Borderline personality disorder is not an 'illness of character'. It is an umbrella term that enables contempt, abuse and neglect both in and outside of psychiatric services. It covers up complex trauma, neurodivergence, discrimination, bipolar and PMDD, sometimes fatally.
It’s giveaway time!!! I have a spare proof of #TheEchoesOfUs by Emma Steele & have added chocolate, a candle & a face mask for a relaxing night in! To enter, follow me & @MtLeopardPress and RT this tweet before midnight 30 April. Good luck! 💕
The way this reads is that a frail delirious patient was intubated. And then some stuff happened
Really interesting learning point for me today whilst discussing pre-hospital delivery of babies of extreme preterm gestation… If gestation unknown and baby born with BOTH eyelids COMPLETELY fused then the baby is less than 22+0
Great thread for those not quite sure how always to score the CFS

📣 New paper!! This one looks at #paramedics screening patients who might benefit from an #AdvancedCarePlan 🚑 Link below 👇 #PalliativeCare #prehospital @capcbristol @CHCR_UWE @swasftResearch @UWE_Research @UWELibrary tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Saw 3x high blood pressures in A&E over night sent in by pharmacy first and 111. The highest BP was around 180/95, nothing to suggest end organ damage. Did everyone get a memo that I missed? Why are these patients suddenly being sent to A&E? What am I going to do at 3am?
#OverlookedWomen: Rosalind Franklin. Died 16 April 1958, aged 37 Crystallographer who took Photo 51, the first known X-ray image of the DNA double helix. Watson, Crick & Wilkins later shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine & Physiology.
Excellent read @heli_med_james and really nice to see a #paramedic write an RCEM learning.

@999echo_ Best patients ever. Sometimes I think they do as much for us by restoring our soul as we do for them by treating them 😂

The ambulance gods have a funny way of knowing when I’m feeling a bit disheartened and throwing me some wonderful patients that remind me why I do the job.
My mentor would always ask me 3 questions prior to doing a clinical assessment. 1. Why am I doing this? 2. What am I looking for? 3. What will you do with it? These 3 questions challenged my critical thinking by justifying my reasoning, which made my actions purposeful.
Dad is 91 today. In case any fans of his are wondering… yes, he still reads his newspaper lying on the floor like a kid reading a comic…
This is terrifying. Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story. What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform. 1/4
Please please please Don’t prescribe trimethoprim to anyone on methotrexate, even if they’ve stopped it for a little while. Pleeeeeeeease. K, thanks ✌️
I'm a Dr & I struggle to eat my 5 a day because it's SO expensive. Want to reduce strain on the NHS? Start with primary prevention including nourishment. We need a commitment from the government to make fruit & vegetables cheaper than junk food. Let's get the basics right!
@catslaveto4 I've come to think of suicidal thoughts as a kind of cancer, with remissions, recurrence, and sometimes recovery,. It seems as if having once had the thought, it is incredibly difficult to eliminate it. Finding ways to carry on living well is the struggle for so many

An actual conversation with a patient this week: Patient: “What’s that in your ear?” Me: “That’s my earring, sir.” Patient: “Well you better take it out before someone thinks you’re a queer.” Me: “Well the thing is sir… I am a queer” Patient: 🤯 Me: 💅🏻
So yesterday I went swimming at my gym did 40 lengths got out the pool had a shower then got into the jacuzzi when I had a cardiac arrest and drowned luckily for me the lady in there grabbed me alerted life guards who got me out shocked me back to life with a defib and cpr ❤️

I know this might sound really uncool but I’m so past that I’ve never been more excited to be having a Friday night in, pyjamas and telly on, food and then an early night. Honestly I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else
@vickiGPN This is likely a mistake in the advert? I thought you had to be 3 years post grad. Not a fan of the paramedic bashing in some of the comments. It’s a definite issue with nurses not being paid correctly. But there are phenomenal paramedics in primary care.
It’s amazing how patients hold onto the exact words that you say years later A patient reminded me of what I’d said to him when his cancer was diagnosed years ago: “We’re on the same side, the same team & we will take this journey together” He said the comfort of knowing his…
Yes Fred, alive. That's what defibrillators do.
People tell me I act like an old lady because I like to read a lot, enjoy a good cardigan, and am in bed by 8pm. I don’t get why they think that’s a bad thing?
First shift out as a Newly Qualified Paramedic. I’ve been doing this job for 6 years, but right now I sit here very nervous! Strange feeling!!! 1800-0600 shift, roll on morning.
A final year PA learning that heart valves ‘allow blood to flow in one direction’. I learnt that in week 5 of my first year in med school. And we’re meant to believe these people are our equivalents? HA.
My head constantly “I cry a lot but I am so productive, it’s an art..” ✨
Am I the only person who wants to see a picture of that beautiful white Household Cavalry horse that was spooked and badly bleeding now cleaned up and cared for? We need to know he/she is OK!
Nigel, we already pay >£9000 a year to study. The £400,000 figure is plucked from thin air, like the majority of your statistics (see Brexit money for NHS) My solution? No loan repayments whilst you work for the NHS. Then after ~10 years cancel the debt. If you leave you pay
More than 15,000 NHS doctors left Britain last year. It can cost up to £400,000 to train them. It’s only fair on the taxpayer that new doctors and nurses should stay here for a given period of time.
Ok let’s talk about desensitisation…👀 I don’t know how many sudden deaths I’ve been to. I can’t tell you how many dead bodies I’ve seen. That’s not a normal thing to say is it? (⚠️ Health warning for the rest of this post. ⚠️) But that’s my job. As a Response Cop and now…
@wesstreeting 1. Can we talk about the fact that there are people in the NHS who are paid - as part of their job - to look at Twitter accounts of doctors and nurses? 2. Anyone wearing a suit in a hospital should work a "helper" shift in A&E every month, helping wherever needed.
