@mtcsawyer ?? Have you any top tips?

[robjmac @robjmac4]

Had some recent fracture manipulations with ketamine had increased difficulty for those manipulating due to increase muscle tone. Has anyone else encountered this a lot in their procedural sedation? And if so any strategies to manage it?

@gaswomancometh So true

[robjmac @robjmac4]

@gaswomancometh @TheOtherDrJD I guess it’s that same principle of people who get ocular muscles trapped in trauma get a profound vagal response

Nobody has done more to undermine British values than Nigel Farage.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

"My name is Nathaniel Dye, and I'm dying of cancer"

"At first I was told I'd have a rough year with treatment and surgery and then be free to live my life. When scans eventually happened further spread was discovered and my prognosis worsened"

"It's all but certain that I'll be dead within three to four years"

"I try not to think about what might have been if the tests, scans and appointments happened more quickly"

"But I know I know waited over 100 days for treatment when the government's target is 62.. And there's a good chance that time spent on waiting lists has cut my life in half - I've just passed by 2000th week and most people will live beyond 4000"

"There's a lot being said about sick notes"

"If my cancer had been caught early, I would be looking at another 30 years of economic productivity, instead, I'm staring down the barrel or early retirement and early death"

"My hope is for everyone else, so that people can avoid ending up like me"

"I hope to see a Labour government elected that will cut waiting times by providing more scans and appointments more quickly"

"I trust Keir Starmer to effect the positive change that is desperately needed"

Ultrasound guided vascular access course in Wessex!

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully.

Pls RT if you agree.

If you see this guy on TV later trying to justify why NHS staff don’t deserve a decent pay rise, I want you to remind yourself that he owns 9 separate homes.

@DrJoDaniels Happy to help

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

UK astonishingly far behind on CT and MRI scanners - I get that tech isn’t everything - but can we really justify being this much of an outlier? ⁦@RestIsPolitics⁩

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 | NEW: Rishi Sunak is likely to OVERRULE the independent pay review bodies as he believes their recommended rises for teachers and junior doctors are too high

- 6.5% for teachers for 2023-24
- above 6% for junior doctors, police etc

This is a scandal!

Lazy reporting/Government propaganda from the BBC again.

This poor woman has been waiting three & a half years for an operation. A four-day junior doctors’ strike is not to blame.

Where are the investigative journalists at the BBC?
