Have you ever read or written a hospital discharge summary? Did it serve its purpose? Did it need more than just ‘the standard information’? Did the template help? We’d love to know what you think of our development ideas on this massive ongoing issue: Over 40 million are written a year! #discharge

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.
