Emergency Medicine. Principled pragmatist. Prefers talking to tubes. Fat cyclist. Cricket tragic. Anon=no engagement. My views only.
"Lesser injuries" aren't the reason for ambulance ramping & 400 waiting for beds.
The days of the Christmas bed clearout have gone. There are no beds. Flu has hit everyone hard. Exit block is endemic. And patients *will die* as a result.

Almost 400 people waiting to access hospital beds in NI
Most of the extra beds which are used in an emergency are already occupied, BBC understands.

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social Saw Wicked this morning. Goodness it's long. Dozed off for a bit. Defying Gravity very uplifting at the end. Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande very good. How is it only halfway through? I haven't seen the stage version but is this not a bit self-indulgent / ill-disciplined?

Emergency Medicine teams, and many of my friends in what is now known as Acute Medicine, are good at this sort of “palliative care in a hurry in a less than ideal environment”.
GPs could do so much more if given the resources too.
And you’re right about the mishandling of the LCP.

Was lucky enough to see Phil Hughes play in 2009.
I remember his injury like it was yesterday.

I’m very concerned about mitigations being planned for another hellish NHS EM winter.
For us cricket tragics, it’s “setting a field for bad bowling”.
Your fast bowler starts spraying it everywhere and instead of asking them to bowl better, you put the fielders where the ball is gonna be smacked…

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.
The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
Exempt from all.

It does feel like a bit of a critical mass has been reached mind you.
Whether the immediacy and news content can match the old style bird or not remains to be seen.
But worth a shot.

Right so I'm not ready to leave *the other place yet* and I have no idea what I'm doing here.
Yet here I am, same as always.
Same rules of engagement, or otherwise, and have already blocked one undesirable.
Hopefully the last one!
