🔥 The sea is exceptionally warm for late July: 17.9°C in Dublin Bay — readings this time of year top out around 17.1°C in the buoy archive (back to 2014) 🌊
SitRep - 24/08/24 - Ukrainian Independence Day
An overview of the daily events in Russias invasion of Ukraine. Today Ukraine celebrated its independence. Lots of allies used this day to reconfirm their support for Ukraine.

Despite the lies of the Letby trial, here is the truth about babies who die of sepsis:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can contribute to unclotted blood accumulation in the peritoneum of preterm neonates through several mechanisms:
1. Trauma from CPR: The physical force applied during CPR, especially chest compressions, can cause trauma to internal organs, including the liver. Preterm neonates have more fragile tissues and organs, making them more susceptible to injury. Liver lacerations or ruptures can result from the compressive forces of CPR, leading to internal bleeding.
2. Immature Coagulation Systems: Preterm neonates have an immature coagulation system, which means they are less capable of forming clots effectively. This can result in prolonged bleeding from any injury sustained during CPR, leading to the accumulation of unclotted blood in the peritoneal cavity.
3. Sepsis-Induced Coagulopathy: If the neonate is also suffering from sepsis, the condition can exacerbate bleeding due to sepsis-induced coagulopathy. Sepsis can disrupt normal blood clotting mechanisms, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), where the blood's ability to clot is severely impaired. This can result in uncontrolled bleeding from any site of injury, including the liver.
4. Increased Vascular Permeability: Sepsis can increase vascular permeability due to the systemic inflammatory response, allowing blood to leak more easily into the peritoneal cavity. This can worsen the bleeding caused by CPR-related trauma.
5. Organ Dysfunction: Sepsis can cause multiple organ dysfunction, including liver dysfunction. A compromised liver is less able to produce clotting factors, further impairing the body's ability to control bleeding.
In truth and contrary to the "expert evidence" given against Letby, CPR can cause physical trauma to the liver in preterm neonates, leading to internal bleeding. The immature coagulation system of preterm neonates, combined with the coagulation abnormalities and increased vascular permeability associated with sepsis, can result in the accumulation of unclotted blood in the peritoneum.

There is a tendency of @HSE and @roinnslainte to task transfer to GP.. no resources . collegues in Healthcare should think before they write .. phrases like gp to do , gp to follow
Is task transfer without resourcing
No more unresourced work
Our patients deserve better
5,122 deaths from measles in Ireland from 1922 to 1988, peaking at 519 deaths in 1926.
Devastatingly 4,134 of those deaths (82%) were of little children aged 0-4 years old.
Since MMR introduced in 1988, just 3 deaths of children from measles in the last 36 years.
MMR works 🙏
The Mater Hospital is requesting that the public do not visit the hospital at this time. Restrictions at the hospital will be in place from today, Friday 24th November, for 72 hours. The only visitors who will be allowed on campus are those who are visiting patients in
Latest crisis is the failure to provide transfer of care to adult services when kids turn 18
All those on ADHD medication, which requires specialist follow up are simply being discharged!
Adult services refusing to accept transfer of care

@LiamQuaide @RadioBrendanRTE he’s scientifically very wrong. Covid is airborne- properly fitted masks & clean air stop transmission. It’s indisputable
3 years of denial of airborne transmission, & failure to use readily available mitigations by HSE/ AMRIC is prolonging the pandemic https://t.co/honIdvGb3q
The two major nuclear powers possess around 13 000 weapons between them.
Doctors should help to dispel the fog of ignorance surrounding the immediate risks to humanity and join organisations campaigning for nuclear de-escalation, urges @JohnLauner

I tweeted this in 2020. Current measles vaccination levels are too low. Worth noting that previously healthy children can die or suffer serious long term consequences from measles. Please vaccinate your children. The vaccine is safe and highly effective in preventing infection.
I totally understand people may not have vaccinated their kids against measles because they’ve never seen measles and it’s often just portrayed as spots and a fever. But it’s a REALLY awful virus and it spreads like heck. If your kids haven’t had the MMR PLEASE consider it now
I wish the politicians would spend the same time, energy, shock and horror on the failure of @roinnslainte to implement any of the recommendations of the Ministerial Panel on nursing homes after so many deaths, as on the @rte/@RyanTubridyShow storm in a teacup @AgeAction
You will not read a better summary of GP.
I would encourage all GPs and hospital Drs to read.
Ireland at a crossroads - do we follow NHS?
