Offside confirmed. Are they saying Darlow was impeded by the offside man for the first cross? Regardless, it stays 0-0. #lufc

Thirteen years today since starting as a consultant. Just shy of ten years in leadership (CL/CD) role. Stepping back as it’s been quite a year on many levels. Still keeping my 8 DCC as always, but give the leadership to someone with fresh ideas and drive. It’s been a journey.

Bizarre @BBCSport home page. Had to double check that the Championship play-off final was indeed this afternoon. Embarrassing that the national broadcaster thinks 90% of these non-stories are more important At least #LUFC fans can watch from a distance #SAFC #SUFC

Fantastic piece on many of the limitations of test characteristics for determining post-test probability (which are well-known, and I rant about frequently with my poor residents)
Samuel Weisenthal@samweisenthal

Medicine is swimming in pre-test probability scores (eg Wells’). These scores + constant sens/spec assumption (see Dawid 1976, Moons and Harrell 2003, Guggenmoos 2000) = Information Mismatch See preprint for details: arxiv.org/pdf/2503.15382

Hi @goldstone_tony Just going through my remedial statement. I know how important going back to 2010/11 is for carry forward…so is there a reason the HMRC remedy calculator only lets you enter figures from 15/16? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick and you won’t lose out?

“There is no need to change the STEMI-NSTEMI paradigm. I never see false negatives.” We published the article “The no false negative paradox in STEMI-NSTEMI diagnosis” in Heart (BMJ), and I’ll explain this paradox with a story: José de Alencar sees a patient with angina. 🧵

UK Labour PM Keir Starmer is *already* hated just a few weeks after taking over the government. There's a lesson here for Kamala Harris, which is that she too can win an election with voters who immediately regret their decision.

People who are racist to NHS staff “can and should” be turned away from care @wesstreeting has told @PA “I was appalled by reports of violence directed towards Filipino nurses in Sunderland...their attackers bring shame on our flag and shame on our country.”

At @NHSEngland board meeting this afternoon. Everyone is welcoming new governmen's reviews into the NHS. @AmandaPritchard says winter planning is already underway and patients and safety will be "at the heart of" plans this year. 🤔

@OmazeUK @TonyFlavin0 But by definition the early bird prizes will have been drawn by halfway through the draw’s life (which is what the email shows) and before the 60 entries go in???

@chrisbiggin @TonyFlavin0 Hiya, the number of entries you'll receive for each early bird remains the same as it has been historically, so you'll have the same chance to win as you would in the old rules
