My late daughter’s surgeon performed a double mastectomy, missed the TNBC tumour, hid his error and retired with an ‘impeccable career’. He outsmarted the GMC Rule 12 investigation, avoiding accountability. I am watching the medical register.

UK voters : The corrupt grifters in Reform plan to replace our NHS with an American style insurance based system 600,000+ Americans go bankrupt yearly due to medical bills. Many thousands more suffer or die due to insurance claim denials or lack of money. A vote for Reform = a vote for death

Is Andy Burnham really “abolishing” the triple lock on the state pension? No. He has promised to keep it for the current Parliament. From 2030, he proposes a different formula – designed to keep pensions rising, while lifting the fear of social care costs. Here are seven facts you need.

Burnham to pass law scrapping pension triple lock before next election. Risks handing advantage to opposition parties who will argue the opposite. Will alienate some senior voters. Risks Labour backbench rebellion, repeat of the Winter Fuel Payment episode. Numerous ways of funding triple lock.

The disparity between breast cancer survival in high and low income countries is HUGE 💔. The @who.int Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) could avert 2.5 million deaths by 2040. Raise awareness! Talk to colleagues! Write to leaders! Post and repost! Let's do it. 🤗🙏 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth
Summary findings
Global median five-year breast cancer survival: 77.8%
between 2017-2021

Low-income countries:
41.9% five-year survival
(fewer than 1 in 2 women)

High-income countries:
87.3% five-year survival
(nearly 9 in 10 women)Closing the gaps in breast cancer care
The WHO Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI brings countries and partners together to reduce inequalities in breast cancer outcomes and save lives.
The initiative aims to achieve
three targets:
• 60% of invasive breast cancers are diagnosed at stage I or II
• 60 days from the first detection or presentation of symptoms at health facility to getting a diagnosis
• 80% of people diagnosed with breast cancer receive the recommended complete treatment

Millions of UK workers withdrawing from pension schemes to make ends meet Consequence of low wages and high cost of living forcing people into hardship choices - living now v income in retirement. They will have lower private pension in later life and state pension isn't enough even now.

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States
