When i worked in Australia I was asked to review a patient who had “pressure of speech” and nurses were concerned might still be manic. Patient did not have pressure of speech but was in fact from Cork. Nurses wouldn’t believe me when I said his speech was totally normal.

@Richwcleve @bschapiroMD @davidhogg111 @NRA Hmm wasn’t a security guard who was preventing a crime get shot the other day because it was assumed he was the “bad guy”. “Good guys with guns” get shot and killed anyway sometimes by law enforcement officers. So more guns is not the answer.

Starting a petition for fitted sheets to have coloured stitching on the hems to indicate size. Eg red for superking, blue for double etc. Save me the weekly struggle of trying to fit 5ft sheet onto 6ft mattress before eventually realising I’ve the wrong sized sheet.

What is the story with people leaving their used rubber gloves all over car parks and parks? Ironic that they wear them to protect themselves from germs but have no apparent qualms about the potential biohazard not to mention litter they produce by just dumping them. Rant over.
