@ProfJDChalmers Glasgow is a wonderful place, but sunny it isn’t- certainly not in February 😂

@charlie_psych Also, I’m sorry to hear that someone you care about is so unwell, hope you are doing ok Charlie

@charlie_psych It saddens me that so few have the opportunity to have hospice care, when many more could benefit, that end of life care is funded by charities rather than the NHS. Cradle to almost-grave care. While there is much good NHS end of life care, hospices are different

@DrHannahLunch I mean, I’m 46 in a few days and I have. Mind you, I have a DNACPR and ReSPECT already and have had “several episodes which could be described as peri-arrests”- I quote from a clinic letter- so perhaps have more reason to have than most🙄🫁

@Girlguiding sending out a survey including a question on how many hours people have volunteered in the last month just after half term is going to underestimate usual volunteering time substantially

Autumnal walk- first time I’ve been up to a walk in about 6 weeks. Asthma definitely settling

@brigidrussell51 There are some really big issues (assisted suicide comes to mind) which need careful ethical consideration - of the pros, cons, unintended consequences etc which have become celebrity driven campaigns- there are many other examples. Politics has become so superficial

@helen_barnowl Yep, pragmatic and getting on with it has been how my mum has coped. She got really p*ssed off at the breast nurses who were “all woe is me” about it 😂

@FatallyY0urs Ouch, I’ll definitely need them in the same arm then. Hope the night settles some for you

@lewisthughes @simonmarkdaley The reality is that if they can’t do a pump, they are much less likely to do the 1-2 hourly prn a patient might need. When you put it like that to the nurses, they can usually see the benefit. I do hospital palliative care so see a lot of this

@HeldinEU Hope you can get more info later

@BlondiieMama Hope something more tasty arrives soon. It is reminiscent of Guide camp for me- not the posh stuff my Guides had at recent camp (croissants and choc spread on the fire, sushi…)😂

@lewisthughes @simonmarkdaley In a hospital setting there is no reason to hold off- there should be enough staffing. You may need to make a best guess and top up, but if someone has significant pain, getting some background in helps. In a busy ward, the prn much less likely to happen so still a guess in am

@adrianjhood @PMccoubrie I mean, an operation is sometimes the best palliative care…

@lewisthughes @simonmarkdaley You would hope so, but even with a line, boluses are more painful than an infusion
