@doctorcaldwell@DrRJWebb@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials Are you going to post again now you have acquired some knowledge to correct your original post? That would be the honourable thing to do!
@catiwat@DrRJWebb@drokane Were these grand rounds where all consultants attend ? Never known a nicu where consultants were not about all the time -hovering, looking at their patients, nosing in general and talking to families. This is not adult icu, paediatricians make intense bonds with families
@doctorcaldwell@drokane@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials I think you should not talk about things with conviction when you haven’t got a f..ing clue. You have left your many followers with a false impression. Are you going to do a follow up saying you were ignorant. Of course you are not, no wonder the public are confused.
@RostronTony@doctorcaldwell@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials These are in the main consultants in their 50’s and 60’s and the ICM CCT didn’t exist when they qualified. I was the first registered PICM trainee in 1997/8 and by the time I had qualified in 1999 they didn’t have a PICM CCT. Remember this is not central hospital neonates
@doctorcaldwell@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials But the annotation did not exist on the gmc in 1982. I trained in paeds from 1991 and I was still doing adult part 1 for MRCP. The college of paeds and child health didn’t even exist.
@doctorcaldwell@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials just checked my own registration-I too am only registered as paediatrics yet been a PICU consultant since 2000. Why- because PICU was not a separate specialty till later.I was in fact the first registered PCIM trainee in the UK. Are you going to slag me off too? Now retired
@doctorcaldwell@DW8674@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials Why don’t you stick to commenting on something that you actually have any up to date knowledge on? I find it far more informative that ignorant speculation
@doctorcaldwell@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials You are ignorant …I am a paediatric intensivist but not an anaesthetist. Remember a lot of these consultants trained before neonates or PICU was even classed as a separate specialty with the GMC.
@doctorcaldwell@gmcuk@LucyLetbyTrials You clearly don’t know anything about paediatric training. All paeds trainees have extensive neonatal training. Want to further specialise then you can do specific grid training in neonatologist. To say they dont have specific knowledge in setting up ventilation is nonsense
@AxlesNice@LBC Black men 2 x as likely to get prostate cancer vs white men. Black men are much more likely to get the aggressive form and present at stage 3/4. Their death rate is double that of white men.
@DrSdeG@YvetteCooperMP@andyburnham This has recently happened to a friend of mine. A care pathway filled with ANP’s and clinical nurse specialists. Absolutely disgusting. He was given the incorrect diagnosis too and still no doctor. The oncologist literally had to be embarrassed into seeing him.
@doctor_oxford I think you are trying to make people think palliative care is the holy grail - which it isn’t. People deserve choice. To muddy the water and say social care and palliative care must be ‘sorted’ before the issue of assisted dying is dealt with is abhorrent and robs us of agency
@goldstone_tony No doubt some of this surplus will be single and divorced individuals who die early and all their pot goes back to the treasury with nothing going into their estate…win win for HMT.
