@DrNeilStone 90% of the time I write to the patient. I think it works better for me. However, I don't think it matters either way assuming the letter is good.

Do you address your clinic letter to the patient or to the referring doctor? Which is the right thing to do?

I think you meant to say that Samwise Gamgee rode to Gondor in its hour of need.

There is one truth. And this is it.

@rcolvile That's quite a lot to take in over my Sunday morning porridge.

@loiseaulivier @Laconic_doc Well, aside from the risk of grammasite encounters, e.g. verbisoids, adjectivores, and bookworms, you also have Big Martin, the Questing Beast, and the Minotaur out in the Book World. Be careful out there. JurisFiction are only a Footnoterphone call away. @jasperfforde

Excellent work from PROFILE supporting top down treatment. Really fantastic clinical trial. Also fascinating that the CD8 biomarker, which was so impressive in observational work, showed no signal for utility at all. Adds to the cautionary tales about biomarkers.

A brief window of light with @jfnephlolz returning for more interesting chat and some great poems (thank you!), but it's really not enough to keep me here. I am tapping out until Spring - here's hoping for some improvement.

Twitter in general, and #MedTwitter specifically, has gone of the deep end. My feed is dominated by engagement-farming accounts sharing threads and images, adverts, and narcissistic self-promoters. #MedTwitter is 80% anger at PAs. Most of the fun chats have gone.

@MicrobiomDigest These squiggly bit look repeated?

#ImageForensics, X-ray diffraction edition. Can you spot something unexpected in these plots? Tell me and you might win an emoji award!

@jfnephlolz What a fascinating poem. The questions are familiar, but strange, at the same time. Quite mind-boggling to think this was written before William of Normandy had even thought about conquering anything. Thanks for sharing.
