Here's our full sit down w @GavinNewsom from L.A. Co.'s Emergency Operation Center.
@CAgovernor says he's suing after @realDonaldTrump federalized CA's National Guard without his consent.

@KatherineChin18 @MRCPUK A question worth asking of these cold hearted incompetents. Have you audited back over the last half century? Can you categorically assure us this sort of screw-up-and-over has once never happened before? Or, worse, did you spot it and just sweep it under the carpet last time?
English
Iโve finished crying about this and now Iโm just full of rage.
How can you do this @MRCPUK? I donโt understand. What do you mean your auditing processes found an error? 1.5 years later?!
A refund and a free booking for a resit is not enough. Show us what went wrong ๐ฉ

@boundless @maffygirl @nosecglasses @DrRobbieErskine @beckimarshRA @Tremayne0 @PeterMerjavy @AirwayMxAcademy Every patient has that sedation โsweet spotโ in which they can maintain their own airway without snoring and cardiovascular system without support, but it can be hard to find in some. Indeed, I have spent whole operations seeking but not quite finding the sweet spotโฆ

@maffygirl @nosecglasses @WHarropG @DrRobbieErskine @beckimarshRA @Tremayne0 @PeterMerjavy @AirwayMxAcademy GAWA AKA General Anaesthetic Without Airway. But thatโs a criticโs label. More correct, and my preferred naming would be - GAWAD - General Anaesthetic Without Airway Device. But will it play in POAC preamble?

@nosecglasses @boundless @WHarropG @DrRobbieErskine @beckimarshRA @Tremayne0 @PeterMerjavy @AirwayMxAcademy I would suggest many RA sedations are actually Gedationsโฆ

@WHarropG @maffygirl @DrRobbieErskine @beckimarshRA @nosecglasses @Tremayne0 @PeterMerjavy @AirwayMxAcademy For all patients nervous of orthopaedic carpentry noises or susceptible to feeling exposed and vulnerable GAWA-WRA can finally speak its name ?
English
@maffygirl @DrRobbieErskine @beckimarshRA @nosecglasses @Tremayne0 @PeterMerjavy @AirwayMxAcademy Most patients asking for a GA are asking for unawareness rather than specifically for a GA, and unawareness can readily be provided by GA + judicious sedation. I give precious few GAs these days but most of my patients are blissfully unaware.

@MerlinLarsonMD1 As,of course, does the ED50. Like has nociception been covered by the necessary other therapeutic manoeuvres? Regional nerve blocks as a favoured for instance โฆ..
English
MAC is an ED50 for volatile anesthetics (50% effective dose for movement). Dropping a vertical line from the ED99 ideally should not cross the line that characterizes the lethal dose (LD). But the lethal dose curve depends on who gives the anesthetic.

@WHarropG @doctimcook Grains per gallon back in the day. Plenty soldier proof. Until the fiendish Imperials took away our precious Winchester standards in 1826. Serious point: itโs not the units that sow confusion, itโs the interminable multigenerational transition process
English
@doctimcook We may be able to slip effortlessly between % and mg/ml but, as demonstrated by the Coroner's 2%/0.2% error, not everyone can be expected to. Prefilled bags of ROPI LIA with a clear label giving "maximum ml/kg patient weight" would help - we all understand ml and kg... don't we?

@adharanand And the medical certificate says what? That the bearer has had full cardiological screening work-up to exclude hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital coronary anomalies? - which are pretty much all an actuary would tip his glass to as a cause of sudden death in park runners.
English
No parkruns in France because French law requires every runner to have a medical certificate from a doctor. Just to run/walk 5km. Have to say, that's ridiculous.

We would like to extend our thanks to the College for working with us so constructively.

@AnaesUnited Totally separate from the debate:- Posting images such as the above is a disgrace - even if AI generated, which I suspect it is. Please refer to the AAGBI plea on their official โXโ feed to respect the humanity of all current Associates. The image comes across as frankly ghoulish

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments
I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM โ I contend that he does not have the legal right

@churchill_alex @kejamieson_ Mere mereological essentialism. As in the Ship of Theseus, or Triggerโs Broom, even? HMS Victory not as a thing, nor even a collection of objectively existing thing parts, but rather as an organisational structure that has perceptual continuity?

This isnโt just vandalism, carpenters marks on HMS #Victory, kept track of beams coming and going during maintenance work. A wooden ship is a constantly evolving work of art. If sheโs being looked after properly she wonโt go from one year to the next without changes @kejamieson_ @PHDockyard
