Funny how these "difficult conversations" about the UK always involve attacking already vilified minority groups, rather than say, offering even the mildest criticism of the richest man in the world running an unhinged racist misinformation campaign against us

Musk’s latest intervention is objectively hilarious but the problem of a hideous human using his enormous wealth & power to promote lies & liars in the U.K., despite having no links to or other interest in the country, remains acute.

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work. We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

AI is generally & mostly bad for higher education & we should not participate in the simplistic charade that it is a technological panacea/innovation that will make learning & instruction better & everyone who does not agree is a stupid Luddite.

However the response by the @GMC is bordering on bizarre www.rcoa.ac.uk/sites/defaul... They state this should be based on ‘evidence’ …..the College has done a good job in trying to gain, assimilate & disseminate what evidence there is. There is not much! What has the GMC done? 2/2

£10bn is more than all of the cost to eradicate the NHS high and significant risk maintenance backlog (the 'will disrupt treatment if it doesn't just kill people' problems). Cost in 2023/24 was £7.6bn. Which would be a better use of this money if it was just knocking about somewhere.

That's great! But don't let being close make you complacent for the next round. It gives you reassurance that you're doing well, but there's still a need to work. Rest up now for a month or so now though, you deserve a break no matter the outcome!

There are “do more” types of intensivists and “do less” types of intensivists. Having one type on days and one type on nights can make for a rough week.

Last night I did an in plane arterial line insertion after seeing the discussion yesterday... And there's something quite satisfying about watching the wire fly in! But I'll stick long term with DNTP as I find it's easier in trickier patients i.e deeper, anatomical variants

I’d argue most of the migration is straight up free market behaviour - people don’t like the terrible product that X has become, and want to take their custom elsewhere. ‘But you’re deserting the town square’ is just a lazy excuse for bad business choices.

The level of unhappiness in the state of healthcare in America is extraordinary. The US and the UK have profoundly different healthcare models, yet the levels of unhappiness are probably equal. Corridor care or bankruptcy?

I am seeing a lot on social media about a certain celebrity and “banter” and how some see it as harmless and women do not. There is criticism of women who speak out years after the event. A few comments as I have some experience of “banter” in medicine 1/? #MedSky

The obsession with segregating STEM from humanities is kind of mind boggling that one of the most famous engineers of Western society in the popular imagination, DaVinci, was a polymath who embodied this relationship.
