If you haven’t listened to sophie morgan interview do listen & consider watching her documentary on channel 4 “Fight to Fly”. I was unaware of the issues before my son’s spinal injury. At 17 yrs he has seen many rolling eyes the last three years-upsetting! instagram.com/reel/C-3BSwktq…

Asking advice. Could a patient request a clinician overseeing treatment to write a case report for publication? Could this include the patient view of the journey from diagnosis onwards as well? Case is really rare & lot of learning is to be had from how it has been managed!

We also need to address smoking (second hand smoking) on hospital sites. The agenda with environmental sustainability is one and the same #CleanAir #PublicHealth #Sustainability

It isn’t good enough!! It never has been!!! Ex-Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson says apologies not enough for having to ‘crawl off’ train theguardian.com/sport/article/…

Like many I used to be completely blind to what people on wheelchairs experience on a day to day basis, especially travelling on public transport until the day when my son suddenly became one. I find many of Tanni Grey-Thompson accounts of train journeys depressing but I am not shocked.

Not sure of your evidence for smokers being disproportionately fun people, Tom, but take it from me as a palliative doctor, they most certainly end up disproportionately dead - killed by the companies who grow so fat and rich from the deaths they cause.

I'm old now Old enough to remember the smoke free legislation Everything said today: End of the British boozer A fundamental assault on our freedoms and liberties World stops turning etc Was all said then Almost as if someone dusted off the BAT PR playbook and amplified it...

“There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke, and even brief exposure can cause immediate harm, particularly for the young, elderly, or those with pre-existing conditions such as heart disease”. Hence Hospital Grounds need to be #SmokeFree #SecondHandSmoke #Smoking

Eye watering hearing Tanni Grey-Thompson mention the price of David’s wheelchair: 25K-30K. All the equipment for disability sport is so expensive. I wonder who sponsors or do the athletes self-fund?

Debates on #vaping can be polarised because of not looking at the entirety of evidence in a balanced way👇interview Matthew Evison brings an expert nuanced view. We can’t debate flavours & vaping-an effective tool for quitting smoking-without acknowledging tobacco #smoking harms

Today I can’t help be hit by grief💔The Junior #GNR reminds me of what has been taken away from my eldest. At the age of 14 his sudden paralysis from a rare illness took away his identity then: a runner. In 2021 after spending 8 months in hospital he raised 6K for local charities
