"The hard truth about underfunding palliative care is that people who are at their most vulnerable – the dying – suffer more pain, more indignity, less choice & less autonomy than they might have." Incredibly, only 30% of hospice care is NHS funded - a national travesty. Please read my piece in today’s @guardian.

Who said there’re no validated outcome biomarkers in IPF? Analysis of 1280 (‼️) IPF patients confirms that ⬆️⬆️ baseline plasma MMP7 & CCL18 are predictive of ⬆️⬆️ mortality. 👏🏼👏🏼 Drs Randall, Bauer & team for great use of data from negative trial publications.ersnet.org/cont…

More than a dozen Israeli soldiers spoke to ITV for their new documentary Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, about how their army’s two-year campaign in Gaza involved shooting unarmed Palestinians en masse, using teenagers as human shields, and flattening entire neighborhoods without pretext of any threat. One soldier recalls a man on a roof hanging his washing. A tank brigade 700 meters away decided to label him a “spotter” with no evidence of threat, and blew up half the residential tower, killing and injuring many civilians. Another remembers two teenage boys quietly pushing a cart, and Israeli soldiers deciding to shoot one in the head, adding: “If they walk too fast, they’re suspicious. If they walk too slow, they’re suspicious. They’re plotting something… If you want to, you can always find a reason to incriminate someone. If I wanted to, I could incriminate the entire Strip.” “Eli,” another soldier, said his commander reported their unit killed 112 “terrorists” at the end of their deployment— before admitting only one was even suspected of being armed. Soldiers said they were ordered to “ignore international law” and told to “take revenge on them all.”

People don’t realize how safe and effective acetaminophen is for pain and fever. By scaring people away from Tylenol, fevers will either go untreated (dangerous, especially for young children and fetuses) or NSAIDs will take its place, which carry much more significant side effects, like stomach ulcers or kidney injury. It’s not hyperbole to say the president yelling at people not to take this medication will lead to deaths.

Trump: DON’T TAKE TYLENOL. There is no downside. You will be uncomfortable, it won't be as easy

As it becomes more difficult to breathe, the energy used in order to get air into the lungs can result in fatigue, low mood, & weight loss. Eating becomes more difficult. Standing up from a sitting position can feel like a workout. PF affects more than just your lungs 🥺
