Great resource for symptom control not just EOL.

This is shockingly irresponsible from Elle Macpherson. She was lucky that clearly the lumpectomy removed all the cancerous cells and it hadn't spread, but implying she "cured" cancer holistically is reckless beyond belief. evoke.ie/2024/09/03/ent…

So true!

@ScotRail so get that you have a reduced service due to industrial action and my usual train is now every TWO hours. But please can you explain why EVERY train from 17.30 is now being cancelled from central station? Thought the reduced timetable was supposed to prevent this???

Last day in AOAU topped off with some venflon practice on my juicy veins. Even the sun shone as I left. #TeamAOAU ❤️

A great listen for all those working in end-of-life care and with #DNACPR decisions. People need the facts about DNACPR. And these conversations need to happen early, way before a crisis.

Great opportunity for anyone with an interest in acute oncology/unscheduled care. It's also an amazing team to be a part of! apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

@Carbars1965 Hope so - though that might depend on where in Europe they go!😀

@sylvs_x Are you going with them?? xx

Happy 10th Birthday to @Beatson_Charity. Amazing charity and a huge support to all.

There is no “miracle cure” for dying, but from watching TV you’d think CPR could bring anyone back to life. The reality: very few people make a full recovery following CPR. We owe it to the public to be honest about this so people understand why DNACPR decisions exist.

Guns are a uniquely American problem. The rest of the world has mental health issues. The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division. They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games. What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next. At least, not until they arrive here. After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world. In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since. Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting. So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021. Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 304 fatal school shootings in the United States. Since 1999, 440 people have been killed and 1,243 injured in shooting events at K-12 schools. Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled. 121 people have been killed and 281 people have been injured from school shootings since Parkland. And there have been well over 100 incidents of gunfire at K-12 schools since the Uvalde school shooting. In 2023, in the 632+ mass shootings recorded, 597 people died and 2,380 people were injured. In total last year in this country - more than 40,000 people died from gun violence. That is an average of almost 118 gun deaths each day. Every year, approximately three million kids are exposed to gun violence. This. Is. An. American. Problem. There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians. It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues. Every country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way. It’s the guns.
