The Christmas BMJ hosts a beautiful dictionary for medicine's unnamed moments, curated by @drmattmorgan.bsky.social Stilltone really spoke to me thedictionaryofbloodandsilence.com

"Until we fix the printers, mend the mortar, and confront the politics, no plan will hold together—no matter how expert the writing” A truly stand out piece from @drmattmorgan.bsky.social on the 10yr plan that cuts through all the fluff. Exactly the kind of take we need. www.bmj.com/content/bmj/...

In 1913, Dr. Charles Huff brought medicine to Wyoming’s frontier. He built Jackson’s first hospital, library & even wrote replies to Santa letters. A doctor, mayor & pioneer—his legacy lives on. 📍More: authory.com/drmattmorgan... #RuralHealth #LegacyInMedicine #Cynefin

"I want to stay fiercely neutral. And this is not a cop-out." @drmattmorgan.bsky.social explains why he has kept quiet about whether we should allow assisted dying www.bmj.com/content/389/...

I'm listening back to my fav bits of @drmattmorgan.bsky.social #book #Critical whilst on brisk walk e.g.🫀Heart chap: has numerous well explained aspects ➡️ #springboard to enthuse a #Paramedic & other cinical students to learn for understanding: #Anatomy & #Physiology #Pathophysiology #Pharmacology

Five years ago I wrote a letter that was only meant to be read by my close family and friends. Days later, it had been read by millions. Those five years have gone in a flash, yet will remain forever.

Either nuance is dead or it’s not.

A message from me about our brand new, first episode ever @accpchest.bsky.social Humanities podcast ❤️‍🩹

Words have power. Let’s harness them. @HumanimalTrust studenttimes.org/news/humanim...

On Valentine’s Day I want to fix a heart. ❤️ Why not have CPR as a 15 min online mandatory training module for all UK businesses? ❤️ Let’s learn how to save a life instead of the printer paper jam etiquette policy. That’s why I included it in the back of my book A SECOND ACT.

I'll be chatting about archaeology and history as I try out the new Civ 7 game. Join me for a livestream in about an hour! youtube.com/live/ih1hg1B...

🎧 What's the world's longest cardiac arrest? In our latest Podcast @drmattmorgan.bsky.social talks about the story behind this record. He describes what he found in his book that looks at near death experiences Spotify🔗 open.spotify.com/episode/1ZtB... Apple🔗 podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/p...

Join us tomorrow at 4pm UK/11am EST for a livestream conversation with @drmattmorgan.bsky.social about his new book A Second Act: what nearly dying teaches us about really living LINK: youtube.com/live/pZX3BQT...

I haven’t been fully engaged here for a while but my review of the brilliant A Second Act by @drmattmorgan.bsky.social out from @simonschusteruk.bsky.social might explain why! lindasbookbag.com/2025/01/27/a...

This book is an inspiring read: a meditation on what people who are sick enough to die, & who then survive, learn from that experience. These are stories about people you'll feel you know, & their wisdom is uplifting. Happy #PubDay, @drmattmorgan.bsky.social bit.ly/A2ndAct

www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j... Looking forward to this new book by Matt Morgan, who came on my radar in the pandemic with excellent weekly insights from hospital setting he worked in at the time, in BMJ podcast.

@drmattmorgan.bsky.social you are here!

Thanks @timadamswrites.bsky.social s for your kind words about A SECOND ACT in @theguardian.com's Book of the Week. “We have two lives. The second begins when you realise you have one.” www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...
