@1goodtern Infection control has become taboo, I get a raised eyebrow when I wipe down my stethoscope after each patient examination, by a doctor who does urine dipstick without gloves…

@covidbagofdicks Anybody who cites the Cochrane report on masking is just immediately flagging they lack the scientific aptitude to have a reasonable discussion about masking.

@SalvMattera In Interstellar, they live in a post truth society where the official line is the Apollo program was faked so attention would be solely on trying to survive on earth. I used to think that was absurd but that’s literally what’s happening now.

@PrognosticChats I remember summer 2020, as the first wave started to die down and we thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, there was talk of introducing masking in hospitals in winter anyway to mitigate burden of flu. How far we have fallen...

@UKHSA We are FIVE YEARS into this pandemic and you people haven’t learned a thing. This advice is unscientific and morally unsound. You bring shame on yourselves and the population you serve. How is it as a student I seem to know more than the agency specifically tasked to this field?

@queenofswords6 @drsorchahume @medicalmodelbri @Dr_Done_ @MCubbonNHS @MFTnhs @iDrSunny It was something I saw on med twitter a while ago, not my med school either so I wouldn't even know who to raise it with.

@queenofswords6 @drsorchahume @medicalmodelbri @Dr_Done_ @MCubbonNHS @MFTnhs @iDrSunny It was interesting that, in that case, there wasn't 2-way information sharing. I had a disheartening conversation with a student nurse recently who was berating the doctors she worked with. A few questions later, and it was clear she did not understand what doctors actually do.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@queenofswords6 @drsorchahume @medicalmodelbri @Dr_Done_ @MCubbonNHS @MFTnhs @iDrSunny A few years ago if I recall, a medical school ran sessions where med students would sit down with nursing, physio, etc students to "educate them about what these roles do". Seemed like subjecting them to an unsupervised kangaroo court experience, the bullying starts young.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@drsorchahume @Dr_Done_ @MCubbonNHS @MFTnhs Some of the most prolific bullies in the NHS are nurses and I don't think we address this openly enough.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@PrognosticChats I’ve heard this excuse a couple of times too. Not exactly sure what rules these are because not once in my medical school, or 4 NHS trusts I’ve been in has there been a rule like that…

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@useless_priest At this point it goes from a clinician being poorly educated to clinical negligence. To be in year five and not even have the most basic understanding of a virus which has killed 7 million is inexcusable.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@1goodtern The film contagion-except the scientists and clinicians with any sense don’t work for the cdc, a lot more cover ups and psyops, and there’s not a happy ending. (Not that there technically is a happy ending in contagion).

@ishsulin I once spent an entire ward round and not once was my existence acknowledged by anyone above the F2. I’m not expecting VIP treatment but at least for literally any acknowledgement I’m there.

@DrEricDing @royermattw Curious as to what this means for cBrn warfare for the US.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@fastnewsnet An enemy of the state, an enemy to science and progressing the human condition.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@karamballes At this point it’s not shite journalism it’s just plain disinformation. The beauty of science is it’s the only truth, and if you try and decieve with it, you will almost always be caught out. The logical fallacies here are unbelievable.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@VioletBadger @PrognosticChats Exactly, I think they tried pet dogs and paracetamol before lockdowns as reasons. An absolute embarrassment. The worst part-the children affected did not get the care they should have, and would have got otherwise, which would have secured a better health outcome.

[Connor Morton @ConnorM44774759]

@VioletBadger @PrognosticChats You're not wrong but look at what was done with fulminant hepatitis in children the other year.
