@EdanStarforth @martynbjones Well aware. 🤣🤣

@CatelinaBee @martynbjones The quote is from GoT

Are you even a Dr if you phone isn’t littered with names like “John SHO” and “Salma ED”? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!

@EdanStarforth @martynbjones Or channel 4 news ?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@martynbjones I really hope he had watched GoT

@DrSelvarajah Yup. Agreed our Cat3 & 4 is a start... We really need top down triage... the clinician triaging everything "doctor" first approach to get it right. But that = £££££

@DrSelvarajah CAT3&4 AMBULANCES are retriaged by clinicians in our locality... I guess it doesn't extend to CAT2 Because of the potential for dangerous delay...

@Noahhhh93 I used to... and it was always weird, folk going out of their way to avoid eye contact, etc. Now I have a puppy EVERYONE stops to say hi...

@Portesbleus @fascinatorfun @FurlongMick This us a "thing" ????!!! WTAF is wring with some people!😵😱

There's a homeless lad who sits outside the local shop, with his dog, near where I'm staying. Tonight I gave him £20, and some dog treats, someone said, "he'll just spend it on drink" I'm not bothered aslong as he gets enjoyment from it, right or wrong?

Pat Cummins realizing that Khawaja had to stand away because of the alcohol so he tells his team to put it away and calls Khawaja back immediately. A very small but a very beautiful gesture❤️ twitter.com/buttsey888/sta…

@MonkEmma ...and you have a black lab???

If you are 🤬about Downing Street parties 👍🏻that Djokovic is having his visa removed 👍🏻that Andrew has had his titles removed 😱by minimizing of covid risks by govt & media Then let’s #FollowbackFriday! I know they aren’t EU specific views but they are (IMO☺️) sensible ones!

@_Suz_Lee @emergprehosp Is "should all paramedics be able to recognise raised blood glucose and kussmaul's breathing as DKA" ? Except that wouldn't open up the useful discussion points that I have had for why the crew may not have thought that way... dispatch as resp distress, etc... anyway... rambling

@CatelinaBee @emergprehosp You may not have intended to be unkind but the embarrassed emoji and wording makes it sound like you're saying 'err what do you think!' What you could have done is make it more like a case study and learning point rather than a 'I had this stupid call' type of post 🤷‍♀️

Doc, we're on scene, despatched as "resp distress" but we're not worried about tachypnoea and mild tachycardia, we're worried about their BM, its 26.9 and this 19 year old isn't diabetic, we want to know what you want us to do? No urine sample, pt unable to PU... Erm... 😳 WWYD?

@_Suz_Lee @emergprehosp 🤔 it was, almost verbatim, the opening gambit of the call... And this 😳 is the emoji I use for "crikey" so... I'll take that on board for future posts. Seems on twitter everyone is very negative... so I'll in future post the exact question I want answering, which I guess here

@emergprehosp Congratulations!!

#TeamGP how are you feeling? ✅Work long hours ✅No time with family ✅ Forget to eat ✅Struggle to sleep ✅Stressed about work ✅Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? ✅ Asked if you need well-being support? 💡 Just need the job to be possible again @BMA_GP

Novak Djokovic is the first person to be knocked out of the Australian Open. He only missed two shots? #DjokovicOut #antivaxx

@paranthropology Less obvious is cool 😎 there'll always be SOMETHING we've all never seen before. ... I quite like talking to our paramedic crews

@paranthropology That's a really sh*tty attitude! I hope you don't think I was mocking/being mean. Was genuinely trying yo gauge if this should be standard knowledge in a paramedic Should have asked specifically that Q. Will be more careful how tweets are worded in future.

@J_bagpuss Yup my worry regards raising it... It's not like we can all know everything all of the time...

@FrustratedPara4 I think sheepish because they maybe realised it was quite clear "DKA until proven otherwise" once I pointed it out?

@emergprehosp Aware. Commonly used in Coventry/surrounding

@xebykceb @DocCSarah This was a repeat after washing hands sadly. Pt is new DM. Confirmed.

@DocCSarah @CatelinaBee I don’t understand people checking blood glucose without cleaning the finger first… Seems so obvious but seen too many high results because it wasn’t done.

@ClipboardUK See, as a GP, I'd think this... but it seems from calls we get, not to be the case. I wonder how many wobbly obs don't get discussion. 🤔
