"I never thought this would happen to me… until it did," she said.
"If something doesn't look or feel right, see a doctor. Protect your skin: Use high SPF, cover up, say no to sunbeds."

University puts up ‘bonkers' posters warning its students not to eat conkers
A UNIVERSITY launched a 'bonkers' campaign warning its students not to eat conkers. East Anglia University has put up posters showing a conker in a red circle with a cross through it. Above the image is written, 'Do not eat conkers!' and below, 'These are not chestnuts and eating them will make you unwell'. Bosses put up the posters in the international student study centre fearing a new intake of Chinese students might think they are edible. Around 1,000 of the 17,000 students at the Norwich university hail from China. It is feared some new arrivals could confuse conkers — known as horse chestnuts — with water chestnuts, which are prized in China for their crunchy texture and mild sweetness. Horse chestnuts, however, contain a toxin called aesculin which can cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. A source said: 'The uni looks out for student welfare and thought this was an area they may need guidance on.' The university said: 'As far as we're aware, no students have attempted to eat conkers and we'd like to keep it that way. 'The posters were prompted by a member of staff who previously worked with Chinese students and recalled similar confusion elsewhere. 'It's part of our broader commitment to student wellbeing.'

Long NHS waiting lists bolster profits at BUPA as it cashes in on 'growing demand' for private care
Bupa is on course to make bumper profits this year as it cashes in on 'growing demand' for private care because of lengthy NHS waiting lists. The health insurer reported a pre-tax profit of £501million for the first six months of 2025, 19 per cent higher than last year. The results, which also saw an 11 per cent jump in revenue to £8.8billion for the first half of 2025, included Bupa's operations in Europe, Latin America, India, the Middle East and Asia. The company said its performance had been bolstered by surging demand for private healthcare and income from its care homes. Inaki Ereno, group chief executive, said: 'In the first six months of the year, we have served more customers than ever before.' The half-year report also revealed that the number of people taking out Bupa's health insurance globally rose 23 per cent to 40.9m, while the occupancy rate of its care homes for older people rose 1 per cent to 94 per cent. Its UK and India division recorded turnover of £2.8billion, while profits soared 89 per cent to £126million. UK insurance accounted for 48 per cent of the division's sales, while 9 per cent came from dental practices. The company has opened 61 sites around the world, including buying New Victoria Hospital, London, its first UK hospital purchase since 2008. The growth comes as people turn to private healthcare to avoid joining the 6.2m patients languishing on NHS waiting lists. The figures, revealed last week, also showed that nearly 3m patients awaiting care had not received a first appointment with a specialist or a diagnostic test since their referral. The Patients Association described the 'invisible waiting list crisis' as 'staggering', as millions are left in limbo while their health deteriorates. Other companies which have benefited from the boom in demand from those wanting to go private include Spire, Nuffield and Circle. David Rowland, director of think-tank Centre for Health and the Public Interest, told The Guardian: 'You've now got more and more people who are having to pay out of their own pockets for things like dental care or operations that aren't available on the NHS. 'Nobody's being honest about the extent to which this is happening. No politician has stood up and advocated for it. It's a trend which has been happening increasingly over the past 30 years with Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties in charge.' The General Medical Council recently revealed that 19 per cent of doctors are considering a move abroad – believing the profession is 'treated better' in other countries and better-paid.

A man asked ChatGPT how to remove sodium chloride from his diet. It landed him in the hospital
A 60-year-old man landed in the hospital after asking ChatGPT how to remove sodium chloride from his diet. As humans interact more with artificial intelligence, there continues to be stories of how a conversation with a chatbot could be dangerous, sometimes even deadly. While part of the focus has been on mental health and concerns that chatbots are not equipped to handle these types of struggles, there are also implications for people's physical health. People often hear that you shouldn't Google your symptoms, as medical advice should be given by a health professional, who knows your medical history and can actually examine you. According to a new case report published in the American College of Physicians Journals on Tuesday, you should also be careful when considering asking a chatbot health questions. The report looked at a man who developed bromism after asking ChatGPT for advice on his diet. Bromism, or Bromide toxicity, was well-known in the early 1990s but is less common now. At the time, bromide salts were found in many over-the-counter medications to treat insomnia, hysteria and anxiety. Ingesting too much bromide can cause neuropsychiatric and dermatologic symptoms. The man in this case report had no past psychiatric or medical history, but during the first 24 hours of his hospitalization, he expressed increased paranoia and auditory and visual hallucinations. 'He was noted to be very thirsty but paranoid about water he was offered,' the case report read. The man was treated with fluids and electrolytes and became medically stable, allowing him to be admitted to the hospital's inpatient psychiatry unit. As his condition improved, he was able to share some symptoms he had noticed, including newly appeared facial acne and cherry angiomas, which further suggested he was experiencing bromism. He also said he had been swapping sodium chloride, or table salt, for sodium bromide for three months after reading about the negative health effects of table salt. 'Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet,' the case report read. He had replaced table salt with 'sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.' The Independent has reached out to OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, for comment. The man spent three weeks in the hospital before he was well enough to be discharged. 'It is important to consider that ChatGPT and other AI systems can generate scientific inaccuracies, lack the ability to critically discuss results, and ultimately fuel the spread of misinformation,' the authors of the report warned.
