A nine-hospital survey finds ICU staff are motivated to act sustainably: median intrinsic time is 5 minutes/day and 59.6% would give ≥5 minutes; awareness, training and intensivist role boost engagement, and recognition can raise effort. zurl.co/qLWKw

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.

Few things to chew about modes of care first- I expect they are common across most rare diseases.
1) patient travel hundreds of km for hours, usual in their own car to get to appointments. 45% leave feeling the consultation does not reflect how they feel
