All of us who work in the @NHS will hate this analysis and try to nullify it but ‘Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things’. Winston Churchill x.com/theifs/status/…

This is a potential game changer. Data on your previous searches are used by Facebook Twitter Google to target advertising. Imagine the potential benefits to society if they used this data to promote health rather than advertising x.com/erictopol/stat…

Imagine... if Anthem or Medicaid or your employer (Amazon!) had full access to your browsing history to show you ads, enticements and/or threats to do/buy stuff that will "keep you healthy" (= save them money)... Imagine that... and imagine also how "healthy" could be defined... x.com/ravinder_vohra…

Most important book I have read this year. It draws on our lack of understanding of proportions; our ability to be manipulated by media and our inability to understand perspectives. I admit I bought this because Bill Gates bought a copy for every college grad. I am glad I did

The NRCM 2018 had a good study to inform and lead this but despite an attempted data collection nothing materialised. Study conception is easy. Study delivery is difficult x.com/dnepo/status/1…

Thanks for sharing Derek O'Reilly - this is important We would never turn up to the start line of a marathon not having trained. So why do we expect patients to turn up to have a physiological insult of an operation without being pre-optimised? x.com/derekaoreilly/…
