Massive thanks to the NHS who are doing a great job with dad now off oxygen (best Christmas present ever) and on Parry ward named after Bath Physician Caleb Parry who wrote about Graves’ disease before Graves did (some countries call it Parry’s disease). Very pleasing for a thyroid geek like myself

Sorry to bring misery and despair to this lovely social media network JAGUAR what on earth have you done! Your core marker is the loveable rogue. Grace to get away with things, space to carry all the "borrowed" cutlery and oil paintings, and pace to leg it. Your new vibe feels very alien.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

You could never organise a peaceful revolution on Twitter as it currently stands. The algorithm would defeat it. But BlueSky? That's another story. It's the perfect place for like-minded people to gather and reinforce each other. Rejoin, anyone?

This seems like an incredibly useful tool. It will tell you which Bluesky users a lot of your followers follow, but you don't. Makes it easy to find other accounts you probably want to follow... bsky-follow-finder.theo.io

Lots of learning points here on SGLT2 inhibitor-associated ketoacidosis! • withhold SGLT2 inhibitors for 72 h before elective surgery to allow 5 half-lives to elapse • SGLT2 inhibitors should be resumed after full oral diet and in the absence of ketosis #AnSky #MedSky buff.ly/3O6qa2C

Utterly tragic read. So many factors at play here, but the thing that gets me is the "partial" observations and that a Black person wasn't believed twice before the patient arrested. These cases are EXACTLY what we are supposed to identify early in the ED. www.mylondon.news/news/health/...
