Now sure why Sigourney Weaver has taken such a caning in the reviews for the The Tempest in London, she was fine?

Interesting paper.

What interventions *actually* make a difference in improving working lives for resident doctors?

Intrigued by below excerpt: reducing hours does not seem to affect well-being/burnout. This isn’t enough.

Michael Crichton is so much more productive than me, this is the fourth book he has written since his death in 2008

On Christmas Day, I will be snuggled up on the sofa watching TV my pyjamas, but the resident doctors in Acute Medicine will be working hard by day and by night to treat patients and keep them safe.

Hopefully opening a little pressie on Christmas day at work is a tiny token of our appreciation 🎅

Just had a row with Mark about my ‘always turning the heating up too high’, now it’s absolutely roasting but I refused to admit I was in the wrong so I have had to come I into the other room and secretly open a window 🥵

This is an oldie, but can anyone explain why - after he almost slams the piano lid on my fingers - he poses with his lil paw *just so* like that?

Twice tonight local guys in Santa Maria (Cabo Verde) have come up to us and asked where we’re from, when we say the UK they respond ‘hey, Del Boy, lovely jubbley!’ why is this their British cultural touchstone?
