@_Suresh2 @rohanpaul_ai if you think a year's lag in pubmed ingest is appreciable to most clinicians, you are somewhat optimistic

@doctorsforjobs @jamesmurray_ldn @ConfedExpo Nothing screams normal doctor like turning up to NHS Confed Expo. Crying.

Lots of misunderstandings here.

First, this isn’t peer reviewed science. This is a press release. The level of evidence is essentially “trust me bro”

Second, sepsis early warning systems have been around for decades. This isn’t new. Most hospitals have systems like this.

Third, and most importantly, the way this intervention reduces the mortality *rate* probably isn’t actually saving any lives. What it’s doing is generating a ton of false positives. These people don’t need antibiotics but get them anyway, leading to side effects and resistance. But if you double the number of people with “suspected sepsis” in the denominator you make the mortality *rate* appear to drop. This is why in an actual published scientific paper we’d look at the number of deaths per year not just a rate. That’s also probably why this is press release and not an actual scientific publication…

@AliJaneMoore This is the pointless target driven healthcare that has destroyed the holistic care people used to get from their continuity family GP.

We need fewer interventions from Westminster, not more. Just hire more GPs. They know how to do their job.

Having read the @gmcuk Outcomes for Graduates of Medical Schools, I suggest all UK Medical Students sit USA exams, USMLE. There's a serious danger UK Medical Qualifications might not be recognised outside UK - so little emphasis on Medical Knowledge & Expertise. @DrLKVaughan

.@TheBMA and @fletchjack need to stop playing it safe. A 4-day strike with huge notice and no weekend impact is not a credible response when the Government continues to openly show no respect to doctors.

If you are serious about FPR, extend the strikes through the weekend now.

@ExplosiveEnema2 A “Resident Doctor” who recently resigned from NHS because he thinks BMA’s FPR demands is “unrealistic” 😉

A false flag social media account which would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetically transparent.

They are rattled. This is all they have.

Strike hard and keep striking!

Listen to this ➡️ Nottingham hospitals created its own serious incident system that was never declared to regulators. This meant that many serious incidents were not formally reported, allowing them to avoid external scrutiny and oversight! @jamesmurray_ldn #publicinquiry #FOH

hi can someone please link me that tweet about how if you can’t recognize LLM writing the internet feels like it’s suddenly flooded with lucid intelligent prose and if you can it feels like the slopocalypse?

[Louella Vaughan @DrLKVaughan]

does lead to problematic behaviours on the part of staff. This IS a rational response. But the system is not 'optimised' to produce this. It's just a byproduct of working when the payer hates you and there is little/no reward for hard work.

Yes, yes, very monastic and privileged of you to find God in the silence, but can you find Him in the horrid deafening cacophony?

the funniest part of replacing receptionists with AI will be realizing nobody actually documented half the things jessica the front desk person just magically handled every day.

england had for centuries extensive price and wage controls, and a hukou-style system, between ~1350 and ~1750

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

More recently, in the first half of the twentieth century, as much as 20% of the urban population of big US cities lived in units—from cheap SROs to luxury hotels—without kitchens. They ate nearly all of their meals at cheap ¢5 lunch counters and cafeterias, including automats.

I am standing for .@BMACymru Welsh Council again. It's a great field this year and all members living/working in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 should vote. If re-elected, I'm committed to continuing our recent successes on pay restoration and GP resource restoration (further to go on both), contracts & /1

[Cefte @Cefte]

Any Secretary of State with a pulse would sign off immediately on a few thousand one-off core training places in exchange for an end to the FPR campaign.

They'd walk back to their office giddy, knowing that they can make exactly the same play again in 2-3 years, and after that.

@BMAResidents and @fletchjack obsession about increasing training jobs without increasing consultant posts at the end is shortsighted, dangerous and shows lack of insight

i think that if some bizarro-theocracy took over and declared that we could keep the internet, but devices with internet can only display text and images of text, it would be an interesting potential path out of our accidental techno-phone enslavement.

[eigenrobot @eigenrobot]

asking people to read ai-generated text is offensive.

this is not because ai text is intrinsically bad. rather, the author has not paid a cost to write the text himself. this cost is a credible signal he finds its communication important.

so: not paying that cost is telling
