Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.

The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.

@drhjefferson @drp297 I've actually seen Dr Teddy's generic in the cupboards at the Royal Berkshire!

Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse.

Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.

@JonJHilton @zackferguson I don't believe you Jon...

@AnaestheticsApp Some GP partnerships still run sabbatical schemes - although the time off has become shorter as partner recruitment has become more challenging

@JonJHilton Have a look at Hyperspace Pirate's mission to make a pulse tube cryocooler! https://t.co/mjKU7g8eop

[George Gladstone @GasDoc_Cometh]

@willtube4food Can heartily recommend a ChameleonMini for exactly this purpose

[George Gladstone @GasDoc_Cometh]

@JonJHilton @tomscott @doismellburning Reportedly you could alter the dialed in anaesthetic remotely on the effected GE machines. I suspect the hypoxia alarm would still trigger (as might the volatile high alarm)

[George Gladstone @GasDoc_Cometh]

@JonJHilton @tomscott Not too mention documented vulnerabilities in some networked anaesthetic machines (!)

[George Gladstone @GasDoc_Cometh]

@JonJHilton @tomscott VP shunts aren't usually the first ones I think of - pacemakers have had known issues for a long time (see Dick Cheney and the national security advice he received). Insulin pumps (or even BG monitors) too

@dannyjnwong @jplomas Sorry for the delay, got a little carried away on the cookie generation function ^_^ For anyone interested:

[George Gladstone @GasDoc_Cometh]

@dannyjnwong @jplomas Can do. It's a bash script, so not sure how useful it'll be to everyone - but may at least save people some legwork when porting their own versions. I'll link tomorrow once I've expanded the documentation a little(!)

The Labour Party has confirmed former north-east MP Bob Hughes has died, just days after his 90th birthday.

He was first elected as MP for Aberdeen North in 1970, and was re-elected six times before stepping down in 1997.

He was made a life peer as Baron Hughes of Woodside.
