@oncopharmacist @ShivaniM_KC Sorry but you're an air breather. An oxygen breather is a subspecialist practitioner.

I was set upon by a group of immigrants in Dublin yesterday. They gave me a triple heart bypass and saved my life 🫀😊

@drjohnm AI doesn't need to be all that smart to destroy the human race. Just look at the intelligence of some World leaders, yet they are easily capable of the same

@martinkstiles @DrMarkMills He also offered Debbie, one of our Physiologists, a ride in his car when he was banned from driving 🤣

@martinkstiles @DrMarkMills Remember the patient well. He was quite a character ! When RV free wall pacing off, a tiny dissociated RV QRS complex was evident. He did well for years, eventually succumbed to RV failure (and thrombus).

@munro_nell @Lego_Yoda @champion_slayer @nohashtagilike @RomyCerratti He's not flying from UK to Chile though. He is on holiday in Peru (presumably paying himself) and going to the Chile conference afterwards (Lima to Santiago is quite cheap). You know zero about the conference itself but are happy to label it a waste of money.

@nportocarero @RomyCerratti I work with pacemakers / arrhythmias. The pacemaker / drug companies cannot pay for me to attend national / international conferences. Some have funding streams that can be applied for, but if awarded it has to be transferred as an unconditional educational or research grant.

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@RomyCerratti Some realism as to what consultant study leave is. Max 10 days, at discretion of employer. Mandatory 50 hours to maintain skills / knowledge. For me, much of it delivering teaching. Went to London once in 2022-3. So no, not 10 days of 'all expenses paid' luxury.

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@Colibri89347577 @RomyCerratti Err drug companies aren't actually allowed to do that, so your corruption argument is on pretty shaky ground.

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@Levi31670942 @RomyCerratti However the rules for educational grants are strict and specific. It isn't always bad or inappropriate to work with industry - so for example in my line of work I get top class training organised by industry (often by companies whose products we seldom use).

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@Levi31670942 @RomyCerratti Endowment funds consist of money donated to departments, usually for specific purposes. For example, research, equipment, or staff development. Educational grants come from commercial partners, e.g. medical device, pharma or equipment suppliers.

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@nportocarero @RomyCerratti That's not the case. It is forbidden to link the educational grant with anyone involved in tendering.

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@andyjbrum69 @RomyCerratti Of course that isn't how it works. That would violate the very clear and tight rules of commercial conduct.

@Antonio_Caramia Are these admissions with COVID-19 illness as a main diagnosis, or patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 on admission ?

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@AndrewRTDavies It is inaccurate of you to persistently refer to 'blanket' 20 mph speed limits. Many people have corrected you now. It makes me wonder what motivates you to persistently say this.

[Neil Grubb @NeilGrubb]

@ShivaniM_KC I have the same problem with "Hi Jack"
