Grumpy GP

How to tell if your appointment was cancelled due to a Doctors strike Answer you can’t On a average day in the NHS hospitals cancel 50,000 appts Strikes days affect 11,000 appts, apparently🤔 Blaming the Drs for a broken system is giving NHS Management/Govt the excuse they want

@drkeithsiau Oohhhh

Spare a thought for the one time a ladybird ended up in the colon 🐞

@PiyushRala007 @drkeithsiau What is causing this? Rubbish diet? I think I would try #carnivore before all the other rubbish!

Endoscopic appearance of the stomach of a 16F with lower limb swelling, low albumin and thickened gastric folds on CT. What’s the diagnosis?

@drkeithsiau @24LadyLynda Is that an acknowledgement that inflamed bowel is caused by eating food that damages the bowel? Could that possibly be all the indigestible plant food that behaves like a scouring pad? #carnivoreheals

@24LadyLynda Or is it the knocking of the bowel contents against the inflamed wall that causes this dangly thing?

Finding on colonoscopy. What’s the diagnosis?

@BBCNews Great to call out this poor behaviour. Now, BBC, how about some articles about the bad behaviour of men that say they are women…. I’ll wait . 🤨

@evertonblue76 @BBCNews It’s not

@BBCNews It's a compliment. Christ on a bike 😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@Jack_Lakeland @BBCNews There’s a difference calling someone “hot” which is sexual, and complimenting someone for being beautiful, which is appreciative. Men need to know the difference

@DrHFRyan @BDDunbar I wouldn’t! Luckily none of them show any signs of wanting to be a medical doctor, tho 2 might want to become the other sort, taking after their dad.

@BDDunbar That's lovely! And I'm glad having a GP mum didn't put you off! I'd be thrilled if my two followed in my footsteps.

I've got some big news to share - a thread. (Photo for the algorithm - Eddie is thrilled by recent developments, because he's told me I have to bring back sweets every time I go to London!) 🧵

@GBNEWS What about using the heat in the underground for generating electricity and for heat pumps? Isn’t that the most sensible use of available resources?

@carolvorders It will lose the country a lot of money - the non doms will just leave to a country with better tax regimes. What is the point? I absolutely sure that sunak’s family will now leave, taking their wealth with them. #labourlosingcontrol #TwoTierBritain

This isn't just misogyny, it's M&S misogyny. Girls are not 'things' - no matter how progressive and inclusive you think you're being
