WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK? rage rage rage rage rage So much rage these days.

Can't help but notice the more understated approach to memorialising kids slain at school over the years. To be clear: Every death to gun violence an absolute tragedy. #GunViolence #2ndAmendment

Anyone know what's happened to Radio Paradise? All quiet this afternoon... #RadioParadise #SundayListening

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Janey! #TraitorsIrl

Iconic. The Traitors Ireland.

Terrifying for families. Horrifying to patients afterwards. See a lot of feelings of guilt and shame about delirium-driven agitation at our post-ICU clinic. #Delirium #ICUDelirium #ICU #IntensiveCare #PICS

Mind full, or Mindful? Today is #MindfulnessDay so take time to just pause, breathe and be here right now 🙏

A not-so-gentle reminder of why I'm not going back to Tw*tter. For f*cks sake.

“Nobody used the word delirium. I thought I’d lost my mind.” — Delirium survivor ➡️ Always provide clear information, including telling the patient they have delirium, during the episode. Then explain & de-brief afterwards.

#ChatGPT just created a full personality profile for me based on all our chats. V interesting! Summary: “A curious and compassionate optimizer, blending depth, discipline, and empathy to create a life of growth, balance, and meaningful experiences.” Look out MMPI, PAI... #Psychology #Personality

Highway 61, Bob Dylan. *What* a tune. #RadioParadise

Have seen #cocaine related stroke, heart failure, psychosis, seizure and suicidality all in the last year, and all in under 45s. Gather also young people's are being enticed with a "free bag" and then pursued, along with their families, for the debt. No joke. Think carefully before you go there.

Fabulous morning to think of those lost to suicide, and support those currently struggling - Darkness Into Light for Pieta House, Killiney Beach 5:33am A candle lit for one particular colleague lost just last year 🕯 #DarknessIntoLight

Did things just get a whole lot more interesting? A true challenger for Thought Leader across the pond? We shall see.... #PopeLeo

WHAT has happened to the international outcry about Gaza? Eclipsed by the sh*t show that is 🇺🇸🍊 Genocide happening right before our eyes. Unbearable to acknowledge. Unthinkable not to.

Seem to have become a Golf Person since yesterday ⛳️ Didn't see that coming! Thrilled for Rory McIlroy 👏🏆 (And absolutely exhausted after that unanticipated late night) #TheMasters #GrandSlam

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Fabulous Eid treats from a wonderful Consultant colleague (and his wife!) Love the opportunities to share cultures you get working in a hospital environment! #EidMubarak 🌙

I witnessed these asylums as late as 2012: Older adults with lifetimes of institutionalusation in St Loman's in Mullingar, and adults with Intellectual Disabilities in St Peter's in Castlepollard. The word "grim" does not begin to describe it. #StolenIdentities

A patient returned for an ICU visit recently; struggling w/memories of #delirium Met a nurse who provided care. Didn't remember her until.. she took his hand. Memories of her holding his hand, "the warmth", came flooding back. Compassionate care matters. #ICUDelirium #Nursing

I think this tells you what you need to know ☘️

Just in case anyone has any doubt whatsoever, the vast majority of Irish see McGregor as an absolute disgrace. How dare he purport to speak for us. The man is nothing but a self-serving thug.

*Surely* the US needs to break free from the shackles of its two-party system? Surely it has become its own victim? Cannot understand it. Doesn't feel much like democracy 🇺🇸 #USPolitics

"A moment of reprieve comes. A gentle hand reaches through the darkness and lays itself on my contracted soul. A porter tells me what is happening in drip feed... it comforts me." A striking account of #ICUDelirium, and the power of simple, compassionate connection. #WDAD2025 #Delirium

It's World Delirium Awareness Day! Delighted to launch our new info leaflet at TUH Critical Care, supporting families to talk to those with #delirium. Delirium can be a confusing & frightening experience for all. Thanks to @nydahlpeter.bsky.social et al for sharing 🙏 #WDAD2025 #ICUDelirium

Delirium Care in Hospitalized Older Adults Is the complexity of what is asked of clinicians once a diagnosis is made a deterrent to providing good care? Is delirium just too difficult? *Thread* 1/

I strongly believe psychologists have loads to offer in supporting holistic, meaningful healthcare. But time & again we see the anxiety caused by having to rely on unreliable systems. And it's important to be clear that the solution here isnt to see a psychologist, but for usual care to be reliable.

What a time to be alive. Truly shocking.

The wonderful Pop: our ICU Pet Therapy Dog! Not only did he win the Therapy/Guide Dog category, but also won the overall winner of Golden Paw Hero Dog Awards 2025!! 🏆 Congratulations Pop - thanks for all the connection & joy you bring to our patients (& staff!) 🐾 #A2FBundle #PetTherapy #ICUSky

Four young mothers in my world have died in the last year. Each with 2 beautiful young children. It's been really tough to say goodbye to each. Cancer, Sepsis, Suicide. You can play as fair as you want, but life can be cruel. It's also the most precious gift. Wrap each day in love. Hold the good ⭐️

Amazing interview on #TommyTiernanShow. Jordan & Cian Adams, who lost their mum to #FTD at 52, now face their own journeys as gene +ve themselves; spreading awareness & raising funds. Unbelievably cruel condition, but the boys spreading light nonetheless #EarlyOnsetDementia #FrontoTemporalDementia

"What we’re seeing in Trump is the impact of power on the human brain. It acts like cocaine, and in high doses makes people feel elated, super-confident and aggressive – like coked-up late-night revellers on Dublin’s Dame Street throwing the punches at strangers just because they can"

Hospital people: the brightest and best. Also hospital people: #MedSky #NurseSky #WouldYouDoThatAtHome #WhatDidYourLastSlaveDieOf

Sometimes near the end of life one has to decide between more days and better days and that can be hard but it’s rare I’ve seen people regret choosing better days

Catching up w/a man w/metastatic disease on the ward following successful discharge from #ICU "I don't want to go back to there" he says "Has anyone discussed this with you?" I say They hadn't. He'd been too scared to mention it. Medics: Have the conversation. Maybe not easy, but so worthwhile

Was never particularly a fan of #Boyzone, but binge watched the full documentary series tonight - compelling watching; quite upsetting on a human level at times. Without doubt, Louis Walsh has proven himself to be an utterly odious little man. #NoMatterWhat

Had been planning a family holiday to Orlando next year, but feeling increasingly uneasy about it, & from the way things are going, can't see things being better in a year's time. Will be interesting to see if there's an appreciable impact on the tourism economy in the US from Trump. #UnitedStates

My new book ‘The Cancer Roadmap’ was launched today It’s for anyone affected by cancer It tells you what is it, what causes it, how it’s treated, who to trust, how to understand risk + spot red flags on social media when it comes to alternative cures. Get yours here lnk.to/TheCancerRoa...

Seeing the ease at which my 9yo has taken to the Irish language thanks to his immersive education filled with fun, stories and song has been incredible. Irish is a vibrant language, and it's OUR language. And we are failing it, and by extension, failing ourselves. #Gaeilge
