Brexit – Dr Rod’s Odd Blog (almondemotion)

London’s burning. Damn those firemen.

No one in healthcare works harder than GPs.

A Grand Unified Theory of Nowt

I popped into Tesco yesterday; there was no pasta on the shelves (no petrol in the pump either).

Shady Towers, Social Care, Nora and Whitey on the Moon.

The PM announced a rise in NI tax this week. I understand this is to offset some of the damage they have done to the NHS over the past decade. Fantastic. (And yes, Whitey is still on the moon).

Pishers, Michael Rosen, viral illness and the Passover story (timely I know, as it is Easter soon)

Well, talking with my family when I had the distinct need to panic buy and hoard face-masks and rubber gloves the other day, (I didn’t); not only is this deeply rooted in the brains of every one of us, it is (at least I believe) amplified in some groups.

Five-pound flags, whistles and banners

By the end,

The BBC said tens of thousands,

The Independent a million.

Who knows?

It can’t be that hard to estimate.

Hey folks.

Hey folks, Nothing, Really matters NOW Except Coming Together And self-determining. All Else Is Naught. Fight!

Canary in the mine

The Canary Has all but Died. Given up the ghost. Called time on the miners. The children of the miners. This, the next step in the rape of society. Mrs T, 40 years ago Ended our communities and only now have people realised what was lost and are working to re-establish. Today, MrContinue reading “Canary in the mine”

The Robber’s Cave

…made me think of pirates, smugglers and caves (a weird cocktail of Enid Blyton and Pirates of the Caribbean)

Spiral

…all the way from human genome project, face transplants, over-the-counter Viagra, genomics and gene therapy to long-length of stay, delayed discharges and workforce crises.

Inefficiency

Yet, between Monday and Tuesday one abandoned wreck is transformed into a gleaming, state of the art facility; I don’t know, maybe selling bagels.

Value (WMTY)

Others will care less about the smile and focus on the quality of the dressing, the details of the assessment.

Conspiracy

Accept that this is the way it is, that humanity is flawed no matter where you look and realise that we can only hope to arrive at truth or reality if we lower our guard and collaborate

Right, left, Conspiracy

Yes, these are just names, and names, well, you can call anything, anything; the best advertising agencies worked this out years ago.

Why I like urine

When I say negative, I mean urine that has been analysed and found to be normal; just the right level of sugar, protein or salt; not too much or too little. Goldilocks pee.

Left and Right; Time for a tax?

I think I have provided an evolutionary explanation for the existence or right and left; Democrat and Republican, Whig and Tory. (here). I suspect the caveat is that in our modern society these inherited advantages break-down; they can and seemingly do become counter-productive. I’ll take as an example food and fat. We evolved to live in smallContinue reading “Left and Right; Time for a tax?”

India, etc.

The plan had been to explain to people the why, what, where of my trip to India. We are heading-out, a small contingent of NHS from Rotherham on the 17th of May, Mumbai via Abu Dhabi – which is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, not Scooby’s catchphrase. I wrote a couple of monthsContinue reading “India, etc.”
