This is the Ds….

Also, I had a very tough week recently and towards the end of one day I met a teen who told me they liked my glasses because they were cool. Just as I was getting all big in my boots the teen made a comment along the lines of my being terribly old 🤣 the kids keep me real.

Honestly, it’s a privilege. I’ve recently changed rotations and now looking after some very unwell young people, which can be emotionally very challenging, but I wouldn’t do anything else. I love my job and I love seeing the children I’ve looked after a few years down the line. It’s the best.

Families understandably think “but you’ve always managed to fix things before, why not now” and adapting the paper boat story can be really helpful as another way of getting things across.

I think that in paediatrics we are looking after ever increasingly medically complex children, and even in the (relatively) short period I’ve been doing Paeds the boundaries have been pushed significantly. Sadly there is a limit to what we can “fix” and this can be really hard to broach.

Same - and if the palliative care guru uses it then I know I’m in good company! (Albeit with a much younger population)

The story of the Paper Boat. A British Geriatric Society blog from 2018. Let me know if you’d like the full text & I’ll send it to you.

The story of the Paper Boat was a blog I wrote back in 2018 for @gerisoc.bsky.social.

It was an analogy that I found useful to explain to patients and families how difficult it can be to predict the future accurately.

Now as I and my friends get older, I find myself sharing it once again.

I am once again suggesting we try the matriarchy.

I’ve just discovered that the last few days of **gestures at world events that definitely aren’t a distraction** is called “Operation Epic Fury”

What in the fragile masculinity is this?!

Her name was Sarah Everard.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

I would humbly suggest that “resident doctor” has not been universally adapted without issue. Many objected to it because it was blooming daft.

Doesn’t detract from your point though!

I’m sorry to hear about your sojourn to the other side of the drug chart, Trisha. I’m so pleased that things are looking up, and hoping the ship stays stable for you.

You may have read
the headlines & assumed someone had done due diligence & checked the facts before publishing

You’d be wrong

You may still need Doctors in the future, although Nurses ARE amazing at their jobs &
couldn’t do without them

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

There are rumblings about the new host of Bake Off, however I have only seen links to the Sun and the Mirror and I refuse to click on either of those.
