In the 2,500 yo inscription, Cyrus declares:
βI returned to these sacred cities, the sanctuaries of which have been in ruins for a long time, and I gathered all their inhabitants and returned to them their dwellings.β
A message of tolerance and freedom of worship, or not worship.
A freedom to be.

So many fourth year students @liverpooluni.bsky.social
are getting in contact for research projects, audits, case reports & just to observe in clinics and theatres
Hard to keep up with enquiries, but I absolutely love to see the enthusiasm π€

Always lovely to host a session at the biophilic Spine Building in Liverpool, and we always have fantastic energy from our residents and fellows, as siloes between specialties break down

Last month we had a fantastic #Uveitis NW meeting at RCP Spaces at the Spine, highlighting why collaboration between specialities is vital, taking lessons from House MD about avoiding anchoring & spotting masquerades.

Injustice is a global contagion, and as medical professionals, we don't get to choose which "patients" deserve our voice. The "essence" we share is universal and the duty to protect life is absolute. π

Rest in peace our colleague, General Physician Dr Maryam Zardasht from Shiraz, who was beaten to the verge of death by IRGC forces for treating wounded Iranian protestors. She died after a week in ICU

No one should lose their sight for demanding a voice.
We are all human beings and have a responsibility to each other. Thank you to those who speak out for others regardless of your politics/beliefs.

These are sombre days for those of us with family in Iran. Sometimes it's good to keep busy and there's nothing better than a good NHS Uveitis clinic with no DNAs π―

6,000 ocular trauma cases at one Tehran eye hospital (Noor) alone over the last week.
God knows what these people are going through...
#Iran #DigitalBlackoutIran
I haven't heard from my family in Iran, but just spoke to a fellow Ophthalmologist who briefly was able to use satellite.
The eye trauma cases, civilians indiscriminately targeted by regime forces with shotguns, is being under-reported.
Eye centres can't cope, they are broken.
Finally being picked up by the media:
We already saw this awful practice of targeting civilians' eyes in the #WomanLifeFreedom protests
Eye centres like Farabi Eye Hospital are unable to cope:

Veiled by the #DigitalBlackout in Iran: regime security forces deliberately target protesters' eyes.
Over 500 severe eye injuries were reported in Farabi eye hospital over 48 hours. Thoughts with victims and the ophthalmology staff who are working in a healthcare crisis:
medium.com/doctoryak/ey...
Many hospitals in Iran are now inundated
Thinking of all of those who can't access healthcare now, and the clinicians too, especially with Ophthalmology centres such as Farabi Eye Hospital which are unable to deal currently with eye trauma π₯π«
Disappointed, but not surprised, by the words and actions of Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society.
What an insult to the scientists who were killed under authoritarianism. To women, over the centuries, who had to combat misogyny in the sciences.
