A free talk to 'discover strategies for scaling their venture' and 'generate passive income and build wealth over time' Sounds like a pyramid scheme
The absolute state of this. I’m all for doctors exploring things outside medicine, but that’s the key bit - outside medicine. It’s the highlighted bits that are extremely concerning to see coming from a medical royal college. They are promoting financial conflicts of interest.

I read that many years ago, so always avoided it. I remember when cc'ing the patient became default. I've been writing to the patient cc'ing GP about clinics and results for a few years. Best change I've made.
As an F1, I read something from the BMA or GMC or maybe on DNUK (remember that place?) about not writing “this delightful 82 year old” or “this pleasant 78 year old” in letters. So I never have. But even a decade+ later most(?) letters still do this. And I think pts often like it

Welcome to @Team_ESNEFT Glad to have you onboard. Coffee is key element.
@IamSpurs @Team_ESNEFT (with PPCI at CTC). A very unusual feeling before starting a new job – I already have all my log ins, many of my colleagues have been in touch, got a personal call from the service manager, my leave already approved. Looking forward to it!

#RIPCORD-2 at #ESCCongress Routine FFR assessment at the time of angio: ❌Did NOT ⬇️ the cost 💷 ❌Did NOT improve QoL or angina at 1yr ❌NO impact on mngmt (OMT vs PCI vs CABG) ❌NO impact on clinical event rates In a 🌰: routine FFR (vs angio alone) has NO advantage

Apparently we can only be proud of gold medals. Debate on #BBC News that we shouldn't celebrate anything other than golds. Really? Well done anyone who gets a medal

Can't believe government response to drug deaths crisis is improving access to Naloxone. Cheap 'cure' v complex prevention...

Pre-discharge #echofrist had negligible impact on patient management & led to inappropriate delay in discharge & unnecessary increased #LOS in patients deemed stable 4 discharge. Research at #ASE2021 Is this the end of Friday urgent pre-discharge inpatient requests? Please say so

Great to see more robust ways of assessing heart function in AF. Hope to see fewer reports saying "cannot assess LV function because of AF"

At what point in your career as a doctor do you go from being amazed at the skills of those senior to you, to being amazed at the skills of your juniors?

Proud to be part of #BigVaccsWeekend to vaccinate our brave staff and give medical support. Chatting to one junior doctor, I said it was hard to imagine a worse year and he said he could - my eyebrows raised, he explained that he'd grown up through both Iraq wars. Fair play.
