@manyez 😉🤣 @chemacepeda "Chema, Chema! toco el ukulele Chema" #Conectantes alguien 🇪🇸😜perdió la oportunidad de mostrar su innegable talento y sonido único en una sesión de fotos con el 🤴🇬🇧🎸

@EoinLenihan 100%, I applaud the lady but anyone who sees this and thinks showering by the roadside in a tent shower is acceptable has low standards indeed. I don't see dignity, I see system failure. What have we become?

When you need mobile showers for homeless people in Ennis, you've failed as a nation. It's as simple as that really. I've never seen such a concrete display of economic failure in my life as a Clareman - even in the supposedly terrible pre-Celtic Tiger years. 👇👇👇

@OGdukeneurosurg while Marsh& his local mentee debated how 2break the news. It was v. heavy 4 both docs. A beautiful, healthy looking woman. Her diagnosis would b communicated later when she had company. Should they say re blindess then or leave some hope?Even UK or US, no surgeon could save her.

@OGdukeneurosurg Watched "The English Surgeon" re 👨‍⚕️H. Marsh’s work in 🇺🇦. In 1 💔 scene a young woman thought an insect bite caused her symptoms but reality inoperable brain stem cancer. She had 3-5yrs to live & would lose her sight first. She sat in the room, oblivious as didn't speak English

This is the part of being a doctor I hate most. A patient looks at you and begs you to remove the tumor, or just help them somehow… and you already know there’s nothing left you can safely do to improve their quality of life or survival. Their cancer is just too aggressive. In this case, it had completely taken over the skull, face, and even the brain. No miracle surgery. No cure. No words that make it better. Just watching the hope leave someone’s face while you try to offer honesty, compassion, and whatever dignity you still can. These conversations stay with doctors forever. They are infinitely harder for the patient and their family. I’m so sorry. #braincancer #cancerawareness #neurosurgeon #braintumor #medicaleducation

@realdogvibe1 If u don't set boundaries, establish with goldie pup where s/he stands n the hierarchy of family (bottom rung), keep rules & abide by em & exercise this breed at least 2 hours a day (pup multiple short walks so hips aren't damaged by over walking when young) this is what u get 🙄

Don’t judge a book by its cover… no seriously… don’t.

@GermanSimply_ Much of this is like Switzerland; lived there for years so know it to be true.

Everyone tells you about Germany's efficiency. The punctuality. The engineering. The order. Nobody warns you about the other things. The things you only discover after you've already moved there. 10 of them. Right here. 🧵🇩🇪

@Lovandfear asking some1 they didn't know, they continued to debate. They decide it might be best to call a friend. Guy with banter tells them the stopthey need & says "now can I have yr number?" clearly joking. Quick as a flash, one of the girls says "sure 999"! & everyone laughed 😂😂🚆🇮🇪

@Lovandfear 1/2On the Luas the other day, guy in his 50s possibly older joking with passengers. The Irish knew it was just a bit of craic (fun 4 any1 not Irish reading this). 2black girls got on .. both wearing secondary school uniforms but unsure if on tram going the right way.Uncomfortable

Romance used to sound like poetry, now it sounds like dry notifications.

@benonwine Yes, for years I'd an Indian penpal from Kilpauk in Madras (now Chennai).Still have big 📦 of 📮 in attic, jewellery, a green &gold Salwar Kameez & lots of 📸. Was invited 2her wedding. Had an Indian physio a while ago & we chatted re this, he is from Kilpauk! What r the chances

Did anyone else ever have a pen pal growing up? ✍️📬 Waiting for handwritten letters to arrive from someone miles away feels like a completely different world now.

@goodreads Dipping in and out of "Letters to the lady upstairs" .. 23 of Proust's letters to his neighbour living in the apartment above his. Also a couple of chapters into "A knock at the door" a true, extraordinary tale of a homeless man who comes to live with a family & stays 45 years.

It's Friday! What are you reading this weekend?

@OGdukeneurosurg own weighed heavily enough & he was open about some of them, 1 particularly brutal outcome stayed with me. It's an excellent, honest read .. the emotional toll, high stakes, frustration, stress every day & add hospital bureaucracy, egos .. wow! There r laugh out loud moments too

@OGdukeneurosurg he'd be able to compete going forward .. now after damage done, patient wouldn't be able to return to cycling & would have other challenges. Marsh, angry, promised himself in the moment that he would no longer act as a mentor & assume responsibility for other's errors .. one's

As a neurosurgery resident, I was told operating alone through complex parts of surgery I’d never seen before would make me a better neurosurgeon. I disagreed. If a patient was at unnecessary risk, I called for help. Some mentors saw that as weakness. I saw it as being human. Would you want your surgeon asking for backup early… or staying silent to protect their ego?

@rorymcevoy you know what you gotta do! You too @CarlowWeather 😉😊

@NiallHarbison Proof of transformative effect of kindness, good nutrition, excellent vet care .. but most of all time, attention & a whole lot of ♥️. Niall, there will be a special place n afterlife (if it exists) 4 u.u are the kindest chap on x .. what u & team r doing for street 🐶🐕s is fab

Sienna came into us in November. Endless puppies and then a brutal life on the streets alone and sick. She used to stare at the wall. In just over 2 weeks she travels to her forever home in Wales. She says she’s a little nervous but thinks it might be nice ❤️
