Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.
Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?

The whole point of the GMC is to keep patients safe from harm.
But what if, like OFWAT & OFCOM, it’s turning into another politically-neutered, failing regulator?
I cannot stand silently by as the GMC fails patients in the PA debacle.

PulmCrit- Top 10 reasons pulse oximetry beats ABG for assessing oxygenation
What does it mean if PaO2 and oxygen saturation seem to disagree? Do we need to measure an ABG if the oxygen saturation waveform is adequate? What is the best way to measure oxygenation?
