@Doc_IonaCollins @PronouncedHare @ApingSpring So do you give antibiotics to anyone who demands them

When my dad was dying of dementia his rather poor GP didn't do a DNACPR and I had to make the call and ask for it. I thought mate that's one thing you could have done to help us and lift my burden. So in my older patients with dementia I make the decision which in law is the case and take that off the family so they never have to and most understand and are grateful. It helps to stop this family thing. It is all a misunderstanding.

@iky_fwjett That man learned the hard way that disability does not always look how people expect… She ended his whole speech in one move.

@iky_fwjett Imagine being loud and wrong… then getting corrected like that 😭

@iky_fwjett That girl ended the whole argument in one move.. Nothing louder than a person assuming disability has to look the way they expect

@KhaizarM13 @iky_fwjett Who needs it and *who got there first*! They might have both needed it but she was there first and he didn’t stop to ask.

@iky_fwjett Disabled seating isn’t “who complains loudest.” It’s who needs it. Lesson learned the hard way.

@iky_fwjett An elderly gentleman boarded the tube I was on and very politely asked the lad sitting in the ‘disabled or pregnant’ seat: “excuse me, are you disabled” In fairness, the lad vacated the seat immediately

@iky_fwjett That escalated from public transport drama to instant karma speedrun real quick Man really gave a whole speech about weak ankles just to get out-ankled in 4K. She didn’t argue, didn’t debate… just presented evidence

@iky_fwjett Love her for that. Imagine having the guts to try to deprive a disabled person from their seat. And of course the idea of being 'discourteous'. Funny since it's coming from an adult who is acting worse than a spoilt child.

@iky_fwjett @gaslitbyhopkins 😱 good for her but what he did was assault

today i saw a dude try to physically remove a teenage girl from the disabled seating on the train, complaining about his weak ankles and hypertension and how pathetic and discourteous youth were. she literally threw her prosthetic leg at him.

@toniwriter @draevans Indeed. It spoke reams about the school's attitudes to age and, as my SEN Teaching Assistant course teacher commented, it also suggested that the school would be unwilling to make reasonable adjustments for their pupils with disabilities.

@ApingSpring @draevans Christ, that's an overtly illegal question!

203 of us applied for the same, single job vacancy. I received a ‘high score’ in all 5 areas and still didn’t make it to interview. But, according to the government, media & social media, I’m just a ‘lazy, disabled person scrounging on benefits who doesn’t want to work’.

@agkmiller @1goodtern @ApingSpring *Good priests

@HollyEm46009654 @PronouncedHare @ApingSpring DNACPR is not MAID

@drokane @PronouncedHare @ApingSpring The idea of allowing children - or more likely pressuring them - and without any knowledge by the parent to choose MAID is what I'm referring to.

@asha_mat @PronouncedHare @ApingSpring You are really talking a lot of made up made up nonsense. Outside of hospital everyone gets considered for resus unless rigor mortis if they don't have a dnacpr form. If someone wants resus they just bin it.

@drokane @PronouncedHare @ApingSpring You're still turning in circles and not answering. I don't have a problem with letting people go, when there's no chance of their cogndition improving. But you have a problem admiting there is abuse, negligence, mistakes and often cold calculations. And not always in old&terminal

@asha_mat @PronouncedHare @ApingSpring I don't think you have any idea. You know we sometimes have to let old frail people die and die well with dignity. There is a real failure to accept death as the natural end to a long life.
