The say “I am alive” comic

I’m reminded of this comic almost every time I check LinkedIn

Interesting to consider that 45% of PEs have concurrent DVTs, and 30-50% of PEs should be homeable.

Yet data UK data suggests that more patients with PE are being admitted (and fewer DVTs are being admitted)

Is this better recognition of the sicker pt?
Or (my suspicion) less scope to manage risk?

one is "starship troopers" (the movie).

me at 12, when it came out: fuck yeah! save the day! get your girl back! the brain bug is scared!

me at 15: that movie is actually really campy and terrible.

me as an adult: paul verhoeven deserves a retroactive oscar for this.

If I can’t unionize Claude then it’s not conscious, next question

It is useful, and prudent, to make a distinction between vaccine hesitancy and vaccine resistance. For example, there are many reasons why certain racialized and minoritized communities might hold onto questions about vaccines because of their histories with the state and colonization.../

PulmCrit: Catheter-directed lysis = Peripheral lysis for PE (STRATIFY trial!) Catheter-directed thrombolysis for PE has always been a silly idea, for numerous reasons: Clots are widely distributed throughout both lungs. 100% of the

The trial surely has limitations, but it's been increasingly clear that catheter-directed thrombolysis is silly for over a decade now

TBH, this is a wild story about device manufacturers using sponsored RCTs to torture EBM

Thea Stein at the Nuffield Trust Summit: "An NHS Chief Exec I spoke to said the most morally distressing things they did were to manage NHS money – but I couldn’t publish that as it would identify them. By the sixth one who said that, I knew it wouldn’t." Watch the livestream via the link in our post.

@theasrstein.bsky.social shares the reality of being an NHS leader today, as part of a packed #ntsummit programme.

Watch the livestream and look out for the recordings on our website 📽️

As heard elsewhere (I paraphrase);

Improv works in a very specific form of comedy. Mainly that performed by Robin Williams & he alone.
Improv doesn’t belong in any other form of entertainment or activity. This includes political decision making, city planning & resident doctor training pathways.

I thought the BMA GPs were more powerful…

Imposition happens often. The changes in T&C are usually not agreed upon by the union and they remain in dispute. However the changes usually dont meet the bar required for members to vote for strike action. The initial Hunt strike ended in dispute with imposition.

Who else do they work for? Obviously some can go private but some areas are not likely to have that option. The NHS is a monopoly

The constant misinformation from the UK media is depressing. Emma unpicking the lies once again

Thank you to delegates for attending today’s consultants conference, and to our members who watched on the livestream.

Vote now to have your say on the 2026/27 GP contract which is being imposed on GP practices in England. GPs are being asked to do more and more, list sizes and GP-to-patient ratios are expanding while continuity of care is shrinking.

Can he impose a GP contract?

Can’t GPs walk/opt out of it?

(Genuine question)

This year @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social imposed a new GP contract

Provided an extra £1.50 to uncap the number of calls or requests per day & stand by the phone or computer

And if the job isn’t completed within 24hours the GP will be sanctioned

Job specifications below - can’t see a problem🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s really hard- but for trainees with disabilities, knowing what adjustments are possible helps make career decisions- to get half way or further through a training programme having been led to believe they can complete it, to be told x is a problem, is really unfair

Accommodations are so varied and subjective. What might be feasible at a larger tertiary unit may not be possible somewhere smaller. Is there a baseline level of expertise and skill that’s mandatory in order to be defined as x or y? That also extends to things like working hours … Lots of worms…

Want to claim tax relief from HMRC on BSE membership subscriptions?

The BSE is recognised by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as a professional body and you can claim tax relief on annual subscriptions through a self-assessment tax return: https://www.gov.uk/self-assessment-tax-returns
