The complicity of NHS England, the GMC, the Colleges & establishment medics in this experiment on NHS patients has been scandalous.
It should never have taken years of grassroots doctor whistleblowing to expose.

When using a hyperangulated videolaryngoscope have you tried "reverse loading" a tracheal tube on to a preformed stylet?
The stylet & tracheal tube are shaped forcibly in the opposite direction to the normal curvature and to match the shape of the blade.
