I’m grateful to be at this presentation by @markhoro at the @rcpsych Addictions Faculty conference on the under-recognised withdrawal problems from commonly prescribed medications. Recognising the possible significant duration of symptoms here is the main take home for me.

Arriving by ambulance at York ED? Look forward to a warm welcome from the private company managing the ambulance queue. Enjoy knowing their staff are getting paid almost twice what the nurse in charge is earning to run the entire dept. @YSTeachingNHS

Can someone much smarter than me explain these black circles (circled in yellow) I’ve noticed on the #JWST first image after some very very basic playing with the levels? #ImJustAnAmateur ?diffraction thing #NotSuggestingAliens @MouldS @BradyHaran @smartereveryday @NASAWebb
Just fallen down a #YouTube rabbit hole of #SaturdayNightLive As a UK #Millennial I now understand why we have most of the great #USA actors & comedians I’ve grown up with. Although I’m now worried I now wont have time to eat for the next month #JustScratchedTheSurface

I have a question though, for the MAJORITY of the people I recognise, did they start on #SNL then become more famous or were famous actors who then went on this show for fun?

Does anyone know if #Ukraine #cysticfibrosis patients have access to #Kaftrio ? I worry that they’ll be a group of patients who may suddenly be without treatment, I’d be happy to donate some of mine. Anyone know? @CFLeeds @CF_Foundation @cftrust

People are often quick to rant on here: #PositiveEnergy I was dreading a mortgage call, felt scared, vulnerable & stressed. Spoke to @Nationwide & a LOVELY human was so kind, patient & helpful spoke to me for an hour & made my week. Cost to them= £0, but means the 🌎 #thankyou

I must have watched MONTHS of #kidsTV since becoming a #father There’s not enough #RoleModels for #dads I’ve got just 2 that demonstrate great fathering so I admire & want to be more like: 1) Tim, Dad from the #Grimwades 2) Bandit, Dad from #Bluey Anyone else? #Parenthood
With everyone #GPBashing inc @sajidjavid himself, wanted to share eg of things IMPROVING. 1st-ly: contrary to the press, px CAN book a face2face with a GP, some ask you just speak to GP 1st. Px called today- pre-Covid would have waited 1-2 wks ->F2F. What happened next…?

… I called within 10 mins - signposted to pharmacy then opticians & he’ll be sorted by lunch. Of course offered f2f if wanted as well but was happy with the plan. Allowing our F2F GPs to see the px that need it SOONER & for longer. #CareForYourNHS #AbuseItAndLoseIt

2/ They were meaningful consultations where we thought forward and made shared decisions. This was only possible because of the ☎️ , video, digital and text consultations many other patients willingly embraced. I could ignore the clock because the waiting room was not bursting

So tired of the GP bashing. It's an absolute privilege, and I'm very excited to be embarking on this career. Can we balance it out with some positive stories? When has your GP helped you? I'll start...
