Some stupid fuckers on this site - when we talk about bed capacity - the limitation isn't the frame and the mattress, if it were we'd have cracked covid with the DFS sale in Jan 2021.

- If you want to see the moral bankruptcy of estate agents, and the insanity of London's rental market. This is the flat I am moving out of that we pay £1700 per month for! An increase of over 100%!
- So this Tues it finally happened. A knock on the door at 630am, I clamber from bed confused and wondering who the fuck it could be. I open the door to find a Sainsbury's delivery man holding a crate with a sole bottle of Bollinger. An order I had created with the sole intention
- Getting on the property ladder as someone single and without parental backing is a nightmare, particularly in London. Does anyone have experience with 5% deposit mortgages? Appreciate the rates higher, but I'm currently dumping £1.8k on rent per month.
- This is why I love London and couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
- So being a gay infection doctor I am used to getting messages from friends regarding PEP/PrEP. But last few days have had quite a few messages from worried friends. So thought I'd create a tweet of my advice following the current guidance that is developing and in flux.
- Replying to @Microbedoc2of adding groceries and removing the champagne, that I had unfortunately forgotten about 😭🤣.
- I'm really sick of reading that those dying with covid either have comorbidities or are elderly. Having a comorbidity doesn't make them expendable. Being elderly doesn't make them expendable either.
- A junior doc that attempted suicide informed me that they were investigated by GMC & given formal warning for bringing profession into disrepute! What an archaic & cruel regulatory body we have. How can mental illness be considered a professional failing? I am disgusted.
- Called last night at 1am about an almost pan-resistant organism. First time in ages since I've needed to remote in and review all the microbiology at night to formulate a plan. I wonder if the rest of healthcare appreciates how common these organisms are becoming and the
- Monkeypox was discovered in 1958. It is about to get more research funding and study than in any of the last 64 years because it has become a potential threat to rich western countries. In a globalised world we cant keep seeing communicable disease as someone else's problem.
- Doing mandatory training that has expired for a job I have 5 weeks left in, so I can get my appraisal signed off is exactly the type of pointless shite that leaves the NHS wallowing in a sea of inefficient bureaucracy.
- ID exams: A man eats unpasteurised cheese at a deli, he is chased & bitten by a dog from which he flees via a river he presents to the hospital with fever & confusion. His new male partner informs you he was recently in a hotel in Spain where others became unwell. What organism?
- The BCG was first developed in 1921...It remains the only vaccine used for TB. COVID-19 has 12 developed in less than one year. If you think the 100 year lag for TB is because it has a complex immunological response rather than it is a disease of poverty, then you'd be wrong.
