Dr Michael Mosley: "I want to give people the confidence and knowledge to safely lose excess weight, boost their immunity and improve their overall health." Once again for the people at the back: You cannot “boost” your immune system through diet. Channel 4 Press

Things that really annoy me; 1) Treating the CRP not the patient 2) Treating every unexplained diagnosis as 'UTI' 3) Deferring rectal exams to other colleagues 4) Equating a low albumin with malnutrition 5) Parenteral nutrition stalling clinical management #TheDinosaurGrowls

I can’t stop thinking about the last words of Elijah McClain💔 #JusticeForElijahMcClain

Did you know that #mushrooms make vitamin D in the sun, but we grow them in the dark! If you flip them upside down on a sunny windowsill for 15 mins, just 7 button mushrooms (or 1 portabella) will give you pretty much all the vitamin D you need for a day! (Based on Aussie sun)

How the NHS works: ‘The hospital’s on fire’ ‘Audit it’ ‘The audit says it’s on fire’ ‘Do an options appraisal’ ‘It suggests the only option is calling the fire brigade’ ‘Write a paper on how you could work without a hospital’

Dear @OatlyUK, speaking as President of British Dietetic Association , I am deeply disappointed with your representation of dietitians, whose role is to encourage a healthy relationship with food. Food is to be enjoyed, not eaten behind the bike-shed in shame.

Why stop at hospitals...

StokeySue 💙 🇸🇾🇲🇲 🇺🇦 Our relationship with food is broken and our relationship with exercise increasingly perverse. #SorryNotSorry

When you tell people to 'just eat real food,' you're ignoring some important things: 1. 'Real food' is technically anything that can be consumed. 2. A lot of people can't afford what you consider to be 'real food', so this shit isn't so simple. 3. You're being an elitist dick.

Phone/Zoom consultations are great but sometimes you just need to be in the room with the patient #NonVerbalCues

Just was inpatient. 3 kids admitted lost dangerous amts of weight to try to avoid ‘Covid weight gain’. 2 others lost weight after being told by a doc they were large. All: bradycardia & malnutrition. Stop telling kids to lose weight & stop making them worry about weight gain.

You might want to retract this tag line Channel 4. Dietitian is a legally protected title. He might get away with calling himself a doctor...but he’s certainly not a dietitian HCPC

This is misleading. There’s no evidence to suggest losing weight reduces risk of coronavirus. Saying this is fundamentally different to saying there’s an observed association between #obesity & #COVID19 mortality. Such unfounded messaging can only serve to generate guilt & blame.

When a friend or acquaintance hits you, the dietitian, with the ol’ “what do you think of this food/diet?” There’s 98% chance that they don’t actually care about your genuine professional opinion, but are looking for you as the genuine professional to reinforce their opinion

Nobody wants to pay for eating disorder services in this country and people are dying as a result. I know this is the case for so many illnesses but three public beds IN THE COUNTRY for people with severe anorexia is not enough. Anorexia is hell but it’s not the only one.

Really? In 2021 ⁦NHS Tayside⁩??

Health professionals: just a reminder - students are humans too! Whatever your frustrations or however stressed you may be, they shouldn’t be a burden, we’ve all been there once! Praise, teach and support 💓👩🏼‍⚕️💻🎓

If you want to watch Operation Transformation, go for it, your choice. But please don't watch it with your kids. Especially if your child has a larger body. They see the side eyes, they know it's directed at them. You're setting them up for an ED. Just don't be that person.
