@ZaphodPsi I’ve seen pictures of him in the 1970s at about 14 or 15 with long hair. He told me that he used to go out delivering “women’s lib” leaflets and everyone thought he was a girl.

There is a small notice in today’s Times newspaper.

@BeckyBarrister Ah yes - ultrasound wand quite a rare and expensive (told £7k) piece of kit. Often used by nurses inexperienced at placing ordinary cannulas
@BeckyBarrister Fast recovery Becky! Lack of blood pressure monitors not unusual, but have they given you an ECG? Probably have if you’re straight back on an ‘general’ ward
