Darn, looks like I’ll be missing today’s #OCDTalkHour #sadface. It’s that once a month hackathon for the Global Alliance for Genomic Health (GA4GH), so I guess helping to save the world is more important than a bluesky chat with my mates? TBH it’s a tough call. (this is my idea of humour, 2/n

He’s back! (in the saddle). Sam Nodobby is the host of #OCDTalkHour later today. Mind you, kudos to @notalonetalk.bsky.social and @enoughofthis4.bsky.social who stepped up to facilitate when needed. Okay, seriously (in other words, in jest) are we basically the only 4 who migrated? No, that 1/n

@enoughofthis4.bsky.social Reminder: Back to the "usual" time this week, Lucy, eh. (sorry, now that I am Canadian I feel like I should just add "eh" to the end of almost every sentence).

It’s a weekly chat about OCD and is mainly for sufferers but anyone interested in the condition is welcome. I’m hosting the first Wednesday of every month from now on
Anyone have any topic ideas or questions they’d like me to cover this week?

I’ve already contacted the GMC, the local ICB, NHS England, PCSE and the local MP. The MP’s office has agreed to look into it but didn’t sound hopeful. All the others don’t think they have power to stop the GP

GP would be removing me using the 8 day removal process that allows them to simply say the relationship has irreparably broken down, seemingly without having to justify that claim. It appears there is no one to check they’re telling the truth/they’re not causing the problem by acting unlawfully
