    5 times more people died of alcohol related cirrhosis in the UK today than #COVID19 A sobering thought and why investing in alcohol reduction policies and liver services is beyond vital. #novaccineforcirrhosis @LiverTrust @BASLedu #livertwitter

    Replying to @Jonathansegal85
    I had rejection after rejection when trying to publish a manuscript that back in 2003 suggested that inflam was a driver of HE in cirrhosis. Reviewers said: nonsense! @JHepatology finally agreed to publish 2.5 yrs later. It is my most highly cited paper now. Don’t ever give up.

    Hey #livertwitter - I have a question..... Why does everyone call cirrhosis #livercirrhosis ??? The development of cirrhosis is unique to the liver. So many papers have #livercirrhosis needlessly in the title. @AASLDtweets @EASLedu @ebtapper @adyeoman @LTxJournal
