@drgrantgibson.bsky.social Standing at a gig last night and reflecting on age and things, and realised it wasn’t 1998 that I did my GCSEs but flippin’ 1988!!! Maybe I’ll just stick with shaving 10 year off my age!

Isnt it just. For the cost of treating two people with lecanemab you could employ an admiral nurse and I know what would have greatest impact out of the two.
