Had a request from someone for PhD student counselling/coaching/mentoring. I don't do this - can you make yourself known if you do so people know what options are out there? Thank you 🙏

I know some. A few of mum’s neighbours in Lancashire who are white and old but they are not poor as they prospered through houses that have gone up in value 10x since the 80s and bought a flat in Spain with a remortgage/equity release. Despite being nice to my mum on a personal level they are racist

Desperately sad. We have the means to protect children - but with vaccination rates dropping to their lowest in 10 years, so many are at risk.

Going through the EHRC consultation on guidance following the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. They just want to exclude trans people from public life. They aren’t even hiding it. Not for one service because of sex assigned at birth, not for the other because of presentation.

Excerpt from consultation which reads: “13.3.7 The impact on those who will be excluded from the service includes both the impact on people of the opposite biological sex generally and the particular impact on trans people of the opposite biological sex. In separate or single-sex services, a trans man will be excluded from the men-only service because his biological sex is female, and a trans woman will be excluded from the women-only service because her biological sex is male. Trans people are likely to be
disadvantaged by this, by comparison to people who are not trans.”

Excerpt from consultation which reads “13.5.5 For example, a trans man might be excluded from the women-only service if the service provider decides that, because he presents as a man, other service users could reasonably object to his presence, and it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim to exclude him.”

A colleague has written this, which I think nicely sums up some of the reasons I have mixed feelings about the #AssistedDying bill. No simple right answers here; just tradeoffs - but hopefully we can recognise and help those who are at risk. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

politicshome.com

I consulted marginalised groups on the assisted dying bill – there is fear

The Terminally Ill Adults Bill offers a choice to a small but important group of people who want the option of assisted dying.

A ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rupture of the ventricle contained by the pericardium, and a potentially fatal complication of an MI. This TOE clip shows an LV pseudoaneurysm , with communication between the LV (green*) and the pericardium (purple*) #ansky #cardiosky #echosky #echofirst

In 1884–85, European powers met at the Berlin Conference to divide Africa among themselves without a single African present. What's happening today in the Middle East, is no different. A blueprint for colonial exploitation disguised as diplomacy

Is it reasonable to have the same empirical MAP target in cardiogenic and septic shock? It’s not really the MAP that matters but the perfusion pressure, and that means taking CVP into account. #emimcc #cccsky
