am currently in the last bit (I hope) of a scoping review and feel that covidence should give you a gold star and a cocktail voucher for say every 20 extractions that you do someone should trial an intervention

@wesstreeting :it's possible to have underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis at the same time. Commercial influences have massive impacts->more resources going from those least likely to benefit + those that need better resources don't get them...all are harmed https://t.co/xdQN2Zq5Ri

The surge in mental ill health is hugely distressing. That’s why I’ve commissioned a review to find out what’s driving it, says health secretary Wes Streeting

Well now. I have to say #ImACelebity - and I genuinely never thought I’d say this - has collapsed me into a bubbling heap tonight. Genius.

@BDevlin1 That’s absurd, and Pope Leo knows better. Presumption of innocence is a civil principal and lacks moral force when the trial to prove guilt, or by default, innocence, is not an impartial trial. Church trials of clergy rapists are notoriously kangaroo court trials. 1/2

A very good experience @NHSHighland ward 3C today. Be extremely proud of all the staff on that ward and make sure you tell them how valued they are. To those who prayed and wished me well. Thank you so very much. All went well. Nothing sinister. #Prehabilitation works.

5 years since @slorance was taken from us, a piece of our family gone forever. Those who knew the risk to life the defects of the #QEUH posed, the choices made & the gambles taken, will be held to account in the name of all those harmed & killed. #QEUHinfectionscandal

Time for women to withdraw their labor in the Catholic Church. Let the bishops make their own beds and wash their own underwear

@WelchJacinta Incidentally, clericalism has its own caste system too. One deacon worked in a parish where the priest always referred to him by his first name - but even after years, still insisted the deacon refer to him (even in private) as ‘father’.

I hated Bernard Manning. Even as a child. He makes me sick. Physically and mentally. But I never remember him making jokes about gassing Jews. Farage is a piece of shit. You can see what he’d have been like at school. Because he’s the same now. And he’ll be the same in the future

Last day of #prehabilitation . And what an ending. The stunning village of Cromarty has beautiful clear air.

@BDevlin1 We need a Church with equal rights for all and with spiritual leaders, not a hierarchy. The Catholic Church has veered very far off the path, fuelled by greed for power and wealth. Irish people largely boycott it, if it wasn't for our migrants our churches would be almost empty.
