I think this must be THE most awkward moment of the Covid Inquiry so far. I’ve dubbed it ‘The Long Pause’. I’d love to know what was going on in Dr Ritchie’s head here. I’d like to think she had a moment of reflection of how many lives were lost due to her flawed IPC guidance.
Great MDT team @GSTTnhs @RBandH @RoyalPapworth @uhbtrust @the_matter53344 at @MLSCourse today with good spots for changes to consider for national algorithms Hope to see lots of you at the #UKECPR24 Summit @RoySocMed on 23 September - early bird and abstracts by end of July!
It’s interesting that this case - which rests with the decision to sedate rather than anaesthetise (which is judged here to be safer) judiciary.uk/prevention-of-… Comes in the same week as this case -in which the criticism is of the decision to undertake general anaesthesia instead of deep sedation (which is judged here to be safer) judiciary.uk/prevention-of-… Both key to recommendations to prevent future deaths Albeit both may be right…. ….medicine is complex and requires careful, often time sensitive, high stakes decisions and actions. Anyone telling you otherwise doesn’t understand and hasn’t done it

Be kind to Medical Students Day UK FPO Allocations out today First year these have been RANDOMLY allocated A lot of young talent being sent places for their first job they’ve never been, worked or chosen This is terribly unfair #MedTwitter
