With accusations of grooming, drug use & domestic violence still plaguing him, faux Pastor Lincoln Russ today decided to go for an attention grab in Ōtautahi with his new mate Michael, deliberately forcing an innocent street performer to shut his show down midway through his set.

@TinyWriterLaura I definitely recommend How To Coeliac for recipes and general gluten free content! She is based in London and has all the tips!
English
ok lads it’s very likely the doctor is going to tell me i have to go gluten free soon. i bought a gluten free seed loaf in prep & honestly… wtf is this cardboard nonsense?
any (UK) recs for decent gluten free bread from a supermarket, &/or homemade recipes gratefully received!

Question 1. If the NHS has 133,400 staff vacancies, with 40% of junior doctors planning to leave, and nursing salaries down 20% in real terms over the last decade, should you pay them a fair wage?

We work so hard to encourage life-saving cancer screenings and then some folks come in and undermine that effort in a matter of days.

@aboutIBD As I'm deep in study for my epidemiology exam the reporting really annoys me. Show me the 95% confidence intervals, show me that the results have been adjusted for all potential confounders!
Can't wait to change the world (pending I pass this epidemiology exam 😅)

@aboutIBD I saw this pop up today!!!! It's infuriating right!

When people go through terribly hard life experiences, other people often say, “I honestly don’t know how you did it, I couldn’t cope with that”.
The truth is, no-one copes, they just survive anyway they can, one day at a time. There’s no special skill that makes it better.

One of the cruellest things about chronic illness is that you have to have a certain level of functioning to even organise your care. And the more difficult healthcare is to access, the more function you need. Meaning you have to wait for a 'good day' to even start addressing it.

On last week's episode of That's So Chronic, I sat down with Caitlyn to chat about her diagnosis of #achalasia & her recovery from oesophagus surgery. Listen wherever you get your pods before another new episode tomorrow!

@aboutIBD Yes! Something I think about a lot. I wish more people understood this sentiment!
English
It’s not well understood how sharing one’s story of chronic illness affects mental health. It’s not easy to do. It’s reliving the worst things that have happened to you. People who have always had health don’t seem to fully grasp that. Stories should be treated with respect.

I am so excited for Undoctored!
Adam Kay@amateuradam
Five years ago today, this book came out. Thank you to the, can’t believe I’m writing this, MILLIONS of people who read it. My next book, Undoctored, comes out next week - I think it’s the funniest, rawest, most personal thing I’ve ever written. geni.us/Undoctored to order.
