A fact from Thelma Bates (physician) appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 August 2023 (

Did you know... that Thelma Bates's colleagues tried to discourage her from establishing the first
palliative care team at a British hospital, saying it would ruin her career?

... that when Thelma Bates established the first
palliative care team at a British hospital, her colleagues tried to dissuade her from "ruining her career"? Source:
The BMJ
Everything else looks alright, but maybe directly mention the "ruining your career" bit in the article? (As opposed to just being "critical"...) Otherwise the article is new and long enough, thoroughly referenced, hook fact is interesting, and no signs of copyvio. QPQ has been done. LEt me know when the article is updated. Thanks

Hi
Kingoflettuce. The article did say 'destroy her career', I've tweaked this so now it mirrors the BMJ wording and says 'ruin her career'. Thanks a lot for the prompt review. --
