The UK measles outbreak has now been declared a national incident 🚩 This awful disease can cause blindness, brain damage & death and it’s fully preventable!! Measles used to be eradicated in the UK! The vaccines work & they’re SAFE It’s not too late to get yours, ANY AGE

Brexit strikes again

Me watching doctors confuse ACP/ANP with PAs, be pretty offensive about ACP/ANPs, and nasty to other doctors who stand up for them
