Meanwhile, back at the beeb… 3 leaders in the NHS; 2 frontline clinicians and one no longer practicing clinical medicine. Guess which one gets Dr in their title? 🤔 Of course it’s just another honest mistake… Sort it out @BBCNews @ShamimUmarji @StGeorgesTrust deserve better

Barack and I believe that everyone has a story worth telling—and Descendant is a story that demands to be told. This film chronicles when the last known ship from Africa, the Clotilda, arrived with enslaved Africans to the United States. I hope you'll watch Descendant on Netflix.

On Nov 3, 1817, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 princess Charlotte went into labour. Her obstetrician, Sir Richard Croft, diagnosed transverse lie. After 50 hrs, both mother and baby died. Croft was so distraught that he killed himself on Feb 13, 1818. This became known as the ‘triple obstetrical tragedy’.

As Ann Richards said, "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels." Here's me in Cartagena while I was there for a meeting as Secretary of State. Keep dancing, @marinsanna.

When I fractured my wrist aged 11, I recall my cast being cut by this saw. The attendant demonstrated how his own skin didn’t tear - which didn’t assuage my fears! Today, I use many Stryker instruments. Thanks Dr Homer #Stryker! “If your tools don’t work, make ones that do!”
In 1945, American orthopaedic surgeon Homer Stryker (1894-1980) created the Plaster Cast Cutter after noticing that a broken saw blade moved his skin back and forth, not cutting it. The original oscillating blade was powered by a malted milk mixer.

Franz Weitlaner (1872-1944), was an Italian-born Austrian surgeon who invented an ‘automatischer wundspreizer’ (automatic wound spreader) that can be opened with one hand. He created this as he was the only physician in Ottenthal, Austria, and lacked surgical assistance!
