@NWAmb_HART Was the weather too hazardous?

Here is the montage BBC Sport aired at the end of their Olympics coverage.

For anyone thinking of voting Tory tomorrow

@DonnchadhaD @DrOShabir Plus "abdo pain" tells the HCA/CSW exactly what bloods/order set to use.
More systems that could potentially get some people through ED to an SDEC or somewhere similar would be great, but where I've worked, ED have always been better than specialties at emergency care.

@DonnchadhaD @DrOShabir Have to admit that I was guilty of "paraphrasing" handovers though when working as a triage nurse. As others have mentioned, that note is just for the triage (and where I worked had a maximum number of lines/characters, so couldn't fit in a full, detailed handover).

Very glad this person no longer works in our NHS. Their views should have never been acceptable and definitely weren’t in 2020 when they were still working.

@DrEilidhMaria Yes

@cat_gillard @fesshole “Ultimate in tedium” is a phrase I am definitely stealing.

Procedure for discovering someone has parked across your driveway and blocked you in:

1. Put your hands on your hips and stare at the car
2. Look left and right (with incredulous menace) up the street, then look behind you at your own trapped vehicle
3. Shake your head, mutter “unbelievable” or “who the hell’s parked there?”
4. Hold your arms out with hands upturned, like you’re holding a large invisible fish (🤷‍♂️). Look gobsmacked
5. Go closer to the enemy car (one hand on hip now, the other hand scratching the back of your head) to view it from different angles as if readying yourself to pick it up
6. Consider two drastic approaches: (1) knocking on neighbouring doors, (2) leaving a stern note on the windscreen
7. Go back inside and hope the enemy car goes soon. Furiously monitor the situation from the video doorbell/window
8. Remember to breathe

@thegradmedic May ask for six months of payslips, especially if you have a second income from locum work or anything else not on your main payslip. A good broker that has done similar applications will be invaluable

@Bella02328825 @GirlGiada @shashatheitch22 What EU laws personally affect you?

I asked ChatGPT to write me a poem answering the following:

"Explain the pathophysiology and management of anaphylaxis during anaesthesia."

It didn't disappoint.

@MollyRiceIsNice @fesshole Your knowledge is lacking then

Hey @SteveBarclay, why don’t you speak to @theRCN, make them a decent pay offer and they’ll call off the strike. Your 5% offer was rejected because it’s below inflation and insulting.

[Steve Barclay @SteveBarclay]

The NHS believes @theRCN’s upcoming strike action is illegal – so I am regretfully providing notice of my intent to pursue legal action.

@griswald92 I’m with you on that one (well, the riding lime scooters bit at least anyway).

[Luke W @LukeWinter3]

I didn’t realise how close we were to London.
