Dr Ahmed Sabra, a British national and Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust is stranded in Gaza. His wife and children who were with him have been allowed entry to Egypt but had to leave him at the border as his was not granted entry. He has been sent back into Gaza, where his life is constantly at stake. The traumatic experiences he has had over the last 4 weeks are unimaginable to us in the UK - there are too many to list in this post. His daughter’s online post is attached. I cannot imagine the pain they felt at the border; not knowing if they would ever meet again. Simply heartbreaking. He is a British national. One who has served his country’s National Health Service for over a decade. He has given his all through a pandemic, and continues to provides first class emergency care at all hours of day and night to those who suffer heart attacks in West Yorkshire. After all his efforts, he needs his country now more than ever before. Our dear friend and esteemed colleague must be evacuated from Gaza NOW, be reunited with his family and allowed to return home safely. I urge the United Kindgom to act with the highest priority and if anyone can provide him any assistance I would be most grateful to them. @RishiSunak @JamesCleverly @SteveBarclay @FCDOGovUK change.org/p/expedite-the…

Anyone amazed by the complete lack of media coverage of the junior doctor strikes next week? A little odd, no?

Metolazone is very useful for severe fluid overload in #HF. Beware new licensed version Xaqua has double potency of unlicensed Metolazone we are used to using- so halve the dose. Be sure which is being prescribed! @GeriSoc @BSHeartFailure heart failure ukclinicalpharmacy.org/wp-content/upl…
