A lesson in life. Call from a colleague today… “Keith, I’ve got a 80 year old man with jaundice and fever from a large 2cm gallstone wedged in the bile duct. He’s on anticoagulation for PE. I just have a bad feeling about him and I think he needs an ERCP today.”

Do you know what’s also damaging to children? Ridiculous amounts of supply Masses of teachers leaving Lack of funding for SEND & special schools Overstretched mental health services Unqualified staff teaching GCSE Huge Ofsted pressure Cost of living But yep those 6 strike days 🙄
