🧵Please stop doing this. You're ruining someone's day!

The next time someone pays you a compliment, just say 'Thank You'.

Let me tell you why… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🧵Yesterday I told you all that the one thing you should be doing every day is paying someone a compliment.

It was so lovely hearing the feedback from those of you who did, and how it made you smile.

But what if YOU were the person getting the compliment?
🧵What did you say?

'Oh this old thing? I've never really liked it.'
‘Do you think so? It's only from Primark '
‘Don't say that. It's not perfect yet'

How do you think it made them feel?
I know how it makes me feel. Any joy I felt in giving you a compliment has disappeared
🧵Why are we trained not to say 'Thank You'?

To feel like we have to add something that shows we don't deserve the complement?

It's nonsense and its stopping today.
🧵My challenge to you is -

The next time someone pays you a compliment, smile and say 'Thank You'

I can't wait to hear how it made you feel!

I’m fed up of the media blaming GPs for the spike in late-stage #breastcancer. From my experience GPs refer anyone with a breast symptom to a clinic, no matter the age. They know, as I do, that the only way to exclude a cancer is to be examined and have …
… either an USS, mammogram or both. And even then, a cancer might be missed. Cancers can be sneaky. One month they might be too small to be felt or seen on a scan. Then 4 weeks later, there they are. I should know. I’m a breast surgeon. I have ‘expert hands’. I just thought…
… I had a cyst. Turned out it was a 6cm cancer sitting on top of a 13cm cancer. Yes you will hear about the rare cases when a GP didn’t send a young girl up. But remember - #breastcancer is RARE in women under the age of 40. Less than 4% of all cases. Most young women have …

SEX. That got your attention.
Sadly @OncologyForum have had to cancel today's session due to website issues.
But Sex after cancer is so important so I'm going to share the key points from my talk
Whose job is it to talk about sex?
EVERY HCP looking after cancer patients
If you're not happy giving advice, signpost patients to get the right advice
High quality care is not just about safely doing the right thing to the right person at the right time. It's about the patient experience, both in and out of the hospital. Sex is one of the basic human needs, along with warmth, shelter and food (potatoes)
