This is good news but why not pilot the opposite? Mental health emergency clinic in a mental health setting with access to A & E capability on that site. So still right care in right place and reduce time & money spent looking for beds etc etc. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A little self-promotion: it’s nearly 10 years since Joshua’s Story was published. I wish it had become outdated—but sadly, the cultural issues it exposes are still relevant to healthcare today. If you haven’t read it, please consider. It’s available on Amazon and other retailers.

Relieve pressure on hospitals? I guarantee this will be MFFD, GP to be liability sponge and manage patient urgently as there is no functioning mental health service anywhere for our patients.

These little moments of disbelieve about my lived experience over the last 15 years still pop up unexpectedly from time to time…..

Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience. But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy. There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

Babies dying, life long brain damage and women suffering debilitating and distessing injuries, all of which could be prevented with a cs. Normal birth promotion was (and is) catastrophically stupid and harmful.

STOP PRESS Cost of formula is at historic high, other than falling by 50p/can last year. Parents can't afford it although you can get formula for much less (£6.99) in Aldi and Lidl, within the cost of healthy start vouchers. Now let us handwring. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

When normal birth won't go away, even at Shrewsbury & Telford hospitals. Look up CoC & find the discourse of normal birth. An eg "Continuity of care has been shown to reduce obstetric intervention, which interferes with physiological birth" britishjournalofmidwifery.com/content/clinic…

Roughly 15% of individuals who experience trauma (narrowly defined in the DSM sense) go on to develop PTSD; 85% do not. This point underscores the importance of gene-environment interactions and individual susceptibility in understanding psychopathology. It also challenges

PTSD is paradoxically among most under & over diagnosed of DSM disorders. Often missed in Stoics who meet criteria but dont seek help. Even more often mislabeled in people with everyday stressors/nonspecific symptoms. Should be reserved for severe stressors & classic symptoms.

I'm out of depression these days. Thank goodness. I hate being suicidal, but when I am, I like how it beckons, like a friend, in the shadows. Come, it whispers, where pain melts away into a glorious space beyond. But I still have life here. That's why I choose to take medication.
