I hope that machine learning will lead to a new era of medical publishing that embraces subjective viewpoints, expert opinion and top notch essays from both physicians and patients as well as original clinical research @Brain1878

Machine learning tries to fake human experience and deepens the echo chamber. It lacks authenticity and is impersonal

@ProfRobHoward Their benefit should be described as minimal anything else is hyperbole

The fundamental problem for lecanemab and donanemab is that it is almost an exaggeration to describe their benefits over 18 months as “modest” and from what little the companies have chosen to tell us about long-term extension data it looks like they do not modify disease course.

@TheMonologist On the mural next to Edwin and Paul Smith - Nottingham’s finest

Remembering RICHARD BECKINSALE - who left us 47yrs ago today, aged just 31.

@doctor_oxford @covidinquiryuk @MattHancock @BorisJohnson Might be the moment for the Health Minister to recognise the contribution of those involved in more than words

Today's publication of the @covidinquiryuk report into Covid's impact on the NHS comes as bittersweet relief for those of us who worked in those often hellish times. Finally - thankfully - someone in authority has called out the incessant lies from @MattHancock & @BorisJohnson that the NHS “coped” during 2020/21 & “was not overwhelmed”. No, says Lady Hallet. Covid’s impact was “devastating”. Furthermore: “On a number of occasions, [the NHS] teetered on the brink of collapse and only coped thanks to the almost superhuman efforts of healthcare workers and all the staff who support them.” How those lies incensed us at the time. Disgusting, dangerous lies that encouraged the public to believe that ventilators were never rationed, that patients never died at home because there weren’t enough ambulances to reach them, that staff never collapsed and left the NHS for good, broken by the brutality of those Covid wards. “There was clearly overwhelm,” says Lady Hallet. “Whatever word one chooses, healthcare systems were placed under intolerable strain. Patients could not be admitted to hospital and, in particular, into intensive care units. This continued for wave after wave of the virus.” Shame on you, Johnson & Hancock, for spouting endless self-serving populist lies while decent NHS doctors and nurses did their level best for patients - as did so many other magnificent key workers. We owe them all a debt of gratitude.

@GjaMacphee @musicandroots And next time in London 20 Frith Street with an espresso at Bar Italia

@musicandroots So true ..but we need more " skipping" stories. Mine ..I was in Vienna and missed Sunday am session to walk to Mozart grave

I mean, I once ditched the last day of a conference in Liverpool to do a day trip to Scotland. No regrets.

@GjaMacphee @musicandroots I tried always to take a trip on Metro/ tram preferably to the city’s best known necropolis and then on to the botanical garden

@tonyhazzard Send your tweet to DVLA they dont like that and respond

I've been renewing my over 70 driving licence perfectly well online. Now the gov has decided to introduce a more difficult system, using a way of identifying who I am. It's impossible to use. Designed to make me even more insane.🤬 My non-renewal is down to you, HM gov.

@okeh_suedehead At least you had a dig! Liverpool's season has been dominated by insecurity, fear and imbalance despite an outlay of half a billion pounds. Very funny to watch Arne Slot's change in pitchside body language last night but it may yet reprieve him

@ajlees Good morning, Andrew. Sun’s up & it’s hot already. Yep, I wish, handed a lesson, defensively inept & against a side of that attacking prowess, you get punished. A big Summer reset required. I’ve seen many defeats, & some heavy drubbings, one more doesn’t hurt. Vinyl therapy soon.

Caught the game up in North Park with some Mags. That penalty knocked us, but we were masters of our own downfall. Woeful defending at times. Hopefully, lessons learned and a summer reset. 80 degrees + and cooking. Back on the vinyl trail tomorrow. #HWTL

Those very few colleagues who are often in error but never in doubt concern me

2002 my #OldiesbutGoodies paper "Falls, deteriorating bulbar function, and dementia remain the major therapeutic challenges in Parkinson’s disease". 20 years on it seems fresh which is chastening. Take a read jnnp.bmj.com/content/73/6/6…

@alonso_chu64256 @TheAnfieldWrap @onepeloton For me he is very lightweight and keeps missing sitters yet the pundits and many fans enthuse over his odd clever little pass. How I miss Luisito and I would rather have Darwin than Gakpo. They added a badly needed fire on the pitch especially with a gentle Dutch manager

@ajlees @TheAnfieldWrap @onepeloton Every player has been diabolical, and Wirtz certainly isn't the worst one. In fact he's been one of our better players. Maybe look at the fact this coach hasn't got a clue how to set up in this league now the team is 100% playing his way.

“He looks to me now like a former Liverpool manager” “I think if and when he leaves Liverpool Football Club, he’ll still go on to have success at other clubs” 🎥 The Anfield Wrap | @onepeloton

@OneScouse Most successful Shanks was the greatest

This is what the greatest Liverpool manager looks like

@AnfieldWatch No

Steven Gerrard as interim manager for the rest of the season, who says no? 🤔

@MattyDean97 Sailor is getting better and better a key man now

With the lads out, that was one grafting performance. Proud of it. Up the broken S men 🔴⚪️

@AnfieldWatch Wirz is a big problem he has shown very little and looks lightweight and McAllister and Gakpo should both be on the bench

You've had time to sleep on it - what are your thoughts after yesterday's result and performance?
