers.com/sjrr/pdf/…

While in the covid-climate, is it corona, or is it a cold or flu? #COVIDー19 – at London, England
#SocialDistancingNow #Trumpvirus #StayTheFHome I’m sick but going out. Social distancing? I use the Larry David method, by wearing a MAGA hat. The educated stay away, the idiots give me a high five. Just doing my part.

People at LOW risk for infection have a huge role to play in #flatteningthecurve - their behavior change matters and can have a greater impact than people at high risk. We need to practice #SocialDistancingNow - If you are young & healthy: do your part by staying apart!
Replying to @evokerr

So excited to win a 2020 Churchill Fellowship. A grant awarded by The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. I’ll travel across Australia, exploring how sport can improve lives in mental health services. Very grateful 🇦🇺 😀 #ChurchillFellow2020 @_ukactive @wcmtuk

Sex refers to biology, gender to social roles & self-identification. Transgender women in female sport is unfair, & unethical. Esp if woman like @caster800m are discriminated against for hyperandrgenism. ...may as well throw in the towel ladies, some bloke will win @BeerNickTri

An interesting one for a Friday afternoon. Fall backwards onto a stone floor, swelling noticed 5 days later, pan settled. Soft and fluctuatant swelling, non tender. Hip, SIJ and lumbar spine exam otherwise normal. Morel-Lavellee lesion overlying gluteus maximus
