Despite comprising only 4% of all physicians, emergency physicians provide nearly 2/3 of acute care for uninsured patients, as required by EMTALA. This role emphasizes the vital importance of emergency departments in healthcare. #emergencymedicine

@SimonHarrisTD @FineGael @dfatirl @IrlEmbUkraine You are supporting war when we are supposed to be a “neutral” country. Shameful

When I welcomed President Zelenskyy to Ireland, I met a leader working around the clock for his people and his country. I assured him of our support then and that support stands today. Europe must and will remain united. Slava Ukraini.

"Older people with #frailty are more likely to need the help of health and social care services. In emergency departments, those over the age of 80 have seen their average wait times double.” BGS President @adamgordon1978 quoted in @guardian today. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

In this document, the BGS sets out five principles that should underpin #FrontDoorFrailty services. It provides tips on establishing services from those who have been through the process. Find out more bgs.org.uk/FrontDoorFrail…

@Niall_Boylan It’s not right. So many people who work so hard in this country & yet struggle to afford their meds, can’t buy a house etc. it’s a shame. We need to look after our own

What is going on in this country. I have had people born, raised and paid tax in this country on radio and podcasts who have cancer who can’t afford medication or GP visits and fighting for a medical cards to no avail. Nobody should be denied unaffordable vital medical care but I can see why people are getting really angry with what is becoming more and more, a two tier system.
