What is Dementia? demruk.org/2025/05/29/what-i…

facebook.com/share/14hpAXZ4e…. My latest blog for Carers Week. Family members can care from a distance. Here’s how.

@ukmfa1 Dr Liz Evans speaking to Dr Joel Zivot about how paralyzing drugs are used in Assisted Suicide to create an outward appearance of peace for witnesses, potentially masking profound internal distress of the patient as they suffocate to death. How Assisted Suicide robs people and their loved ones of an important spiritual experience in a natural death supported with compassionate, holistic, high quality palliative care. "...our culture which is so medicalised and sterilised, wants to get rid of the problem quickly....we are actually losing something from not allowing people to go through death [naturally] with support and care and a level of drugs that stops anything being overwhelming..." ‼️WATCH full discussion on the Truth of Assisted Suicide Drugs here‼️ukmfa1.substack.com/p/dr-joe…

“In individuals at low risk of #COVID mortality with ongoing symptoms, 70% have impairment in one or more organs 4m after COVID, with implications for healthcare & public health, which assumed low risk in healthy young people.” Yet in UK we only vaccinate >75y as ‘cost efficient’

Without going into the debate again on toilets, this is a legislator advocating law breaking.

A vision many would like to see a reality. However, @Edinburgh_CC needs to address the major deficiencies in its bin-hub programme for it to ever to succeed. Who honestly wants to be walking past an endless stream of rotting bin-hubs and fly-tipping on a daily basis?

One single hub in the heart of Edinburgh's scenic #Marchmont this morning. Not exactly a capital image for @Edinburgh_CC in Scotland's capital city: @VisitScotNews @edfests @edinburghpaper @BBCEastScot @EdinburghLive_

Relatively quiet in #Marchmont rubbish-wise, thankfully. Simply the large chest of drawers @Edinburgh_CC has left in situ for , what's the now, THREE weeks? Also the discarded bag, which then became discarded clothes, now joined by a box of "tat" over the last week or two:

The SNP-Greens have blocked a Scottish Parliament inquiry into one of the biggest political scandals in Scotland’s history. That tells you everything you need to know. The culture that allowed Peter Murrell’s crimes to happen is alive and well.

The SNP crucified Douglas Ross for missing parliamentary business to referee football. Now they're sending FOUR ministers on a taxpayer-funded World Cup jolly while Holyrood is sitting. Arrogance. Hypocrisy. Entitlement. That's today's SNP in three words.

Asked Edinburgh Council to clean smelly, dirty communal food bin & mess. Answer? “@Edinburgh_CC does not provide this service”😳 They get people to dump rotting food near our windows with no contract specification for the outcome. 🤢@SmagSocials @edinburghpaper @life_edinburgh

Pop up book shop. Edinburgh. Exquisite! #edinburgh #scotland #dementia

I can't repeat myself too often on this point. The Alzheimer's biomarkers should have no place outside of a comprehensive clinical evaluation. They only have value in identifying the likely pathology once a diagnosis of dementia has been made.

You couldn’t make it up. Bin hubs are a magnet for this.

Bruntsfield taking a bit of a hit rubbish-wise today. Not only uncollected material previously highlighted to @Edinburgh_CC last week, but other stuff elsewhere:

#Sciennes something of a disaster zone. Much like elsewhere it's exactly the same streets as many times before, same problems, but no solutions from @Edinburgh_CC:

No need for the scenic Edinburgh's #Sciennes to feel left out either. Yet again, here's what @Edinburgh_CC considers appropriate for South Meadows residents there to put up with: @edinburghpaper @BBCEastScot @EdinburghLive_

I walked past that this morning. Kudos to whoever styled that chest of drawers as they do look good. Major negative kudos for dumping them and expecting someone else to deal with it.
