To any doctors who are due to give birth around their CCT date… you can apply for consultant jobs when pregnant! I didn’t know this at the time and no one told me. @PregnantScrewed @RCPL_trainees @MADEinHEENE

@HughesPeg Oscar, Otis

Help needed! For reasons too long-winded to explain here, I need 100 otter names (yes, 100 names that you might give to an otter) by this Friday (9th). So tell me: if you had an otter, what would you call them?

In 1956, ducklings were utilized as an integral component of medical treatment. In the realm of medical history, there have been numerous groundbreaking advancements and innovative treatments. However, there are also some lesser-known chapters that offer a glimpse into the peculiar and unconventional approaches taken in the past. One such fascinating example dates back to 1956 when ducklings were utilized as an integral component of medical treatment. This unexpected therapeutic method aimed to provide solace and support to patients during their recovery. Let's explore this intriguing story further. In the mid-1950s, healthcare professionals embarked on a unique experiment to incorporate ducklings into medical therapy. The rationale behind this unconventional approach stemmed from the belief that the presence of these small, endearing creatures could have a positive impact on patients' emotional well-being, aiding in their recovery process. Hospitals and clinics started introducing ducklings into various departments, particularly those caring for children and individuals experiencing emotional distress. The therapeutic impact of ducklings was indeed remarkable. Their presence brought joy and cheer to patients, creating a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere within medical facilities. The gentle interactions between patients and ducklings helped alleviate stress, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of companionship. Children, in particular, found solace in the company of these adorable creatures, often forming deep emotional connections. The utilization of ducklings as a form of therapy eventually became a popular phenomenon in medical institutions worldwide during the 1950s. However, as medical science progressed and more evidence-based practices emerged, the focus shifted towards more traditional therapies. Consequently, the era of duckling therapy gradually faded away, and other interventions took center stage. The incorporation of ducklings as an integral component of medical treatment in 1956 remains a peculiar but captivating episode in medical history. Although this unorthodox approach might seem unconventional today, it highlights the significance of emotional well-being in the healing process. The use of ducklings provided comfort, support, and a sense of joy to patients, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being. While the era of duckling therapy may have passed, its legacy serves as a reminder of the continuous search for innovative and compassionate methods to enhance the medical experience for patients of all ages.

Looking for a uk based charity that supports children living in poverty… any ideas in addition to save the children?

I’m just so sad. My friend’s father who fell from his mobility scooter trying to get past a car parked on the pavement on Saturday has died. 💜

We would like to share a story about Baby B. Baby B died at only 11 days of age from #neonatalHSV and we have been working closely with her family to improve awareness in our trust. [1/16]

The Daily Mail has - you've guessed it - given over its lead comment slot today to a writer attacking the "woke" "climate alarmist" Met Office. I'd never heard of him, though. So I googled him. He's a "speech writer and consultant" for "companies operating in the energy sector"
