I love how this little quote from an amazing, but truly underrated author of satire gets such a huge amount of love, even from people that never heard of Terry Pratchett.

Treatment shouldn’t be started if it won’t change the outcome for the patient; primum non nocere. CPR is traumatic, undignified and, yes, miraculous in certain cases, but only where appropriate support is then available. This isn’t the thing to get angry about; the lack of ICU capacity is. (3/3)

Even if we successfully ‘bring you back’, we have to treat the underlying condition and give you post-ROSC care on an ICU. Which we couldn’t, because the ICUs were overwhelmed with COVID and (to a greater or lesser extent) unable to admit more patients. 🛌 (2/3)
