Rishi Sunak: not the son of a toolmaker
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is misleading and missing important context. The full unedited version of the clip shows the woman with him saying 'use this bit' to which Rishi Sunak replies 'sideways?' and she says 'yes.' twitter.com/ionewells/stat…

I submitted an FOI request to the GMC asking them about the tax they pay. Turns out, the GMC do not pay tax. They class doctors' fees as charity. They take £500/yr from doctors, pay zero tax on it, and use it to give their staff £250k salaries and private healthcare.

You can't operate as a gardener without a big 4x4 apparently... 100kg in the front (which will also take a lawnmower). Even more with the trailer. (which was loaded with rubble when I saw it!)

"So the activated C1 cleaves C4 into C4a and C4b, which binds to the microbial surface. C4b then binds C2, which is cleaved by C1s into C2a and C2b, forming the C4b2b complex, also known as C3 convertase, which cleaves C3 into C3a and C3b."

I paraphrase but ‘The reason we check BP on hospital inpatients is to monitor for *hypotension*, which can herald many medical problems. Asymptomatic hypertension should not be treated with extra STAT anti-hypertensives as this is associated with *harm*’

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. ja.ma/3NXGLWV

Reposted upon reflection and have blurred out semi identifiable info. We can do better than this. Please do not name the trust if you saw my previous tweet. Have contacted the trust in question.

“If doctors aren’t happy with their pay, they should get a different job” Yeah, we are. This is the most striking graph I’ve seen so far regarding the retention of doctors. Full pay restoration or watch the graph turn blue

Interesting study, is ODS rare enough to change clinical practice?
NEJM Evidence@NEJMEvidence23 Mar 2023
Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) following correction of hyponatremia was studied in 22,858 hospitalizations. There were 12 cases of ODS identified, only half of which occurred following rapid correction of serum sodium. #IMTwitter #NeuroTwitter

My dad died on Christmas Eve. He waited for an ambulance for 3 hours before it was too late. He was only 58. I’ve fought my whole life to stop this kind of thing from happening. I admit defeat. It’s over. We’ve lost. The Tories have what they wanted.

Christmas trivial pursuit annoyance. Originally got annoyed at this question because I don't see the kidney as a gland. but it got me thinking. Is the kidney a gland? It does secrete some hormones. #askrenal
