Springsteen on BBC4. Love these little vignettes where he’s touched people’s lives. I never knew about his donation to the Hetton-Le-Hole community during the Durham miner’s strike. Just a special man. #TheBoss #BruceSpringsteen

My wife spent her birthday at Sopwell House having treatments. She wishes she could go back today; that her job is just ‘spa’.

I paid for my children to receive this vaccination. This is very welcome news as the UK has lagged behind other parts of the world where this is commonplace.
Brilliant news for health and happiness of children and their parents in UK! Vaccines are a marvel of human ingenuity, reason, and science motivated by compassion which have transformed our civilisation. We should all do our bit to encourage uptake. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Children offered chickenpox vaccine on NHS
All young children in England and Wales will be offered a free chickenpox vaccine by the NHS from January 2026.

Gordon expends a tremendous amount of energy just charging around without any prospect of winning the football. Lunging in like that is reckless & gives Hooper a decision to make. Completely unnecessary. He has to be a bit more intelligent with his decision making.

I thought I’d try ‘The Good Doctor’ as a doctor myself & the parent of a neurodivergent child. Immediately, it irritated me. Why do many American shows insist on treating their audience like buffoons?

We appreciate the messages about flags being taken last night, and the photos of the culprits too! 😂 Its a shame, and we don’t really know why people feel the need to take them, but it means less at the next two nights. It would be great if anyone who has taken one returns them to the stadium 🏴🏳️

If you don't manage patients with SBO, this brief post is not for you. The risk of SBO is highest following colorectal, oncologic gynecological, or pediatric surgery. I see 1-2 SBO cases per month & recently reviewed the literature:

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳
