Frailty is a significant part of the West Midlands Ambulance Service workload says @Jyothinippani. They spend a lot of time with older patients trying to avoid conveyance to hospital wherever possible. #NHSBNFrailty

Not all ST-Elevations on an EKG = Occlusion Myocardial Infarction...Important to not get blinders on and keep a broad DDx...In some cases anticoagulation and DAPT therapy can be detrimental
