Why isn't a single western government or campus or student union or city march or celebrity ally protesting about this obliteration of Afghan women, ever, let alone every Saturday?

Don’t want to beat the gender drum but if a nation of men were stripped of their basic human rights I’m pretty sure there’d be a louder chorus of disapproval. We can’t abandon Afghan women. No talking in the street: how the Taliban silenced women like me https://t.co/YSXocZEgrM

Valproate (VPA) is teratogen for women. Evidence to NOT prescribe VPA in men & those with severe ID given benefits on seizures/mood is lacking. Our recent r/w discuss inadvertent harm of raising doubt without good evidence. FREE ACCESS/DOWNLOAD @CiderCft https://t.co/47DPPd7GRZ

It’s alarming that supply issues and policy changes are leading to more people having uncontrolled seizures. Asking people to switch, mix and match meds is no strategy for controlling seizures. SUDEP Action is concerned this will lead to increased epilepsy risks and more deaths.

My heart goes out to all families featured in last night's BBC doc who lost children to SUDC. But @BBCPanorama why oh why when featuring children who died from seizures didn't you mention #SUDEP*? From a SUDEP-bereaved mum who feels let down💔*Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

This week I discharged a young person with mental health issues home from ITU. The very best help - in fact the only health as NHS MH services weren’t interested - we could give them was offered by a charity: this is NOT RIGHT.

Don’t miss this piece - and definitely don’t miss this terrific new series for @BBCSounds - the idea that exercise ‘steals’ energy from harmful body processes is a revelation … and you don’t have to do that much!

Tomorrow, at 15:45, my short story Mudlarks will be available to hear on BBC Radio 4. Set on the river Thames, Mudlarks is about what it's possible to find, and what we may lose, which is ultimately beyond our control... https://t.co/EJk8khjg8K

Ultra-Processed People is the @thetimes science book of the year. Hard to express how much this means to me - thanks to the hundreds of contributors and collaborators who did the research it is based on, and who continue to demand that real food is made affordable and available.

absolutely beautiful work by @CatherineECarr listen if you can.

On a dreary work day this made me laugh so much 🤣

Also this from ⁦@LdnGMC⁩ which was so incredibly moving there was full on sobbing at the back ⁦@feed_london⁩

A national system that helps spot serious illness in children & gives extra weight to parental concern is welcome. But a score alone cant reverse deep cultural issues and biases - which is why #MarthasRule, which puts power in patients hands, is necessary

Daniel, 4, was seen four times in A&E before being diagnosed with sepsis, but it was then too late. His utterly devastated parents spoke to @scottcaroline. Why are hospitals still making these awful mistakes? @SepsisUK @UKSepsisTrust https://t.co/ARZdSM91Lz

In many years of medical reporting this was the most upsetting interview in memory. The horror of what this family went through won't leave me @SepsisUK @Jason__Watkins Agonised words of grieving mother who took her son to A&E four times https://t.co/nhbSqIFh4f via @MailOnline

As Downs Syndrome Awareness month draws to a close I wanted 2 share that living with no inhibition, embracing everything you experience, calling every1 you meet 'fella', worrying about nothing but Brentford, believing in Santa & the tooth fairy its really a lovely way to be.

I’m so tired of investors earning millions of pounds out of children in care while providing substandard homes and not giving a f…
