And now, analysis of NHS statistics has shown that people in poorer areas – who already have fewer doctors per thousand residents anyway – are the ones bearing the much greater brunt of the replacement of what ‘doctors’ they do have by non-doctor ‘associates’. James Steen, head of the British Medical Association (BMA) in London, has published charts showing the statistics for access to ‘clinical’ staff by wealth and the percentage of ‘associates’ – and finds that the poor have less access and among those they can access, the percentage of associates without medical training is far higher

These graphs are actually from here, and the analysis was done by Madeline Sherratt and Jaimie Kaffash. Very shoddy on Skwawkbox's part given how easily I has able to find them.

As a metalhead, the idea that every post has a little Satanism appeals to me greatly.

He stirs a lot of shit on his Mastodon account and gets into spats with other fedi devs. Just the other day he got into a one-sided spat with the GtS dev because the GtS dev implemented a feature to randomise the number of active users, which led to goblin.technology topping pixelfed.social in the FediDB charts. He then accused them of doing this to undermine him specifically, of wanting to 'de-legitimize Pixelfeds growth', despite it being explicitly a privacy feature.

At least 4 at any time and apparently the collective noun for flamingos is 'flamboyance'.

Yeah, it's why I keep a pack of pink wafers on my ~~person~~ bird at all times.

I know, I'd feel so at home, but alas.

Baps, though I've heard those six-fingered savages across the river call them cobs

I'm a fairly clumsy person, so I basically already stub my toe everyday.

They can certainly do nothing.

Albatross sized emperor, it would be madness to pick a fight with a large bird. Those things are vicious.

The Hungary Uprising happened 3 years after he died? Also, tankies aren't liberals (they're pretty illiberal in fact)?
