The strikes this week have not been caused by doctors. Theyā€™ve been caused by a Government that has taken healthcare professionals for granted for far too long. Please RT if you can see through the Government spin and back the doctors. All they want is fair pay.

Remember F.A.S.T for the signs of a stroke. Face ā€“ has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile? Arms ā€“ can they raise both arms and keep them there? Speech ā€“ is it slurred? Time ā€“ itā€™s time to call 999. When stroke strikes remember to Act F.A.S.T. nhs.uk/actFAST

One of the biggest triggers for poor mental health during the pandemic is following the incessantly fearful and gloomy news coverage. So hereā€™s a photo of a cat and some pants. Have a great weekend.

When I was a jr dr the ward physio suspected a pt had a hip fracture.I was dubious abt doing the hip X-ray she wanted as I couldnā€™t believe a whole bunch of drs including the consultant wouldve missed it.But I did.Fracture. She didnā€™t gloat, just gave a satisfied nod. Physios šŸ’™

Lung physio is secret weapon in 65-year-old's coronavirus recovery
