Just pre-covid, looked after a post-op pelvic exenteration, who developed severe vasoplegia. Back to theatres for a re-look, nil bleeding/ischaemic.
Already on NA/VasoP.
Used MB.
Pressor requirement almost fully off over 12hrs.

Had a pt during the pandemic who was in the hydroxychloroquine arm. Which gave him methb. Got given MB to treat this. Which then haemolysed his G6PD deficient red cells. Gone off it ever since.

Steve Jobs had the most treatable form of pancreatic cancer around and he refused conventional treatments which he admitted at the time of his death cost him is life. I'm BEGGING you not to use celebrities who only reveal tiny bits of their medical diagnosis to make a larger point about society

Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.

I find it really odd that there has been no mention of Sue Gray in amongst all the angst around McSweeny.
Fair play to her if she has been keeping her doorstep clean.
There are many out there would be courting a big old “fuck you”

What is Dominic Cummings up to? | The Observer
Ten years on from Brexit, six years after Barnard Castle, the strategist thinks he has a plan to ‘set things on a profoundly different path’. Why does he still believe he has the answers?

On call rotas, not shifts, lively social life around the mess and on site social clubs (for all staff)

One of the government's plans for the NHS is "left shift", taking services from hospitals and placing them in the community. Closer to the residents, more responsive to their needs, cheaper, and faster services.
