Physiotherapist, clinic owner, mum, Londoner.
One more day until i find out whether the huge fee increases I was forced to impose to stay solvent, after the last barrage of taxes, will be enough for my business to be secure.
The small business owner's lament.
I have questions.

I remember Vallance and Whitty saying we needed to get some immunity in the population. I remember Whitty saying our winter wave was less severe due to a later first lockdown. I remember the AZ vaccine was delayed (would have been september) because the UK Covid prevalence was too low to test it.

Well this is a new one.
An email purporting to be from my company (of whom I am the only shareholder) to myself notifying me of a payrise and undoubtedly targeting my staff in order to rob them.
Changing the sender's name to my company's makes it feel much more personal. C**ts.

Reading the Chinese spying piece in the Times brought this exchange to mind. This was last week on LinkedIn.
1) why would i have an unpaid intern? It's immoral.
2) why would i want to give remote access to my entire patient database to someone who wasn't working for me & had signed the GDPR stuff?

I reckon you could have an entire sitcom based in the bed department of Peter Jones. i could sit here all day without getting bored.

Interesting this.
In Paris, they put the art drawn on screens on to be displayed on screens. And it was mesmerising..

Cauda equina syndrome gives MSK physios sleepless nights.
Don’t be surprised if your physio asks about bladder / bowel function, sensation and sexual function. CES is an emergency with catastrophic results if missed.

Medical negligence meant that doctors failed to diagnose Toni-Claire Miller’s back pain as cauda equina syndrome. She wants increased awareness of the condition

How can you make these claims whilst admitting you didn’t look at intensity? Or if there was a reason why people chose not to walk for more than 15 mins every day? Or whether those that did, did so because they have a dog, known to have other beneficial effects? Bah
Daily steps more beneficial in ‘one long walk’ not shorter strolls
Early death and cardiovascular disease are significantly lower in people who go walking for longer than 15 minutes, a study shows

This idea ignores the physical activity paradox.
Movement, when taken by choice or recreationally, has a net anti-inflammatory, calming effect on our systems.
If you are compelled to take it with someone else deciding and dictating pace, the opposite occurs.

This is such a good piece.
Many of the dominant voice are fuelled by anecdote, which attracts similar anecdotes, seemingly creating a body of evidence.
But if you come to an opinion through anecdote, it is almost impossible to remain uncorrupted by it.

I paid for my own DEXA scan.
Unable to take systemic HRT (without awful side effects) I was concerned about fragility fractures. I am armed with the information i need to make the right health choices going forwards, and I’ll recheck in 5 years.

Evo menos.? I was in Bolivia when Evo Morales was elected president. Everywhere there were flags and banners proclaiming ‘Evo Mas’ with a great groundswell of feeling that someone finally cared about the indigenous population and the environment.

Loved this.
I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been asked ‘when are you getting out of London?’
I grew up in the countryside and found it deeply boring and pretty oppressive. Maybe that was the rain in the west of Scotland, but still.
Ill never tire of it.

London has everything a child could need
As families leave the capital in droves, it’s time to remember that there is little to compare with growing up in the city

Kids with spiky profiles (ie really good in some areas and poor in others) are chucked out of school if they don’t pass a Maths and English test under exam conditions that don’t favour them.
It doesn’t matter how brilliant and talented they are in subjects they’d take at A level, they’re out.

Bugbear on PC updates.
Why am I now getting ads on startup? I know about team viewer, thank you: but since we were told by our IT guy to make sure we were all on windows 11, each computer in the practice has team viewer ads when we switch on.
And i can’t find where to turn this off.
Grrrrr

Traditionally, white collar job prospects have favoured those with high processing speeds. AI can do this faster, and will become more accurate with time.
Perhaps our more creative, imaginative, neurodivergent population will become those most in demand.
