Interestingly there have been some studies (I seem to remember one in particular back from 1999) that show nicotine having a positive effect on Ulcerative Colitis. Opposite seems to be true for Crohn’s though.

Although every piece of medical advice I’ve ever heard is to avoid smoking at all, especially tobacco. Dry herb vaping is OK though.

I think what makes me even sadder is that Ian Chambers (one of the directors at the hospital where Letby committed her crimes) left his job shortly after Letby was charged… only now to be interim director of nursing at a Salford NHS trust.

He spent years enabling Letby and covering up her crimes, gaslighting and silencing numerous senior doctors… only to go somewhere else and continue managing at a high level the moment that there was a risk of facing consequences for his failures.

I don’t know what’s more disturbing- the fact that Chambers moved on once he realised the jig was up, or that another trust ACTUALLY HIRED HIM. Disgusting.
