Vaping in cars carrying children to be banned in England Rising evidence that secondhand vapour from e-cigarettes poses health risks, government says www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Passing my train journey with @ronanhession.bsky.social Loving the deceptively simple prose, and the quirky characters. Reminiscent of an Irish Under Milkwood.

Pain is very common in hospital patients. As is delirium. As is distress associated with delirium. Pain is also commonly present in patients with delirium. So: always assess for pain in delirium, including using observation as well as directly asking the patient.

Just been accused by the 12 year old of being "cringey" whilst dancing in my front room (big windows looking out onto the street) to Siouxsie and The Banshees. My work here is done

Better than the real ones!!!

Let's look at delirium and dementia: Episodes of delirium: more rapid progression of dementia. Delirium survivors: x3-fold higher risk of future dementia. ➡️ We really need the support of dementia charities in helping improve delirium care. #delirium #dementia #medtwitter

This is wonderful

Britain isn’t being “colonised.” It’s living with the consequences of the empire it built. If Britain didn’t colonise the world, the world wouldn’t be in Britain. History isn’t inversion. It’s accountability.

"Although I have no doubts whatsoever that the care I received was of the highest order, I still feel today that my #delirium was seen as an acceptable side effect of my illness and treatment."

My son had an English quiz today where they asked him the past tense for "think".. He told me, he "thought and thought and thought and finally responded with thank"

I think the first time I went to the Ingleton waterfall trail must have been in the late 60s early 70s. I would be about eleven. I remember it was a red hot day and the four and a half miles seemed an awful long way. Part way round though, there was a stall/hut selling homemade lemonade.

Shocking reality: 1 in 4 older hospital patients develop #delirium, yet most families have never heard the word. We need to do much better in improving public awareness of delirium.

Women are not protected by the law. I discovered this at the age of 18 when I was doing a qualification in journalism (in a gap year before university) & was required to do some court reporting. I sat in on a couple of rape cases & a child rape. It was a real eye opener. System favours the perps.

This is what SM should be about. I never knew these terms until today.

Thank you, Comrade. See a Massive Sweaty Nonce, say that's a Massive Sweaty Nonce. If only other Citizen Journalists would ask the same Legitimate Questions.

My 12 year old has suddenly started to read without being nagged. She is now reading for pleasure it appears. This has never been something she has ever done before. Is this typical of teens / pre teens? Her mother and I are invetrate bookworms and have been puzzled by previous reluctance #books

The sheer audacity of a non-dom billionaire from the UK referring to immigrants as colonisers. The barefaced cheek. This racist claptrap has to end.

This world leading Journalism by Lyse Doucet of BBC makes the tabloid journalism by Chris Mason, Laura Kuenssberg etc all the more infuriating.. Because their pro right wing PR broadcasting detracts from all the great stuff that comes from the BBC 🤷🏼‍♂️

Per the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, total tariffs imposed by the Trump administration cost the average American household $1,000 last year. That amount could climb to $1,300 this year. Contrary to propaganda, those tariffs come straight out of the pockets of U.S. consumers: a massive tax increase.
