@ClimateWarrior7 I was thinking about this earlier today. I think that the only way to get treatments for a lot of minor things is via prescription. Hence doctor or suffer. I have to go for annual blood tests and stuff which counts to d’ya think? Cervical smears and the like?

People in the UK see a doctor, on average 5-6 times a year. In Italy 9-10 times a year. Right, I know there's an element of luck in this and luck can run out, but I haven't seen a doctor since 2016, when I got my ears syringed. You can't tell me people in the UK get so seriously ill 5-6 times a year that they need a doctor! WTF are you people doing at the doctor? Do you just go to hang out or what? Are you all George out of Seinfeld, asking what happens if you've swallowed a fly? No wonder the NHS is collapsing! Someone explain this to me!

@NiallHarbison ❤️❤️❤️

Today I introduced Rocky to my own dogs Hank and Chance. It’s the first day he has been well enough and can see enough to interact. A little scary for Rocky as Hank is so big. Some teeth were shown. But look at them all by the end. ❤️

@NiallHarbison She will need a rain coat!!! ☔️ 💨 🧥

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 ❤️

@NiallHarbison It looks amazing already!

So many dogs to save on a daily basis but one thing always guides me… Tina. I only had her for 6 months but she was glorious. Today the team are building her hospital. It’s just some huge holes in the ground and some foundations going in but I have to pinch myself every single second. It won’t be easy to get this done, fund it and kit it out but Tina is buried just to the side of it watching on. We treat lots of dogs already but this will be one of the best hospitals for street dogs on the planet! All in Tina’s name ❤️

@MbarkCherguia This is exactly what should be done. Nobody touched the child.

Two women and a baby get challenged by two security guards for shoplifting. They put up a fight, and a third security guard comes steaming in and grabs the stolen loot. Shoplifting is wrong, but did this guard go too far?

@BellaBaddie__ Dad and son, same day obv different years! Haha

Has anyone ever heard of siblings who were born on the same day of the month, but in different years?????

@NiallHarbison Love, smoked salmon and poached chicken. What a combo x

@NiallHarbison Those eyes! ❤️

12 days difference in these photos. Rocky was broken. Terrified and lashing out. His eyes were red raw and bulging with pain. Look at the soft and dignified dog he is now. He can also see quite a bit. Rocky was down but he wasn’t out ❤️

@SRFielding72 @fesshole Hopefully enough for a deposit on a flat and a few sticks of furniture. You probably have no idea how much effort it takes to leave.

@fesshole How much did you make from your joint bank account?

When I found out my husband was cheating on me, I didn't confront him, i bought a burner phone made some anonymous social media accounts, and sent him proof he was cheating, along with a demand for money, and a threat to tell his wife.

@coldwarsteve Phil in coke rage era there! 👌

@NiallHarbison You really work miracles x

5️⃣ It's hard to believe but Rocky has now been here for five days and I think today is the most incredible he has ever looked 💤 I had a lot of messages and suggestions that maybe it would be better to put Rocky asleep when I first found him on Saturday 🐕 I think you can see from his whole body language, his wagging tail, and how hungry he is that this is a dog that very much wants to live 🍣 Every day we have a little routine where I change his bandana and bring him some smoked salmon and poached chicken. It's a little boy's picnic and it's the most magical time, sitting in the sun, you could ever imagine. 👀 We're slowly getting towards a stage where we might be able to do more for him with his eyes but there's no rush on that because he has so many ailments. What I am noticing is that he's fantastic at navigating around using my voice, the smell of food, and by learning the different types of grass and trees in his small area There's a lot of bad news in the world and doom and gloom. Rocky might just be one little individual street dog in Thailand but I really think he's helping put a smile not just on my face but on people around the world. A truly special little creature is Mr. Rocky ❤️

@RebelRancher @ma1ybe Congratulations. Must be the same for all scenarios then.

@twoarmadillos @ma1ybe One of mine went fairly wrong & it still was done without pain relief.

Honestly, Do men deserve a say in how their baby is delivered? Pain meds vs natural and what not?

@AaronThiara Your acting is brilliant. Can’t help but love Ravi, despite his poor decision making.

“Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.” — Victor Hugo If one person feels seen, connects to fictional humans through story telling, it’s all worth while for me. To my on screen family.. I love you. X And big love to you all for following Ravi’s journey🤍

@Nursey1994 @ma1ybe The professional person overseeing the delivery is best placed to advise. The father’s role is to support and advocate as far as is appropriate. The decision, that is down to the mother as she is the only one feeling the pain and the only one to assess its severity.

@ma1ybe No. The person having their insides ripped to shreds does.

@RebelRancher @ma1ybe Hahaha I just spat my coffee! Uncomfortable. That is great until it all goes wrong.

I think so but natural is the only correct answer. If you can’t endure a half a day of being uncomfortable, you’re not ready for the sacrifice that is motherhood. Dosing your baby with fentanyl for your own selfish comfort is not what a mother should do. Granted I know most are ill informed & don’t have any clue how bad epidurals are but again, not ready for motherhood if you can’t be botherded to do basic research.

@tinajaneb33 @TigersJUK @joemichalczuk Not all towns have a minor injuries unit.

@TigersJUK @joemichalczuk The story is odd. I wouldn't leave AandE with uncontrolled bleeding, even if I had to wait. I assume the minor injuries unit was closed.

A shower screen shattered all over my wife this week. Over the next 72 hours, the NHS got almost everything wrong. A cautionary tale of a system that is broken (with the usual caveat that everyone working in it is doing their best) 👇 I called an ambulance. All good at first: “It’s on its way.” Ten minutes later: “Actually, there are no ambulances for hours - can you get her to hospital?” So I loaded my bleeding wife into the car, along with the kids and the dog, and drove to A&E. Ten hours later, she came home - having given up after not even being offered a plaster. The next morning, we called our GP: “Any chance she could see a nurse?” “No - as the ambulance referred her to hospital, we can’t see her.” So I went to the pharmacy and bought a first aid kit. Because apparently that’s where we are now - me and a pack of plasters, in one of the richest countries in the world. This morning, still in pain, still untreated, and with a ballooning foot, we went to an urgent treatment centre. At first, smooth. She was seen in under two hours. X-ray done. “Nasty cut, but nothing broken.” Relief. Two hours later, the phone rang. It was the hospital. “Sorry - we got that completely wrong. Your foot is broken and the wound needs antibiotics.” If it wasn’t so serious, it would be laughable. And the truth is - anyone who uses the system has a story like this. We need to stop clinging to an idealised version of the NHS and have a grown-up conversation about how to fix it. Free healthcare for all should remain a principle - but pretending the current model works isn’t helping anyone. Almost every other developed country combines public healthcare with some level of private provision - and all deliver better outcomes as a result. Yet in the UK, even suggesting that tends to get shut down before the conversation starts. That’s not protecting the NHS. It’s protecting a cult. We don’t need ideology. We need honesty about what works. We need a brilliant NHS in practice for all of us - not one we’re told to revere while it quietly crumbles, and where anyone who speaks up is dismissed or discredited. When are we going to get serious about the things that actually matter - and have the difficult national conversations needed to fix them? We don’t need to abandon the NHS. We need to be honest about fixing it. We shouldn’t just shrug our shoulders. We have to be better. We need to vote for real change.

@terrawuzhere @TigersJUK @joemichalczuk The ambulance service determined A&E. She needed an x-ray. A&E was the correct place.

@TigersJUK @joemichalczuk Ring 111. Phone triage - one of their questions is - is the person bleeding? Callback from a medic. They refer to GP, Minor Injuries or A&E - who then know you’re coming. The systems are there if people use them.

@SueGwasRanson I just do it myself.

Loathe having my hair done and only force myself to have it done 3 times a year but today is the day… anyone else like me, hate having hair done ?

@Jenny_1884 No. It’s raised awareness.

Do you think childhood vaccines has anything to do with the increase in Autism & ADHD in our young?

@fesshole Go find your tribe!! They are waiting for you x

Stopped messaging some friends to see if they would initiate the conversation first. Been four years now and not a word. Feel I've made a terrible mistake.
