Lamine Yamal faces legal action over dwarfism row at 18th birthday party
A Spanish disability rights group has vowed legal action over the reported hiring of people with dwarfism as entertainment at Barcelona star Lamine Yamal 's recent 18th birthday party, condemning the practice as discriminatory. The young winger, who helped Spain clinch the European Championship last year, celebrated his coming of age on Saturday with a star-studded jamboree that included celebrity guests from the music industry such as Bizarrap, Bad Gyal or Quevedo, as well as many of his Barca teammates and social media influencers. The Association for People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias (ADEE) said in a statement that the use of people with dwarfism as spectacle at Yamal's party perpetuated stereotypes, fuelled discrimination and undermined the dignity and rights of people with disabilities. It cited Spain's disability rights law, which prohibits shows or recreational activities that use people with disabilities in a way that provokes ridicule or undermines their dignity. "It's unacceptable that in the 21st century, people with dwarfism are still used for entertainment at private parties, particularly when public figures are involved," said ADEE President Carolina Puente. "The dignity and rights of our community cannot be a source of amusement under any circumstance." Yamal's representatives did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment, although Spain's Ministry of Social Rights has now asked the country's prosecutor's office to investigate Yamal. Yamal posted on Monday a one-minute video edit with highlights from the party on his Instagram account that featured fellow Barca players Gavi and Robert Lewandowski playing poker and roulette, though it did not appear to show people with achondroplasia, the genetic disorder causing dwarfism. The Spaniard – who won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and Spanish Supercup with Barca this season – wore a white suit with a red rose in his lapel, lavish jewellery and a cane, in keeping with the party's "Italian gangster" theme. Spanish radio station RAC1 broadcast an interview with someone claiming to be one of the entertainers present at the party who defended Lamine Yamal. "No-one disrespected us, we worked in peace," said the artist, who asked to remain anonymous. "I don't understand why there's so much hype. We're normal people, who do what we want, in an absolutely legal way. "We work as entertainers. Why can't we do it? Because of our physical condition? We know what our limit is and we will never exceed it: we are not fairground monkeys." The performer said it lasted one hour, and afterwards the entertainers joined in with the party. 'We dance, we distribute drinks, we do magic... there are many types of shows. Everyone had a great time.'

Hugo Rincón's future up in the air as Jesús Areso holds the key
Hugo Rincón's future up in the air as Jesús Areso holds the key Athletic maintains a firm stance with Hugo Rincón: despite the interest of numerous LaLiga clubs—such as Girona, Alavés, Rayo, Getafe or Mallorca—they do not contemplate his sale, according to AS, after his great year in Miranda del Ebro. The formula that the red-and-white club is considering is a loan to Primera, with several suitors such as Rayo Vallecano or Girona after the full-back. However, it is not ruled out that the player may have an opportunity at Athletic if by any chance the signing of Jesús Areso does not end up materializing. Advertisement If Areso is confirmed, Rincón would go on loan to continue his progression in Primera; otherwise, Valverde would consider keeping him to compete for the position. The next week will be decisive in defining his future. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Doctors Happier Off Duty Than on the Job, Survey Finds
A recent survey of more than 1000 physicians in Spain, conducted on the Medscape Professional Network, including El Medico Interactivo , provides an in-depth look at the well-being and life satisfaction of medical professionals both in and outside the workplace. According to the findings, 60% of the doctors said that they were satisfied or very satisfied with their work life, while 76% reported being happy or very happy outside of work. The data also show that physicians older than 45 years tend to view their professional lives more positively than their younger counterparts. Javier Cotelo, a member of the editorial committee at Medscape Spanish, analysed the results in the report Well-Being and Satisfaction of Spanish Healthcare Professionals Outside Work , which explored doctors' perceived quality of life. 'My impression is that Spanish physicians, in general, are very satisfied with their nonwork life. They organise their free time fairly well, enjoy vacations, their hobbies, and lead a healthy lifestyle.' A high proportion of respondents reported regular exercise, good sleep, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet. However, only 6 in 10 respondents expressed satisfaction with their professional lives. 'We all know the challenges facing our public health system and healthcare,' Cotelo added. 'Burnout among the professionals is very high, and that is concerning.' The survey included equal numbers of men and women. Overall, 96% were specialists, and 23% practiced family medicine. Mental Health About 64% of doctors said their mental health was good or exceptionally good, while 12% rated it as poor or extremely poor. Younger doctors reported more struggles: 17% of those younger than 45 years vs 11% of those aged 45 years or older rated their mental health as poor or extremely poor. Job satisfaction showed a similar pattern: 20% of doctors aged 45 years or older vs 11% of their younger peers reported high satisfaction. Hobbies play a key role in supporting mental health. Reading was the most popular activity (73%), followed by exercise (61%) and watching TV or movies (59%). About 71% spent over 2 hours online daily for entertainment, and 62% said it helped them unwind. Nearly two thirds of doctors said that spending time with family and friends helped support their mental health. Other common strategies included engaging in hobbies (69%), exercising (63%), eating a healthy diet (51%), and getting sufficient sleep (43%). Additionally, 13% reported using prescription medications, 10% attended psychological therapy, and 8% relied on alcohol to manage stress. Professional Burnout Burnout is a significant concern. About 41% of the doctors reported experiencing anxiety, 3% reported depression, and 11% reported suffering from both conditions. Altogether, 58% experienced one or both conditions, and 55% said that these challenges negatively affected their personal relationships. Lack of time was the main reason for physicians' struggles to maintain close friendships, especially among women and those younger than 45 years. However, 39 % of the respondents reported no difficulty. Leisure and Media Habits Vacations are also considered important. While 93% said they were important or particularly important, only 56% felt that they had enough time off to rest and perform well at work. In addition, 40% said that they would accept a pay cut for more free time. Social media was used for various purposes: 45% watched entertainment or educational videos, 36% used it to stay in touch with distant family or friends, and 29% looked for recipes. More than 1 in 4 doctors said that they did not use social media at all.
