Stevie the seagull is outside in a flower bed. Started off on a terrace but silly sod must have jumped down. Been calling to other seagulls all afternoon. One came down with food. Stevie drank some water but ignoring the cheese so far.

@AshPoust @AlongsideWild Agreed. According to @MerriamWebster , a seagull is a gull that frequents the sea. The word dates to 1542, and it’s no less valid than any other common name, e.g. duck, warbler, or pigeon.

Diagnosed my first case of Trigeminal Neuralgia due to acute #COVID19 . I’ve heard of ageusia and anosmia, but this is the first I’ve seen of CN5 involvement. It appears that the 🦠 hangs out in the cranial nerves? Anyone else seeing similar cases? #medtwitter #COVID4MDs

Why are patients dissatisfied whilst staff are exhausted? “I think if you re-frame ‘dissatisfied’ as ‘distressed’ it makes more sense. I can be satisfied or not by a movie or a pair of curtains, but the customer model of healthcare is subtly toxic to both sides…”
