One of my many hobby horses is that the problem with WhatsApp in the workplace is that it replaces both written and informal chatting in ways that are often deeply inferior to both.

Listen to RJ, for he has wisdom for you.

Someone asked me how I can continue to write fiction where people find a way to be better when the world now shows it's not the case. And fella, nothing the fash want you to do more than give up on hope but you really must not. If it's getting too dark to see you don't turn out the lights.

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

This is one thing that Epic the Musical captured quite nicely

Even if this were true. There are just over 27 000 000 A&E visits per year in England alone. A 0.07% drop. If the government actually wants to materially effect A&E performance then give us a social care bill.

A lot of white people learned about the Tuskegee experiment during the pandemic and believe that is the reason Black people don't trust the medical establishment. This is not true. Black people don't trust the medical establishment because the Tuskegee experiment is not an outlier.

Strikes announced. We had hoped a change of leadership at the Department of Health & Social Care would be a chance to reset talks. Instead, there’s been no new fair offer on pay and no concrete commitment on jobs. That’s why resident doctors are taking action. See you on the picket line.

It’s been 16 seasons already?

I'm concerned people think I'm joking about this.

Also always striking that you celebrate LVOT VTI going from 6 to 14 and everything else looking better, while EF went from 10 to 11.

I’m an EF fan, but I think it’s misused and misunderstood. Great measure of ventricularterial coupling. Always report the components (EDV and SV).

I remember the practice of trying to admit pts before laparotomy to HDU/ ITU for 'optimization'. No, they can put the lines in and give some CSL in the anaesthetic room...

Who remembers the (probably unnecessary) practice of admitting pts the day before cardiac surgery to HDU/ ITU for 'optimization' with a Levosimendan infusion?

Can we please stop talking about Levosimendan as being a magic calcium sensitiser? It’s been known to be mainly a PDE3 inhibitor for years pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #medsky

An outbreak of a deadly hantavirus aboard a cruise ship has heightened fears about another global pandemic—which experts say the world isn’t ready for.
