2 h. ago Cold calling patients with bad news can be excruciating. At those times, instinct is all I can rely on | Ranjana Srivastava

Difficult news conveyed compassionately and sensitively doesn’t alter the facts but does change the patient experience“Can I get your professional opinion?” my friend asks. In the 30 years since medical school, we have exchanged many opinions but a constant has been the curveball questions thrown up by patient care. Questions that don’t have a clear answer that nonetheless test us.A new patient from last week has unexpectedly returned a biopsy showing cancer. The man typically defers his appointments, citing an inflexible work schedule. His first visit was delayed by a month and he doesn’t intend to return for the results any time soon. But suddenly, he doesn’t have the luxury of time. To plan treatment, the tumour board will need specialised tests. The tests can hardly be ordered without the patient knowing why.

2 h. ago It’s Elon Musk’s ‘pronatalist’ bonanza – so many families, so little time | Marina Hyde

With the mothers of his kids begging for his attention on social media, he makes much of ‘pronatalism’. Is that just a fancy word for bad parenting?If only Elon Musk could impregnate humans at the same rate he’s giving them the ick. Alas, polls show the efficiency tsar’s US approval rating dwindling towards levels he has enjoyed for quite some time among the UK public. And as a country that lived through the Boris Johnson era, I think we have to warn the Americans that if a government figure can’t or won’t answer the basic question “how many kids do you have?”, then he’s probably going to turn out to be a disappointment. And it might even have been a warning sign. If the WhatsApp group of his exes is bigger than Mumsnet and 10 times as pissed off, then it’s just possible you could be dealing with a guy you’re going to end up feeling betrayed by.Is Musk that guy? Who among us can say, certainly considering the sheer number and ferocity of the lawyers Mister Free Speech employs? I do ...

20 h. ago Never mind the quality, feel the money: central flaw of football’s ‘greatest show on earth’ | Barney Ronay

Title race and relegation over by February? The Premier League is rich, but there’s no jeopardy and no real sense of excellence, at least not on the pitchLadies and gentlemen we have now reached our cruising altitude. The pilot will be putting his feet up and drinking tiny cans of Sprite from here to the middle of May. Sit back, zone out. Stick on a bad film with Seth Rogen in it. You can even watch the football if you like. Just don’t expect much to happen for the next three months.So much for that excitingly bumpy, turbulence-fuelled Premier League season, all perky upstarts, crumbling certainties and unexpected shifts of altitude, which really did seem to be shaping up just a few short weeks go. As of game weekend 26 and Arsenal’s defeat by West Ham, followed by Liverpool strolling through Manchester City, the league has reached a stage of premature entropy. Continue reading...

21 h. ago Ben Stokes to skip the Hundred in order to focus on England’s Ashes tour

England captain to prioritise fitness for Australia seriesMoeen Ali also withdraws and retires from county gameBen Stokes and Moeen Ali have both withdrawn from this year’s Hundred. England’s Test captain has chosen to focus on his fitness and his duties with the red ball, and Moeen has decided to retire from county cricket so he can grasp the opportunities offered by global franchise leagues.The competition has brought only bad luck to Stokes, who in five appearances has scored only 14 runs at an average of 3.50 and sustained one serious hamstring injury, while playing for Northern Superchargers last August. That pulled muscle kept him out of all cricket for two months and, after a recurrence while playing for England in New Zealand late last year, he required surgery from which he is recovering.
