Here are the official figures for the most ‘viewed’ blogposts yesterday (15 June 2014).
It meant a lot to me having so much positive feedback from people in the #Twitter community on my blogpost which was the first time I’d blogged on my experiences of being a sick doctor in such a public forum.
I reproduce a sample of these tweets here.
It was a really big deal for me to write this, but I wrote it entirely spontaneously this morning. I’ve been churning around these issues every day of my life since waking up from my coma in 2007, and of course on #FathersDay it is impossible to ignore how awful it must have been for my late father.
