Wes Streeting has failed to head off the Resident Doctors strike next week, so we can expect a further demonisation of doctors as greedy & unconcerned about patients.

While the RDs are certainly impatient both for wage restoration & NHS reform, by failing to convince them of his good will (perhaps, some would argue because he has none?) Streeting has lost a major group of allies in any reform of the health service.

It looks awfully like one more Labour own goal...

para los bilingües y poliglotas y glosolálogos que me siguen:

#measles = SARAMPIÓN

#sarampión ≠ VARICELA

#varicela = chicken pox

ahora tengo que repasar las diferencias entre la sarampión y la varicela porque no tengo ni puta idea.

a la verdad que no me acuerdo y no creo que haya habido sarampión en Puerto Rico cuando era niña; aunque siempre ha habido varicela. hasta a mi hijo mayor le dio varicela aquí en #nyc pero no al menor.
