My open letter to @DrGregorSmith regarding my concerns about #PPE advice in the UK.

@DrSelvarajah We need you on #MedMastodon!

@DrLindaDykes Moved to #Medmastodon on Mastodon. Very busy over there, mainly academics in the 1st wave last week but more and more medics.

Has much of #MedTwitter left, or reduced Twitter usage. Or have the algorithms been messed with? Seeing very little of the familiar tweeters I usually see in my timeline.

This is my regular reminder to everyone to get over to #Mastodon. I'm so much happier since I moved, it's going like a fair, and you're getting left behind! (I've just logged in to check my DMs, but I'm not reading or writing any post on Twitter any more.) See you over there!

#MedTwitter are we all moving to #Mastodon?

@NASGP Are you guys on Mastodon yet?

@StubbingsAndy @bykatewomersley That too. (Actually, recently bought a rotary-DTMF tone convertor for Christmas, so we will soon have our rotary phone not just ringing but back dialing again.)

Got to say, I'm actually really happy on #Mastatdon. I hate the post-Facebook "walled garden", AI-driven, conflict-is-adsales, agrofest that the internet has become and Mastadon is much more @timberners_lee. Think leaving Starbucks to join a community of local coffee shops.

My wife asked me how my day went, and I told her I'd been #Mastadon ing on all day hoping to get my toots boosted. A discussion ensued as to whether I was still in full posession of my faculties. I'm not sure the @mastadonarmy fully thought through the terminology.

I've been on Mastadon for a day and I'm really enjoying it. I'd forgotten what social media was like before it got twisted by AIs and professional trolls.

@Theshortie1976 Just realised that because we're both on mastatdon.scot, you don't show up as @Shortie@mastadon.scot but you do show up when I search @Shortie

@JanusTSM @WilfredGachau @joinmastodon Jeg er på mastodon.scot

@JanusTSM @WilfredGachau @joinmastodon Hvad er din mastadon adresse?

@bykatewomersley I've prescribed cannabis to people with chronic pain etc.. Mixed results.

@BadMedicalTakes This is the problem with social media, and why it's damaging society. A brain dead idiot says something insanely stupid and misogynistic to his 70 followers and someone clever retrweets it to their quarter million followers to laugh at. The laugh is on us, as vectors.

thinking about this list of deaths in london in 1665

@bykatewomersley Back in the day, before smartphones, we had to dial actual numbers using a rotary dialer. Phones often served a group of people in a building & misdialing was common. The last 4 digits were the "local" number of the phone. It was etiquette to say those four digits when answering.

@mwahmwahdarling @IanLabour Moron.

Nurses have voted to strike. Whose side are we on?

@IanLabour Nurses.

@doctorcaldwell It's also just not true. My wife is a nurse, trained in the 80s, and remembers being on a picket line. The strikes by nurses and other NHS workers in the 70s and 80s made the NHS a much better place for patients and staff. huckmag.com/perspectives/t…

8hrs shifts, not 12-13hrs, with a 2hrs overlap in early afternoon, allowing time to catch up, even time for learning and training.

@nicolathorp_ It's hard to stay emotionless when people are saying fascist things to your face. I thought you did wonderfully.
