@TrumpGirlLove Is Jesus the name of the digger driver?

@ngusdair TBH there are very few thoughts in that hound's mind.

@ngusdair I thought this "debate" worthy of a brief return.

[Mark W @real_dinner]

@ngusdair @jojo_garden Have you considered that it may be you? 🤔

[Mark W @real_dinner]

@NJL_Blancq That's a patient that we know has a diagnosis. What about all the others who are undiagnosed or don't disclose a diagnosis? That's why I take precautions for all the patients I attend.

@IG_Bennett I have long argued for a station cat and all the benefits and joy it would bring. I really hope this campaign is successful!

@Was_Sgt__S @Brick_Cop @ukhomeoffice It's a fair point. But generally we just don't like the drama. Also, broken legs rarely run away from you.

@NJL_Blancq Whenever I can - but referral is one thing, acceptance is another (services are often already at capacity).

@NatashaMDay Don't mind. Have gone both ways to good effect. IN is a bit less faff to administer though, and tend to go that way I if I'm doing it.

@yuris It was a spiritual experience watching my vision get better after 20 odd years of needing glasses for everything. Within 4 hours of the op I could read the ticker on the news channel. Best decision I've made.

@DrLindaDykes @eoconor209 ED is horrendously overcrowded with >100 patients on trolleys (in March it hit 143 people waiting for beds). My partner waited 55 hrs before being told it would be >48 hrs before a bed would be available. It's unsafe, inhumane and puts people off from getting healthcare.

@DonnchadhaD There is of course a balance to strike, and good BLS / ALS is essential, but we will almost always transport children to ED (per JRCALC), so there is an interest in not delaying that process.

@jenstirrup @DanNeidle I love treasury tags! Vastly superior to paperclips for more than 5 pages. The only problem is achieving hole punch consistency.

@AgencyItoi @ThomasCutter This album absolutely.

@AdamRutherford Played-A-Live (Bongo Song), 138 bpm, but released in 2000.

@HarryTtweets @ThomasJPaddock Crikey. Check with GP re LBBB. The BP isn't dangerously high, and anyway high BP is rarely an emergency. Hospital is not always in someone's best interests (see Tom's thread). Mr Smith can chose and can take risks. Alternatives to ED are availabile.

@NJL_Blancq @DrLindaDykes Very much depends - never say never - but the circumstances would have to be extraordinary.

@TheLeeMcLaren Home of Medicine. It's not aimed at pre-hospital clinicians, but it talks about interesting cases and gives a glimpse of what happens on MAU / SDEC. Also very focused on decision making processes and consideration of bias. https://t.co/LWwjwLzQEu
