@similima I think the central council of homeopathy had all the opinion they need offered about 10 years ago by Messrs Mitchell & Webb.

@9Nylon I doubt the consultant is going to spend the hour or so actually submitting the paper so the junior should just change it back when submitting and claim innocence /naivety. The process for submission does rather mean it is easy for the submitting author to end up as first author

Had to stop in a motorway service station. One less anti-vax sticker in the world now. The edge of an NHS smart card is quite useful to help scrape it off!

Conversation with my mum yesterday about Service personnel mental health. She (retired teacher) told me (the military GP) that we had very high rates of PTSD. I corrected her. 5 mins later. She tells me, authoritatively, what I've just told her! #mumsplaining

@DrJenGunter Visiting ITU in west Africa, half the patients were eclamptic. The Drs said that 1/3 of the cases the mother or baby dies, 1/3 both die, 1/3 both live. That's life threatening in my understanding of a disease.

Sometimes I love my job. Today I've got a meeting at Edinburgh Castle, so I can escape the crowds and get views like this! #GPTraining #ADMGP

The RAF has changed their hair policy to offer greater choice. Ponytails, plaits, canerows, cornrows, twists or braids, the new policy reflects our diverse Whole Force whilst continuing to uphold the excellent appearance standards expected of serving personnel. #RAFAstra

Back with the #DefenceGPVTS after a break for me. Some old faces & some new. A great timetable created by @tobyjholland our TPD. Taking over from @DefProfGP means me doing the intro and welcome for the first time.

We inherited a large vine when we bought the house and got 17kgs of black grapes off it last year. Finally got round to starting the wine a few weeks ago & first taste while racking off tonight. We appear to have a rather palatable dark rosé with strong cherry flavours!
