@parthaskar I have to disagree. He's been happy to continue to help an ultra right wing government in Israel while it commits genocide. Not even a peep.

Just started watching season one of "The Boys" and wow, "Starlight" is so effortlessly attractive like the girl-next-door that you can't help but fall in love with. I hope the worst possible thing doesn't happen, which is akin to spitting in the face of the artist that is God.

It is wild to me that a doctor has to go through 5 years of med school and years of post grad training to see patients independently yet a trainee ACP can start seeing patients on their own + make decisions whilst doing their 2 year part time course...honestly blows my mind..

@medicalmodelbri I agree it's ridiculous. My point is that the docs are the ones taking the legal responsibility for inadequately trained people seeing patients. If the token oversight is removed I would like to see how much an insurance company would charge.

@DarrenVoxbox Supervised how ? GP seeing every patient again themselves ? A debrief of every patient straight after the PA appointment without seeing pt ? A general debrief at the end of the day once all patients have gone? No discussion with the GP at all but GP available if required?

@DebRoberts22249 They ignore that the consultants were really concerned about the deaths and were trying hard to figure out what could have been causing the collapses and deaths. They ruled out many things before they realised it was Letby

Someone let the idiots out for Easter. They’ve arrived armed with the most hysterical vocabulary they could find. Apparently the consultants were both "marking their own homework" and part of some "incestuous" relationship with police. Truly breathtaking stuff - it's like watching someone shake a bag of dramatic buzzwords and hope a coherent argument falls out. The reality is far less theatrical: the consultants weren’t investigating themselves. They were the only people who actually knew what happened to those babies - the only people who witnessed the sudden, unexpected and unexplained collapses, documented the events, and raised concerns long before police were involved. It’s pantomime for people who can’t cope with the clinical facts. Letbyists are really not very bright. #innocencefraud #TheCultOfLetby

Hull either does not remember or chooses not to mention that the "story about Baby I being colonised" referenced not pseudomonas, but rather s. maltophilia, which had been found to have colonized her throat and rectum while she was alive, and in her autopsy was found to have colonized her right bronchus. While Dr. Bohin is quite right to say that colonization is not the same as infection, the panel's comments on s. maltophilia were about the bad effects colonization could produce. In the case of Baby I, the panel concluded that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia had colonised her respiratory system – which was already compromised – causing thick, creamy secretions that blocked her airways and exacerbated her breathing problems. Dr Shoo Lee, who led the expert panel, said: “We conclude, therefore, that [Baby I] died of respiratory complications caused by respiratory distress syndrome and chronic lung disease, that were complicated by the Stenotrophomonas maltophilia colonisation.” But what is most shocking about the exchange between Hull and Bohin is that Bohin herself also does not appear to realize (or chooses not to point out) Hull's mistake. In fact, not once is the word "maltophilia" even mentioned. Instead Bohin goes along with the error, and speaks generally of checking babies' records to see if there was any sign of pseudomonas -- but that was never anyone's contention in the case of Baby I. It's in keeping with her behavior during the trial, when she dismissed s. maltophilia in this way reddit.com/r/LucyLetbyTri…

If anyone still needs proof that David Davis was simply recycling a pre‑fabricated social ‑media narrative when he used parliamentary privilege to make his claims, look no further than the lines he delivered. He gravely announced: "Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA and C difficile. Those bacteria were all detected in the hospital. Sewage was dripping from the ceilings. Doctors follow poor counter infection processes." He then invoked a mother of triplets who transferred to Liverpool Women’s Hospital, saying she "noticed a different level of cleanliness compared to the Countess of Chester. There were clear hygiene protocols in Liverpool. ‘We were told to wash our hands before entering the unit and then again before entering the room which was not the case at the Countess of Chester.'" On the surface, it sounds damning. It’s meant to. But Davis is very obviously not a scientist, because his entire argument collapses the moment you apply the most basic medical reasoning: for any of this to be relevant, there would need to be actual infections in the babies. There weren’t. That was established in court through medical records and post‑mortems. No infections. No sepsis. No outbreak. No mystery pathogen sweeping through the unit. Except Baby D - and even that case was explained in court. She had congenital pneumonia after her mother received what the court described as sub‑optimal care: no antibiotics after her waters broke, followed by a 60‑hour labour. Baby D’s infection was improving; she was stable; and the original pathologist believed she died with pneumonia, not from it. As for the Pseudomonas: yes, it was detected in the taps. Backup procedures were immediately put in place, and no baby was affected. That is not speculation - that is the evidence. And the infamous "sewage dripping through the ceiling"? Yet another Letbyist myth. Not a single witness mentioned it except one nurse, years later, in testimony to Thirlwall. Letby’s own plumbing expert - her only expert witness - didn’t mention it when reading from his incident logs. No corroboration. No documentation. Nothing. So when David Davis stood up and theatrically recited these talking points, he wasn’t exposing a scandal. He was repeating social ‑media mythology under the protection of parliamentary privilege - a place where accuracy seems to be optional and consequences are nil. #innocencefraud

@Dr_Scissorhands @overstretcc93 This is part of the problem. Folk don't understand how demanding a degree in medicine is. There is no equivalence here. A 4 year degree in something that isn't medicine, still doesn't get you close. Docs have been looking at herbs forever. Many discarded when found not to work

@overstretcc93 A lot of people come and see me instead. I am a medical herbalist. We do a 4 year degree. We are trained to do a physical examination, take a case history and make a diagnosis in the same way as conventional doctors. Except we focus on the root cause of the problem.

You may think I’m joking or exaggerating, but the UK plan is instead of a doctor, you will get to see someone with a 2 year non-medical degree who uses AI to tell them what to do.

@JoeTruzman The IDF say he carried his child toward them to deter fire? Not sure that story adds up given the number of kids the IDF have shot for sport. There's plenty of evidence of that.

The IDF said in a statement that it rejects allegations that it abused a toddler, calling them unfounded and part of Hamas propaganda. According to the IDF, the child was brought into a combat zone by a Hamas operative as a human shield. Troops encountered the man approaching their position in the “Yellow Line” area while carrying the toddler. After he ignored warnings, soldiers fired warning shots to create distance, which may have caused minor injuries from shrapnel. The man was detained and reportedly identified himself as a Hamas operative who said he brought his child to deter IDF fire. The IDF stated that once the child was in its custody, troops provided medical care, food, and supervision by a military doctor. The toddler was later transferred to the Red Cross in good condition after his family was located through coordination.

@NEndoscopy @TomPMarshall @pash22 @Dan_Wyke Out of each GPs 2000, there will be a majority that rarely see them or have one simple problem. And a few hundred I'd guess that see the GP several times a year. You can get to know this group really well

@TomPMarshall @pash22 @Dan_Wyke No you’ve got that the wrong way around. In a practice with 5 GPs there will be >10,000 patients. It’s seriously unrealistic to think 5 people will remember all these patients. It’s not the GPs that determine continuity…

I've been registered with the same surgery for 16 years and in all that time not a single dr there has indicated that they recognise me. Aside from being an inefficient way to practice medicine, I find it really rude! Is this a strategy GPs use elsewhere or unique to my surgery?

@BlackM1710 @medicalmodelbri @anaesthetic_spr @RobSetters @kcisc Folk working in healthcare with PhDs shouldn't use Dr as a patient facing title. I'm sure they don't. LinkedIn is a grey area but in the bio are Dr, Clinical Lead and Consultant Practitioner. With no mention of Nursing. It's misleading and a probity issue.
