Yes Jo all those years we’ve been prescribing it and we didn’t know it had to be approved by @MattHancock
Replying to @MattHancock
Holy 💩! I’ve been prescribing an unapproved medication all this time? Also worth citing the NNT, which is 8, and the fact that in covid-19 where the patient is not requiring oxygenation support, it could lead to harm...

This is so right
Medicine is an art and a science. Watching how a patient walks into the room and the expression on their face gives me 100 non-verbal clues as to their state of health and mind. Telephone clinics have their place but don’t replace clincial skills.

Just riding through Bournville and spotted two kids, Mary and Matthew, protesting outside the police station by themselves. Figured I'd give them a boost. (made them call their mum for permission first) #BlackLivesMattterUK

Karl Friston and Karol Sikora are not experts in this field, or any related field. It shows. I strongly suggest ignoring them both.

Exactly, where are all the female consultants’ shoes? (And no I would never wear those Skechers)
Now need to add in "female shoes of acute med take"

If anything does for Cummings, it will be the stories of other people's endurance. The unattended funerals. The unvisited parents. The struggles to look after our kids while we were sick. Every family in the land has paid a price. And he sees it all as being somehow beneath him.

He must know a lot of Cabinet secrets
Cummings’ wife’s sister LIVES IN LONDON. His closest aide LIVES 2 STREETS AWAY IN LONDON. This is such bullsh*t.

👏👏👏love working with u
For all the criticisms and cynicism’s of @NightingaleLDN, many of which were fair, there is no doubt that it was a triumph of cohesion and collaboration of pan-London multiprofessional NHS staff. It’s the people that make the NHS great and I met some of the best it has to offer.
