@danielgoyal Exactly. I am ready and willing to do as many cataracts as they want. Instead I sit around twiddling my thumbs. A deliberate strategy I'm afraid to let the private sector in and kill off the next generation of trainee surgeons. Sorry, Patients.

@CeeboCelia @Mohameddharoor No. Patient should be told to get dressed and go away as they will not be treated there. That's what my colleagues did for me at a London hospital. When is this going to be unacceptable or is it only when colleagues have the moral fibre?

@Sutty1958 A common misconception. In fact true total blindness is extremely rare. In ophthalmology this is defined as an eye that cannot perceive any light at all. The term "blind" has now been replaced by visually impaired because of this. Let's try and educate the ignorant.

@SholaMos1 In 1972 when my mother had her third child by caesarean she named her after the obstetrician who did all the hard work. The obstetrician was overwhelmed with delight. Why would you ever object to someone using your name for their new child? It is a very flattering tribute.

@SusieMadrak The gorgeous DaVinci's Last Vision by an artist called Gordon Harris. It reminded me of my late husband's beard and mischievous, twinkling eyes and he bought it for me at a pop up London art show. All pencil, believe it or not - incredible talent.

@irisstylosa @ChristineJameis Not if they honour and learn from every holocaust - slavery, native American, clearances, Cambodia etc but there is an obsession with the Nazi destruction of the Jewish people as the only holocaust in the history of mankind and I would find that objectionable currently.
