Flatline | LN4

Pairing: Lando Norris x Reader

Summary: Lando parties a bit too hard and needs to be patched up. Luckily, he can count on a pretty nurse.

Author's Note: I'M BACK MFS🙂‍↕️ it's been a while haha but enjoy this lil lando fic that was inspired by the song Flatline by 5sos!! Also happy new year hehe, hope everyone is doing good and i wish y'all the best for 2025🫶🏻

F1 MASTERLIST🏎

King’s Day 2024. Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Amongst all the drivers, people would’ve thought Max Verstappen the most prone to be sighted in public while celebrating his country on its national day. However, the one that was currently trending on social media was Lando Norris. Pictures as well as videos were being posted, reposted, and commented on every second. No one had expected Lando to spend the weekend away in the Netherlands in between two grand prix. But here he was, partying on a boat and even DJ-ing along with his good friend Martin Garrix.

Lando didn’t know whether people just didn’t care about him – seeing as the Netherlands were the home of one of the greatest drivers of the current generation – or if people actually didn’t know him. In any case, he was glad not to be disturbed by fans – even though he loved them – and be able to enjoy the day the same way everyone else was doing it: by partying, dancing, singing, and drinking.

Obviously, Lando was planning to be careful as he knew that his PR team would have his head if he did something stupid during his two-week break. But still, he was having fun like a typical twenty-four year old. He was having the time of his life. Dutch people definitely knew how to party on their national day, that’s for sure.

…..

A few hours later however, what everyone hadn’t been expecting was for Lando to end the day with bandages all over his face. As the surprise of him being in the Netherlands settled down after a while, pictures and videos stopped circulating around. Until fans all over the world were met with images of Lando with a bloody nose, a smile still on his face. People had no idea what had happened. No context had been given, only the speculation of Lando having drunk and partied too hard that he had hurt himself.

Fortunately for him, Lando had been able to count on you. Being a friend of a friend, you loosely knew Martin but had never really exchanged more than a few words with him. However, he was currently glad that the invitation to his boat party had managed to reach you as you were qualified to take care of Lando’s battle wound – his words. Being a nurse, and the only one with some medical knowledge on the boat, you had quickly reacted when people had started panicking after seeing Lando’s face starting to bleed.

To be honest, people had overreacted a bit. Because when you approached Lando to see the extent of the damage, you realised it was only a cut albeit the consequence of some glass. So although he wasn’t hurt very badly, you still suggested bringing him into the hospital where you worked. Obviously, Lando had refused at first as he pretended that everything was fine. He was. But just to be sure, you needed to give him a general check-up in a clean location as a random boat in Amsterdam wasn’t exactly the most hygienic place to patch someone up.

So after Martin also agreed to the idea, Lando had no choice but to listen to his friend and go with you. The Dutch told Lando that he would come get him later as he needed to bring his DJ equipment back home – he promised to be ready to give him a ride back from the hospital later on as he knew that Lando had a flight the next day. This is thus how you found yourself in a cab with none other than Formula One driver Lando Norris on the way to your workplace. Truth be told, you hadn’t expected to go there today. But you knew it was part of your job to be able to help anyone in need even if you were on your day off.

The ride had mostly been silent. Lando had been on his phone, probably texting a few people about his whereabouts, while you were focused on the next steps to do when you’d be arriving at the hospital. You were pleasantly surprised when Lando paid the driver without a second thought and told him to keep the change.

“I could’ve paid, you know. Thanks,” you told him as you entered the building.

“You’re taking care of me on what definitely seemed like your day off, so that’s the least I can do for you.” Lando smiled at you and even with the bandages around his face, he was still very good-looking.

“Still, I appreciate it. You can go wait in this room if that’s okay?” He nodded and you finished explaining what would happen next. “I just need to inform my manager I’m here, get some stuff for a small check-up, and then I’m all yours. I won’t be long.”

“Sounds perfect”, Lando replied with a grin.

True to your words, you were back in the room where you’d left the Brit less than ten minutes later. He noticed that you’d changed into your uniform – which you’d been lucky to have a spare here as your usual one was at your flat – and enjoyed the view of observing you in your element. Working in the medical field was your calling, and you didn’t see yourself anywhere else.

First, you removed the bandages that you’d wrapped around Lando’s face earlier before you cleaned up the small wound – properly this time, with adequate material. As Lando winced when you disinfected it, you apologised.

“Does it hurt much?” You asked.

“Not really”, he shrugged. “Just uncomfortable I guess.”

“Hmm, okay”, you nodded. “Tell me if there’s anything else at any point.”

Quickly finishing up, you were soon enough putting a band-aid on Lando’s nose. You debated offering to put a silly one originally designed for kids, but decided otherwise as you didn’t want to look weird for suggesting it. However, the driver had noticed your eyes drifting to them when you’d hesitated in which one to take, so he spoke up:

“You think you could actually give me one of those”, he wondered with a smile before adding. “The cute ones, there.”

When you saw that he was pointing at the Disney ones, you stiffled a laugh. You hadn’t expected him to directly ask for one himself, but you were kinda glad that he did. Amongst the different characters present, your choice was easily made.

“I guess that the Cars one caught your eye?” You raised an eyebrow, waiting to see if you were right.

“Bingo!” He laughed. “I’ll admit that Frozen was tempting but I gotta stay true to my roots.”

“Fair enough”, you chuckled. “Your job ain’t really much to do with building ice castles, or I’ve done my research wrong.”

“You looked me up?” Lando asked, the surprise obvious in his tone.

“Well, yeah?” You answered with a ‘duh’ tone as you gently put the Cars band-aid over the plain one you’d previously applied. “Even though the whole country supports Max and not many people care about the other drivers, I gotta know about the competition.”

“You think I’m competition to Max?”

“Of course! Anyone is: as long as Max isn’t the only driver racing on track, he has competition.”

Your explanation made Lando’s grin widen as he was glad to be considered in the same league as the Max Verstappen, especially by someone who lived in the Netherlands. To you, any other driver that had managed to be a part of the twenty that raced in Formula One was a good one – Lando included.

“He does have three more championship titles than me though”, Lando stated. “And God knows how many wins.”

“He’s had a good car for years,” you pointed out. “Your time will come, don’t worry. I can feel the papaya greatness for this year – though if I ever wear orange, it’s for Max.”

Not knowing what to reply to your words, Lando simply nodded while you put away the box of band-aids. You thought about the final steps of your check-up, and turned back to face the driver.

“Okay, so I’ll just put this on your finger to see your heart rate and then I’ll make you do a breathalyser if that’s alright with you?”

“Yeah, no problem. Do your job, don’t worry.”

“Great, thanks.” You carefully clipped the pulse oximeter on Lando’s finger before stepping away. “I'll be right back in a minute.”

“Take your time,” Lando replied. “I’m not going anywhere.”

When you left the room, the Brit let out the biggest sigh of his life. Oh God, he thought. It seemed like you hadn’t realised how close you’d been to Lando as you were only focused on doing your job, but he hadn’t been able to take his eyes away from you. He really hoped you hadn’t noticed anything, as the last thing he wanted was to make you uncomfortable at your workplace. Get a grip, Lando told himself while waiting for you to be back. Don’t fuck this up if you want a chance.

You came back into the room shortly after, a box in your hands – which Lando assumed to be the breathalyser. He knew he had drunk enough that he wouldn’t be allowed to drive, but he hoped he had sobered up enough after his trip to the hospital. After unboxing the breathalyser, you got close to Lando again and explained to him what he’d have to do.

“Nothing too complicated, don't worry. You’ll just have to exhale into this.” You showed him the object. “And I’ll tell you when to stop. Then, you’ll be good to go!”

Lando nodded in reply, even though he hadn’t really paid attention to the actual words you’d said. He had been more focused on your face and the way you’d gently brushed a strand of hair away from your face. He almost wished he’d been the one to do it, and he wondered if it was the remains of alcohol in his blood making him think that. He also wondered if he would still be attracted to you if he had met you while stone cold sober. But when you gave him a soft reassuring smile as you told him to be ready to blow into the breathalyser, he knew he would find you gorgeous no matter his state of mind.

What he didn’t know though, is if it was the alcohol or his attraction to you that was making his heart faster – both, to be honest. The result was the same: the machine was showing his heart rate quickening and Lando could perfectly hear it echoing in his head, which made his eyes widen at the thought that you would hear it too. Lando’s heart rate was actually the least of your worries as you were focused on the current task of measuring the level of alcohol in his blood, but it became the most important barely two seconds later when you heard the continuing beep that usually meant the lack of heartbeat.

“Your heart is going flatline!” You exclaimed in shock as you tried to quickly assess how Lando looked in order to find the cause. “Oh my God… oh my God, what the fuck is happening?!”

And while you were panicking, Lando realised that he had made a grave mistake. See, as he still wasn’t back to his normal state of mind, the driver thought that it was a wonderful idea to just remove the pulse oximeter from his finger so that you wouldn’t have noticed his heart rate speeding. But of course, you had immediately noticed the lack of constant beep from the machine and were currently still stressing – breathalyser completely forgotten.

Seeing your panicked state, Lando was now feeling extremely guilty and decided to come clean.

“I’m fine!” He was almost shouting. Hearing his voice made you stop in your tracks, and you looked at him with worry in your eyes. “Sorry”, he apologised. “I accidentally removed the thing, please calm down. I’m not dead.”

“Oh”, you could only answer. You felt awkward now. “That’s good, then.” You scratched your neck and nervously laughed. “It’s weird, it shouldn’t come off that easily unless it’s forcibly removed. Sorry if I gave you one that wasn’t properly working.”

And this was his last straw. Lando was now feeling even guiltier at your words, as you were going to blame yourself for using seemingly faulty equipment.

“Please don’t be mad, but… I-actually-removed-it-myself”, he said as quickly as he could.

“What?” You questioned with a tilt of your head.

“I removed the heart thingy myself because I didn’t want you to hear my heart rate.”

“Lando, that’s my job?”

“Yeah, but like…” He didn’t know what else to say, except for the truth – thank the alcohol for giving him the confidence to utter the next words. “I was just thinking about you, and you were looking super pretty while explaining stuff, and I wasn’t really paying attention to be honest, but then I felt like my heartbeat was going really fast, and you’d hear it, and you’d think I’m like weird, and–”

“Oh God, Lando calm down!” You put your hands on his shoulders so that he would look at you instead of the floor, and meeting your eyes silenced him. “You’re good, don’t explain yourself. I know that you’re not completely sober yet so your mind might make you do weird things. I’m just glad you’re alright and not suddenly a victim of a heart attack.”

“I don’t want you to see me as a crazy drunk guy right now!” He retorted, trying to clear his name. “Even sober, I’d think the same. Maybe not do the same stupid shit though…” He muttered the last sentence.

Silence now filled the room as you removed your hands from Lando and put them in your pockets before sighing. You tried to assess the situation and process his words. You’d had your fair share of people complimenting you in your workplace so Lando’s feelings weren’t that unusual, but it was still rare to end up in this type of situation. You thought for a minute about what to do while Lando stayed quiet. He was scared of dumb words leaving his mouth, so he didn’t want to take any more risks.

“Tell you what”, you caught his attention. “We finish this up, I clear you free to go, and maybe we can start over when you’re not my patient anymore. Sounds good?”

Still not trusting his words, Lando simply nodded. You then kept going with the last steps of your check-up before announcing to Lando that he was discharged. He had surprisingly sobered up quicker than you would’ve thought – maybe because of the heart rate incident – and his alcohol level wasn’t as high as you’d imagined it to be.

You walked him back to the entrance hall and asked him if Martin was here to get him. He briefly checked his phone and noticed a couple texts from the Dutch that were notifying him of his arrival in a few minutes. You therefore decided to wait with Lando, having all the time in the world – it was still your day off and you knew that the hospital wasn’t understaffed today, so there was no need for you to stay and give a hand.

As you were waiting in an excruciatingly awkward silence, Lando chose to man up and clear the previous situation up.

“I still think you’re beautiful,” he stated. “And I’d love to get to know you,” he added. “I know I’m not fully sober yet, but I’m almost there and my thoughts haven’t changed.”

“That’s good to know”.

“Good as in positive for me to shoot my shot?” Lando wondered with a nervous smile.

“You can try, I think your chances of success are pretty high right now.”

“Great.” His grin widened, and you couldn’t help thinking about how he was currently the beautiful one. “So, can we go out together one day? I know this great restaurant that my wonderful local friends told me about.”

“That’d be my pleasure”, you replied.

“When do you finish work?” He asked, even though he knew the answer.

“I’m actually done…” You feigned to analyse the time on your watch. “Right now. What a coincidence!”

“Coincidence indeed”, Lando agreed. He then took out his phone and gave it to you. “I’ll text you the location?”

“Sure”, you nodded. “Maybe not a full meal tonight, but I’m still down for a drink and snacks.”

“Works for me. Raincheck for a proper date then?”

“Come back for it once you have a race win under your belt”, you challenged.

“Deal”, he accepted. “I have really good motivation.”

“Tell you what, you can also get a wish if it’s the next race that you win.”

“A wish? Anything?” You nodded and Lando thought about ideas. “Kiss on the first date?”

“Alright, you’re on!” You sealed the deal with a handshake, a playful glint in your eyes.

Merely a couple seconds later, Martin was pulling up in front of the hospital which was yours and Lando’s cue to go your separate ways before meeting soon again.

…..

A week later following your semi-date with Lando, you were now watching him celebrate his first win on the top step of the podium in Miami. You couldn’t be prouder of him, and your first thought was to text him as soon as you saw him go back to his garage. You hoped that he’d have access to his phone soon enough and quickly drafted a message to congratulate him. Right before you sent it, your wish – and eventually his in the process – seemed to have been granted.

Flying back to you next weekend before imola

I’m expecting a welcome kiss👀

You chuckled at his texts, a blush appearing on your cheeks as you thought about how he was still serious about you, and deleted your initial message before sending a new one.

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Congratulations race winner! Can’t wait for the next ones, I knew your time was coming🧡

If Lando never imagined that being hurt could lead to him bagging a pretty nurse and getting his first Formula One win, he was now thinking that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to get a small wound before each race if it meant that you would take care of him and that he’d be lifting the winner’s trophy afterwards.

..........

Hope y'all liked this ^^ idk if it's common knowledge on here but I'm a HUGE 5sos fan and when i recently heard flatline after a while, i knew i had to write smth f1 related for this song (esp the chorus)

Likes, reblogs, and comments are always appreciated if you enjoy my writing<3 it means a lot to me and i love knowing what people think - apart from my bestie who's often my #1 fan haha

See you next time, take care🤍

A society that harms its children cannot be said to be civilised. For all that we in the west pride ourselves on our liberal consensus, we have nonetheless enabled the rise of an ideology that has been responsible for the sterilisation and mutilation of children on the basis of a pseudoscientific and cultish faith in ‘gender identity’. Young people who desperately required therapeutic support were instead fast-tracked into medicalisation. Countless lives have been ruined, and all because the so-called ‘adults in the room’ allowed themselves to be cowed by the demands of the high priests of a dangerous new religion.

Donald Trump has now signed an executive order – ‘Protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation’ – which seeks to halt this barbaric state-sanctioned practice. It bans federal agencies from promoting ‘gender-affirming healthcare’ for minors. This is long overdue, and it should be celebrated irrespective of one’s political affiliation. After years of word games and euphemism, the phrasing of this executive order is refreshingly frank.

‘Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end. Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding. Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization. Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called “transition” of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.’

In a section entitled ‘Ending Reliance on Junk Science’ – again, the candour is wonderful to read – the government specifically blames the influence of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). It orders agencies to ‘rescind or amend all policies that rely on WPATH guidance, including WPATH’s “Standards of Care Version 8”’.

For those who don’t know – and this will be many who rely solely on the mainstream media – WPATH is a US-based activist body that has been regarded as the leading global authority on ‘gender medicine’, influencing policy decisions in various countries, including here in the UK via the NHS. Files leaked from WPATH in March 2024 revealed a shocking flouting of basic ethical standards. Internal memos and video recordings of leading WPATH members showed that they were fully aware that many patients were unable to give informed consent to these life-altering procedures, either because they were too young or suffering from psychological disorders.

For instance, when one nurse contacted WPATH to discuss her ethical qualms about allowing a schizophrenic patient to undergo treatment, one of the authors of WPATH’s Standards of Care replied: ‘I’m missing why you are perplexed. The mere presence of psychiatric illness should not block a person’s ability to start hormones if they have persistent gender dysphoria, capacity to consent, and the benefits of starting hormones outweigh the risks. So why the internal struggle as to the “right thing to do?”’ One therapist in California mentioned that he was able to secure treatment for patients who were homeless, suffering from PTSD or depression, and that in one case this had led to an orchiectomy (removal of the testicles). It seemed almost boastful.

The leaked details about children were even more disturbing. Young people who could not possibly comprehend the implications of an existence without fertility or even basic sexual function were allowed to be put on a pathway to lifelong treatment. One leading WPATH ‘expert’ acknowledged in one message:

‘It’s out of their developmental range to understand the extent to which some of these medical interventions are impacting them… They’ll say they understand, but then they’ll say something else that makes you think, oh, they didn’t really understand that they are going to have facial hair, right?’

And then there was the endocrinologist who admitted that ‘we’re often explaining these sorts of things to people who haven’t even had biology in high school yet’.

The leaking of these internal memos and recordings should have been the end of the ‘gender-affirming’ mania. Thanks to the work of journalists Michael Shellenberger and Mia Hughes, with support from Genspect and other campaigners, the ‘WPATH Files’ were widely disseminated. A comprehensive overview was written by Mia Hughes for the Environmental Progress think-tank. The title said it all – The WPATH Files: Pseudoscientific Surgical and Hormonal Experiments on Children, Adolescents, and Vulnerable Adults.

Yet the scandal went largely unreported in the mainstream media. The BBC has, to date, not once mentioned the WPATH Files or their significance in exposing the greatest medical scandal of the century. I was able to produce a special edition of Free Speech Nation on the subject in March 2024, which can be watched in full here.

I had repeatedly contacted the BBC press office to ask why there had been no coverage, an extraordinary omission for the state broadcaster. Even after the release of the Cass Review and its explicit criticism of the influence of WPATH on the NHS, the BBC refused to respond to my enquiries. Finally, in April 2024, a reply was sent, which read: ‘News items are chosen by the news editors of the day based on a number of factors.’ While this did not even begin to answer the question, it did prove that the press office would rather take an evasive approach than face a challenge about the organisation’s ideological bias.

There has never been any justification for medicalising children who are experiencing psychological difficulties around the issue of gender. As Helen Joyce has pointed out in her book Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, research shows around 80 per cent of children eventually become reconciled with their sex, either before or in the early stages of puberty, if they ‘are permitted to express themselves how they wish but not encouraged to believe that they are members of the opposite sex’. In other words, doctors were blocking the cure.

In almost all cases, puberty blockers lead to the prescription of cross-sex hormones, which are sometimes followed by surgical intervention. As psychiatrist Dr Az Hakeem has pointed out, puberty blockers amount to a form of chemical castration. ‘We watch a film about Alan Turing and feel sorry for him and say how can we possibly have done this,’ he says, ‘but we’re doing the same thing to our children’. Following the recommendations of the Cass Review, the UK government has now banned puberty blockers entirely. But the likes of Susie Green – the former head of trans youth charity Mermaids, who took her son to Thailand on his sixteenth birthday to have him castrated – are still seeking loopholes to inflict similar damage on other children.

Such people will not be stopped until the law steps in, which is precisely why the recent measures by Wes Streeting for the Labour government in the UK, and now the executive order by Donald Trump, are so seismic. We should never forget that the WPATH ‘Standards of Care’ include an entire chapter on ‘eunuchs’, and urge medical practitioners to remove the testes of patients if they feel that they have an innate ‘eunuch identity’. That such insanely medieval guidelines were, for a while at least, promoted by the NHS, tells us all we need to know about how far the medical establishment had descended. They may as well have been prescribing bloodletting and exorcisms.

Trump will doubtless be accused of ‘fascism’ and ‘trans genocide’ for signing this executive order. But as the woke orthodoxy continues to evaporate, such histrionic language is already losing its power. This is a decisive blow against the state-approved abuse of children. Gender identity ideology still prevails in many schools and public institutions, so complacency would be a mistake. We are not quite out of the woods yet, but we are certainly beginning to see glimmers of daylight.

I asked Grok how this Executive Order goes about achieving its aims.

https://x.com/i/grok/share/ZcD5TvrcvCRwoK5IEjgILoDX5

The executive order titled "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation" bans what it defines as "chemical and surgical mutilation" through several key measures:

1. Policy Declaration: The order declares it the policy of the United States not to fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the "transition" of a child from one sex to another. It commits to rigorously enforcing laws that prohibit or limit these procedures, which it deems "destructive and life-altering."

2. Defunding Practices:

• Federal Grants: It mandates that heads of executive departments or agencies providing research or education grants to medical institutions must ensure that these institutions cease practices defined as "chemical and surgical mutilation" of children under 19. This includes withholding federal funding from institutions that provide these treatments.

3. Regulatory Actions:

• HHS Review: The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) is tasked with reviewing literature and best practices for promoting the health of children with gender dysphoria or related conditions within 90 days, aiming to increase data quality on these issues.

• Guidance Withdrawal: HHS is directed to withdraw previous guidance documents related to gender-affirming care and issue new guidance protecting whistleblowers who ensure compliance with this order.

4. Legal Actions:

• DOJ Involvement: The Department of Justice is directed to prioritize investigations and prosecutions related to these practices, including under laws against female genital mutilation. It also encourages the DOJ to work with Congress to draft legislation allowing children and their parents to sue medical professionals for damages from these procedures.

5. Healthcare Coverage:

• Insurance Exclusion: The order effectively affects federal health insurance programs like TRICARE, Medicaid, and others by excluding coverage for these procedures for individuals under 19.

• Parental Rights: It aims to protect parents who support the "healthy development" of their children by ordering investigations into practices by states that facilitate stripping custody from parents over disagreements on these medical interventions.

This executive order uses a combination of funding restrictions, regulatory changes, and legal enforcement to ban what it terms "chemical and surgical mutilation," primarily targeting transgender medical care for minors.

==

This isn't bulletproof. As Grok's summary explains, it doesn't ban it across the board, it removes all federal involvement in the mutilation of children. Private insurance, private funding can get around this, but the federal government will no longer facilitate this medical scandal.

Just watch the people who insist it isn't happening get upset that the thing that isn't happening won't be allowed to happen.

The first and oldest lending library in continuous existence in the United States is located in Franklin, Massachusetts. The Franklin Public Library opened in 1790 with the purpose of loaning books, free of charge, to its constituents. Centuries later, this central mission has not changed. In fact, libraries have only expanded the communal resources they provide, with branches across the U.S. now offering free health and wellness courses to visitors.

These health programs vary in content and form, and, as with other library resources, are available to anyone regardless of age, insurance status, or language skills. Classes range from fitness and cooking to conversation sessions about mental and physical health. Some libraries even lend out blood pressure monitors and kits as they would books.

AP recently investigated this growing trend, reporting on the courses found at several library locations across the country. A public library in Smithville, Texas, for instance, provides boxes of surplus food from local farmers and has developed a peer support group for those experiencing isolation. Another library in Milwaukee focuses on arming children and teenagers with information about nutrients and healthy diets, which takes the form of a weekly after-school program run by a local chef.

Mobile health clinics also travel the country’s libraries, inviting visitors to ask questions and learn more about their wellbeing.

“What we do is a Band-Aid on a broken (health care) system,” says Carolyn McCarthy, a nurse practitioner at a mobile health clinic.

Libraries boast a plethora of other free resources as well. Whether it be digital access to magazines or vast catalogs of music, movies, and TV, our library system serves an indispensable role within our democracy by providing free and accessible information.

Despite this, libraries are still vulnerable to budget cuts. New York’s Public Library, to name one, faced up to $58.3 million in cuts this year. The decision was luckily reversed due to intense public protest, and the full funding will be restored in the 2025 fiscal year.

Men have grown twice as much as women over past century, study shows (Ian Sample, The Guardian, Jan 22 2025)

"Analysis of records from dozens of countries found that for every 0.2 point increase in HDI, women were on average 1.7cm taller and 2.7kg heavier, while men were 4cm taller and 6.5kg heavier.

This suggests that as living conditions improve, both height and weight increase, but more than twice as fast in men than women.

To see whether similar trends played out within countries, the researchers delved into historical height records in the UK where HDI rose from 0.8 in 1900 to 0.94 in 2022.

During the first half of the century, average female height increased 1.9% from 159cm to 162cm, while average male height rose 4% from 170cm to 177cm.

“To put this in perspective, about one in four women born in 1905 was taller than the average man born in 1905, but this dropped to about one in eight women for those born in 1958,” Halsey said.

Writing in Biology Letters in a study titled “The sexy and formidable male body: men’s height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits”, the scientists speculate that women’s sexual preferences may have fuelled a trend for taller, more muscular men – although in an age of obesity, heavy does not necessarily mean muscular. (…)

The findings build on previous work that found women want taller men more than men want shorter women.

But there are downsides to being tall. While taller people tend to earn more, they are also more prone to various cancers, possibly because they have more cells that can accumulate mutations which culminate in the disease.

Michael Wilson, professor of ecology, evolution and behaviour at the University of Minnesota, said the faster increase in male height and weight was “striking”.

He said it was consistent with a long-standing idea that females are “the more ecologically constrained” sex because of the demands of reproduction, particularly in mammals where pregnancy and nursing are “energetically expensive”.

“Investment in greater body size by males appears to be sensitive to nutritional conditions,” he said.

“When men grow up with more energy-dense food, they grow bigger bodies, to a greater extent than women."

Cases of norovirus, which is also colourfully referred to as the 'winter vomiting bug'

'Winter vomiting bug' cases at five-year-high, experts say

Cheryl Santa Maria

Thu, January 2, 2025 at 1:56 p.m. CST·2 min read

Cases of norovirus, which is also colourfully referred to as the 'winter vomiting bug' appears to be at a five-year-high according to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

“This has been noted for multiple provinces, including Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia,” a PHAC representative told Global News.

It should be noted, however, that COVID-19 lockdowns significantly reduced the spread and reporting of norovirus incidents, bringing cases down over the past five years, and making 2024's numbers look significantly higher in comparison.

The trend isn't isolated to Canada.

By December 5, which is about a month into the normal outbreak season, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) saw 91 cases of norovirus in seven days. By comparison, in 2020, the CDC reported 2 cases of norovirus during the same period.

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It is sometimes referred to as the "stomach flu," although it is unrelated to influenza. Norovirus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. Norovirus infection typically causes sudden onset of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and sometimes fever, headache, and muscle aches. It's fast-moving, with symptoms usually lasting 1-3 days, but a person can continue to infect others for two weeks after feeling better, sometimes longer.

Why is it called the winter vomiting bug?

Norovirus earned its nickname because it tends to spread more easily during the colder months.

It is highly contagious and transmits easily in places where people are in close contact, which is more common in winter because people spend more time inside. Schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and other public places tend to be hotspots.

It can circulate year-round, but usually spikes in winter months.

The virus can live on surfaces for up to two weeks and infect others. Norovirus is cold-tolerant, and hand sanitizers don't seem to offer much protection.

How norovirus spreads

Norovirus mainly spreads through direct contact with someone who is ill, by consuming food or drinks contaminated with the virus, or by touching contaminated objects and then putting unwashed fingers in your mouth.

Norovirus prevention tips

To prevent catching or spreading norovirus, the CDC recommends:

Frequent hand washing.

Staying home if you are sick.

Handling food safely. Make sure shellfish is thoroughly cooked and fruits and vegetables, and thoroughly washed.

Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with a bleach solution that is effective against norovirus. Standard cleaners and disinfectants may not work.

Immediately laundering linens and clothes that may be contaminated. Dry laundry in a high-heat setting.

If you catch norovirus, experts say you can manage symptoms by staying hydrated, resting, avoiding others, and, when ready, eating bland foods as your stomach heals.

Recruitment Middle East: Top Hiring Trends in 2025

The Middle Eastern job market is witnessing dramatic changes based on changing economic policies, technological advancements, and changing workforce attitudes. While businesses adjust to the changes, knowledge of important 2025 hiring trends is imperative for both job seekers and employers. This article discusses the recent trends in recruitment in the region, with the involvement of recruitment consultants Middle East and the increasing role of Top Recruitment Agency in the Middle East in determining the workforce.

Digitalization and AI-Driven Recruitment

Technology is taking a central role in making the recruitment process more efficient. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation are streamlining the hiring process by filtering out candidates, scanning resumes, and carrying out initial interviews. AI-based platforms are also assisting businesses in forecasting hiring requirements and matching candidates with job positions more precisely. Recruitment consultants in the Middle East are using these technologies to improve the hiring experience for employers and candidates.

Remote and Hybrid Work Model Growth

The call for flexible work arrangements keeps growing in the Middle East. Numerous businesses are embracing remote and hybrid working patterns to draw the best talent, especially in sectors like IT, finance, and digital marketing. Organizations are seeking more applicants who can perform better in remote working while being productive and collaborative. Recruitment agencies are emphasizing hiring talent that excels in flexible work environments to enable organizations to form dynamic and responsive teams.

Enhanced Emphasis on Nationalization Projects

Governments throughout the Middle East are enacting nationalization policies to increase local hiring. Saudi Arabia (Saudization), the UAE (Emiratization), and Oman (Omanization) have enacted laws mandating companies to employ a certain percentage of local professionals. This has created a high demand for qualified local professionals, and recruitment agencies have become essential in sourcing and placing qualified national candidates in senior roles.

Demand for Highly Skilled Professionals in Main Industries

There are various sectors that are experiencing high hiring levels, with a concentration of highly skilled professionals. Some of the leading industries spearheading employment in 2025 are:

Healthcare: The increasing need for medical practitioners, such as doctors, nurses, and healthcare managers, is dictating recruitment trends in the area.

Employees today look up to companies with a good working culture, professional growth opportunities, and a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion. Recruitment Middle East consultants are instructing companies to develop their employer branding strategies in such a manner that they will attract skilled workers seeking long-term career opportunities.

Focusing on Soft Skills and Cultural Fit

Though technical competency continues to matter, employees with softer skills like communication, leadership, flexibility, and problem-solving are increasingly in demand by employers. Cultural fit has also taken a front-row seat when hiring because organizations look for people who will share the organization's values and corporate direction. Recruitment firms are looking to put such people at the forefront to ensure smooth incorporation into the organization.

Outsourcing and Temporary Staffing Solutions

Most firms are choosing to outsource and use temporary staffing services to address short-term project requirements and workforce fluctuations. This is most evident in industries like hospitality, logistics, and event management. Middle East top recruitment agency services are assisting organizations in sourcing skilled temporary staff so that they can remain responsive and agile to market needs.

Greater Utilization of Data Analytics in Recruitment

Decision-making based on data is revolutionizing the recruitment world. Organizations are leveraging recruitment analytics to monitor recruitment metrics, monitor employee performance, and enhance workforce planning. Insights based on data enable organizations to optimize their hiring strategies, bringing in and holding onto the top talent in the business.

Sustainability and Green Jobs

The Middle East is taking big leaps towards sustainability, which is driving the creation of green jobs. Firms operating in renewable energy, environmental consulting, and sustainable building are looking for experts who can lead green initiatives. This change is opening up new avenues for job hunters and persuading companies to bring recruitment processes in line with sustainability objectives.

Cross-Border Hiring and Global Talent Mobility

As the job market is being shaped by globalization, Middle Eastern companies are no longer looking within regional limits for talent. Qualified experts from Europe, Asia, and North America are being hired to do specialized work. Recruitment consultants Middle East are making international hiring easier with compliance with visa rules, work permits, and labor laws locally.

Conclusion

The Middle East recruitment environment in 2025 is characterized by digitalization, changing workforce expectations, and industry-specific recruitment trends. Organizations are focusing on AI-based recruitment, flexible work, nationalization initiatives, and sustainability-oriented hiring. Best Recruitment Agency in the Middle East services are essential in bridging organizations with talented professionals, helping them successfully navigate the dynamic job market.

"Empowering Communities Through Public Healthcare Initiatives" The 16th International Healthcare, Hospital Management, Nursing, and Patient Safety Conference will take place from September 9-11, 2025, offering a global stage for healthcare professionals to connect, collaborate, and innovate. This premier event will feature thought-provoking discussions on the latest trends in healthcare, hospital management, nursing practices, and patient safety. Public and community healthcare are the cornerstones of a thriving society, ensuring that all individuals have access to essential health services. These systems work collaboratively to prevent diseases, promote wellness, and address health disparities within communities. By focusing on population health and community engagement, public and community healthcare initiatives play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for all.

Understanding Public and Community Healthcare

Public healthcare refers to organized efforts by governments and organizations to protect and improve the health of populations. This includes policy-making, disease surveillance, health education, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Community healthcare, on the other hand, involves health services provided at the local level, focusing on the specific needs of communities. These services often include preventive care, primary care, and health education tailored to the unique demographics of the area.

The Synergy Between Public and Community Healthcare

The integration of public and community healthcare creates a comprehensive approach to health promotion. Public health initiatives set the framework through policies and programs, while community healthcare providers implement these strategies on the ground. This collaboration ensures that health interventions are both evidence-based and culturally relevant, leading to more effective outcomes.

Benefits of Public and Community Healthcare

Disease Prevention and Control: Proactive measures such as vaccinations, screenings, and health education help prevent the onset and spread of diseases. For instance, community health services offering regular immunization clinics have been instrumental in controlling outbreaks.

Improved Access to Care: Community healthcare centers provide accessible services, especially in underserved areas. By offering primary care and preventive services locally, these centers reduce barriers such as transportation and cost, ensuring that more individuals receive timely care.

Enhanced Health Education: Public health campaigns raise awareness about health issues, empowering individuals to make informed decisions. Educational programs on topics like nutrition, exercise, and mental health promote healthier lifestyles and prevent chronic diseases.

Reduction of Health Disparities: Targeted community health programs address specific needs of marginalized groups, working to eliminate inequities in health outcomes. By focusing on social determinants of health, these programs strive to create a more equitable healthcare landscape.

Economic Benefits: Preventive care reduces the burden of disease, leading to lower healthcare costs and a healthier workforce. Investing in public and community health initiatives can result in significant economic savings by reducing hospital admissions and improving productivity.

Engaging Communities for Better Health Outcomes

Community engagement is vital for the success of health initiatives. When communities are involved in the planning and implementation of health programs, the interventions are more likely to be accepted and sustained. Strategies for effective community engagement include:

Collaborative Planning: Involving community members in decision-making processes ensures that programs are tailored to local needs.

Culturally Sensitive Approaches: Respecting cultural beliefs and practices enhances the relevance and acceptance of health interventions.

Empowerment Through Education: Providing communities with the knowledge and tools to take charge of their health fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility.

The Role of Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare professionals are at the forefront of public and community health efforts. Their roles extend beyond clinical care to include advocacy, education, and leadership in health promotion. By participating in community outreach and public health planning, healthcare workers can directly impact the well-being of the populations they serve.

Join the Conversation: 16th International Healthcare, Hospital Management, Nursing, and Patient Safety Conference

Understanding Salary Grades for Philippine Government Employees: Structure, Reforms, and Career Insights

The salary structure for government employees in the Philippines is a critical component of public sector employment, influencing career choices and workforce sustainability. Drawing from legislative updates, compensation frameworks, and sector-specific trends, this article explores the salary grade system, recent reforms, and strategies for maximizing career growth.

1. Salary Grade System Overview

The Philippine government uses a Standardized Salary Grade (SG) system under the Salary Standardization Law (SSL), which categorizes positions across 33 grades. Key features include:

Entry-Level Positions: SG 1–10 (e.g., administrative aides, clerks) with monthly salaries ranging from ₱13,000 to ₱20,000 (≈220–220–340).

Mid-Level Professionals: SG 11–24 (e.g., engineers, teachers, nurses) earning ₱25,000–₱70,000 (≈425–425–1,190) .

Executive Roles: SG 25–33 (e.g., department directors, agency heads) with salaries exceeding ₱100,000 (≈$1,700) .

Salaries are adjusted periodically through SSL amendments, with the latest tranche (SSL V) implemented in 2023 to address inflation and public sector retention challenges.

2. Recent Policy Reforms

Salary Standardization Law V (2023–2025)

Across-the-Board Increases: Annual 5% salary hikes for all grades until 2025, prioritizing lower-grade employees to reduce income disparity.

Enhanced Benefits: Hazard pay for frontline workers (e.g., healthcare, disaster response) increased by 20%, alongside expanded health insurance coverage 7.

Special Allowances for Critical Roles

Teachers and Medical Staff: Additional ₱10,000–₱15,000/month allowances for public school teachers and rural healthcare workers, funded by the Department of Education and Department of Health .

Tech and Engineering Roles: IT specialists and renewable energy engineers receive ₱5,000–₱8,000/month retention bonuses under the Renewable Energy Act to support infrastructure projects .

3. Public vs. Private Sector Compensation

While government roles offer stability and pension benefits, salary competitiveness varies:

Education Sector: Public school teachers earn 20–30% less than counterparts in private international schools but benefit from job security and loan programs like the SSS Disaster Loan .

Healthcare: Nurses in public hospitals earn ₱35,000–₱50,000/month, compared to ₱60,000–₱80,000 in private tertiary hospitals. However, public roles include housing subsidies and tuition grants for dependents .

4. Career Advancement Strategies

Leverage Training Programs

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Scholarships: Free certifications in project management, data analytics, and public administration to qualify for SG upgrades.

ASEAN Integration Initiatives: Cross-border training programs for roles in trade compliance and customs, aligned with Intertek’s certification standards for streamlined import/export processes .

Target High-Demand Roles

Renewable Energy Sector: Roles in solar project management (linked to the RE Philippines 2025 exhibition) and grid modernization offer rapid promotion pathways due to government prioritization .

Customs and Trade Compliance: Expertise in Bureau of Customs (BOC) regulations and Intertek’s conformity assessments can secure SG 18–24 positions with ₱50,000–₱80,000/month salaries .

5. Future Outlook and Challenges

Automation Risks: Lower-grade clerical roles may face redundancy due to AI-driven administrative systems, necessitating upskilling.

Gender Pay Equity: Despite the Philippines ranking high in gender equality, women in mid-level government roles earn 7–10% less than men, per 2023 PSA data .

Conclusion

The Philippine government’s salary grade system balances equity and performance incentives, but ongoing reforms are essential to retain talent in critical sectors. By aligning skills with high-demand fields like renewable energy and trade compliance, employees can navigate the SSL framework effectively. For detailed salary tables or application guidelines, visit the Civil Service Commission (CSC) portal or reference the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) updates.Stay informed, invest in certifications, and leverage policy-driven opportunities to maximize your public sector career potential.

Building a Thriving Care Business Community in 2025: Why It Matters Now More Than Ever!

The landscape of care businesses is evolving rapidly, and if you’re not keeping up, you risk being left behind. Whether you operate a home care agency, nursing service, or healthcare consultancy, one thing is certain—community is crucial in 2025.

But here’s the key question: Are you proactively fostering connections, or are you simply waiting for clients to find you?

Why Building a Community is Essential Many care business owners concentrate on their website, advertisements, and referrals. However, the reality is that people tend to distrust businesses they don’t have a personal connection with. If potential clients only encounter a website, how can they be sure you truly care?

👉 People prefer caregivers they feel a bond with. 👉 Trust is cultivated through interaction, not just services. 👉 Strong community ties lead to valuable word-of-mouth referrals.

If you’re not actively engaging, educating, and connecting, someone else will be.

How to Start Building a Care Business Community Today

You don’t need a huge budget or a marketing team. What you need is a solid strategy and a genuine desire to connect.

Host Events & Support Local Needs Organize workshops focused on health awareness, caregiver support groups, or offer free consultations. Identify the urgent needs of your local community—do they require dementia care resources? Home assistance? Mental health support? Engage with people face-to-face—don’t rely solely on digital marketing.

Leverage Social Media & YouTube Share insightful content about caregiving tips, patient rights, and health trends. Go live on Facebook or YouTube to address real questions from your audience. Utilize AI tools to make content creation easier and enhance your connections.

Collaborate with Local Influencers & Organizations Team up with social workers, local health boards, and nonprofits to build your credibility. Cultivate relationships with doctors, therapists, and legal advisors—they can refer clients to you. Offer value first before expecting anything in return. Provide free resources or guidance.

Show That You Care—Genuinely! Participate actively in community discussions, both online and offline. Provide free initial services or consultations to build trust more effectively than any advertisement. Treat your clients like family—because care is more than just a business transaction.

2025 is About Connection, Not Just Services If you wait for clients to come to you, you’ll likely lose them to someone who is actively fostering relationships. Care is not just about delivering services—it’s about being present, accessible, and valuable to your community.

So, the question is: Are you ready to step up and become a trusted name in your care industry?

👉 Start small, but take action today. 👉 Engage consistently with your community. 👉 Use AI and digital platforms wisely.

The care business landscape in 2025 will be led by those who prioritize connection over sales. Will you be among them?
