Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse. Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.

New study finds: Daily use of weed, mostly via smoking, was tied to a 25% increased chance of heart attack and a 42% increased chance of stroke compared with not using weed. Weekly use was tied to a 3% increased chance of heart attack and a 5% increased chance of stroke.
