Some jobs wear you out. After 40 years as an emergency doctor I'd had enough. I retired just before Covid struck and refused to go back.

True, you make it sound more like hard work.

Forget about saying anything. Social media is a game, in which the goal is to have as many followers as possible.

I developed medical apps for Palm Pilots, back in the day. The iPhone was too expensive for us, but we regrouped when Android came out.

Circumcision has no medical benefits, but it does make it more difficult for men to masturbate.

We forget it now, but once Flash reigned supreme. Every website had a Flash intro, totally unrelated to the rest of its content.

Who pays for an emergency Caesarian? Yes your healthcare system is a scam, but it's not all about the money.

I guess that proves general artificial intelligence, right?

We could infer it, but nobody could see it because it was all done with crypto.

If you are lonely and looking for a life partner, let me offer you this Buddhist proverb: All you can do is become worthy. It will not happen by itself. You have to be ready for it, so that it can happen. And the moment you are, the rain will come. Stop searching elsewhere and focus on yourself.

Before Brexit, the NHS benefited from a regular influx of EU doctors.

Trump's bluster and his overt threats of military action are not working anywhere in the world. The reason is obvious to anyone who is not American and to many who are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPsQ...

I find it puzzling that so many people think that reading books is inherently virtuous.

You have to find a job that you enjoy doing. Medicine will definitely steal your life but it gives you the incomparable joy of saving lives.

If the Houthis attack an American ship with a drone costing $10,000, the Americans can stop it with a missile costing $10,000,000. No problem. But what happens when the Houthis send another drone, and another one? Eventually the ship will run out of missiles and the drones will get through.

The military industrial complex formed after the Vietnam war has given America the most powerful armed forces ever assembled. But it's also the most expensive, and it's vulnerable to technologies that didn't even exist when it was conceived in the 1970s.

What's the difference between haha and lol? Are they both forms of punctuation? If so, why use them all?

Colab notebooks would greatly improve your presentation. Yeah I know, Google is the great Satan, but still...

it's all about bombing the crap out of people you've never heard of. That's what Makes America Great Again.

It's remarkable how much this sort of clinical research has expanded our understanding of the immune system. If you have an idea, conduct an experiment. It's the only way to make progress.

It's just you, but the rest of us are enjoying your bandwidth and are grateful for your sacrifice.

Yeah, but bombing the crap out of people you've never even heard of is what Makes America Great Again.

I'm Sri Lankan and cook a curry regardless. Technically I'm Irish but I've only been here for 5 years and I'm still getting used to that.

Many patients also assumed that I was Muslim. The NHS has very strict rules about religion in the workplace, and I was unable to challenge them about this. I did however realise that most British people are not Christians in any meaningful sense, even though they claim that they are,

The NHS always has been an unwelcoming country for overseas doctors. I should know, I worked in it for over 30 years, without ever becoming a British citizen. I was regularly called a Paki, even though I look nothing like one. Anyone able to find Sri Lanka on a map would realise why this is so.

When I was writing a novel that was partly set in America, I found myself rejecting plot lines as too fanciful, only to find out that they were true.

I'm a South Asian Catholic. We have lost our strongholds in Goa and Kerala, and our numbers in Sri Lanka are greatly reduced. Donald Trump has never acknowledged our plight, and probably doesn't even know that we exist.

When did Christians start celebrating Christmas? Constantine may have settled on 25th December himself. It's the sort of thing he did, and he wasn't someone you made a habit of disagreeing with.

I run Android Studio quite happily on my 8GB Chromebook, but that's cheating.
