Mermaids Suffer in Secret Behind the Scenes of Aquariums

Professional mermaids in China and South Korea are facing grueling conditions, including performing for hours a day in hazardous environments without medical care, and being subjected to diving up to 70 times a day despite injuries. Maria, a Russian sprint swimmer, was recruited by an aquarium in South Korea with promises of a structured schedule and a salary, but found her contract meant she was treated like a machine, performing five shows a day with no rest, and was forbidden from seeking medical treatment for injuries.

MPs Demand Action Over Physician Associate Safety Concerns

The UK government is facing pressure over the use of Physician Associates (PAs) in the NHS. The Epilepsy Action, Epilepsy Society, and SUDEP Action have called for Mr Streeting to address medicine shortages, while a joint letter signed by 45 MPs urged him to appreciate the urgency. There are concerns over PAs working beyond their scope, with evidence of them diagnosing patients in A&E, ordering X-rays, performing anaesthesia, and prescribing medication. The British Medical Association has raised safety concerns, citing cases such as Emily Chesterton's death from a pulmonary embolism after being misdiagnosed by a PA, and Susan Pollitt's fatal infection caused by an unnecessary procedure performed by a PA. A review of the PA role is underway, led by Professor Gillian Leng, but Mr Streeting has refused to commit to regulations, instead focusing on the benefits of PAs in freeing up doctors' time.
