Don’t know who did this, but it is superb.

"'Restraint' or 'Dignity' might be better choices here" is 10/10

The columnists attacking the NHS don’t really have an explanation beyond clichés and lazy tropes about the NHS as a religion. Here are some hypotheses & more in the thread that follows 1/15

[Louella Vaughan @DrLKVaughan]

So this is interesting.

There is NOT ONE hospital physician or generalist surgeon on the @gmcuk Advisory Group, who put together the new standards.

4 doctors. 3 GPs (1 trainee, ?1 retired). 1 ophthalmic surgeon. Out of 12

Not a single person engaged in Acute hospital

@keithgrimes @nysuri @Damian_Roland @DrSdeG @adamsonjon Investigations and Treatments (although these are not comprehensive because are unchanged from prior to ECDS as linked to tariff), acuity, clinical frailty score, NEWS-2 components and total score, and clinical observations are all part of ECDS.

[Ben Bloom @drbenbloom]

@nysuri @Damian_Roland @DrSdeG @keithgrimes @adamsonjon If the diagnosis is truly not in ECDS then there is good news: ECDS-max contains ~50,000 (c.f. ~1200) diagnoses and will be part of ECDS v4

[Ben Bloom @drbenbloom]

@nysuri @Damian_Roland @DrSdeG @keithgrimes @adamsonjon When they attend with the symptom and the tests are recorded and are negative, it's reasonable and true to say that no abnormality was detected.

[Ben Bloom @drbenbloom]

@nysuri @Damian_Roland @DrSdeG @keithgrimes @adamsonjon When a patient attends with a symptom, and after sophisticated assessments and investigations they are then diagnosed with...the same symptom, it's hard to argue that EM has added any value.

@RCEM_VP That's true love
