From a nursing perspective I completely agree with you, continuity among staff is important but to suggest it's an independent factor in mortality is an overreach.

Doge is so efficient it is downsizing itself 🤣

Physiology and pathophysiology of mucus and mucolytic use in critically ill patients - Critical Care Airway mucus is a highly specialised secretory fluid which functions as a physical and immunological barrier to pathogens whilst lubricating the airways and humifying atmospheric air. Dysfunction is c...

TL;DR

▫️There’s no good evidence mucolytics help (or harm) ventilated ICU pts

▫️Everyone uses them anyway

▫️🤞MARCH trial will give us some answers

Dividing up healthcare into nice clear lanes that each proffesion can except to have domain over is not a particularly efficient model to develop a workforce. Advanced Practitioners don't want to 'be doctors' they want to have the skills necessary to help their patients.

Do you need a campaign manager? I can get you on several podcasts hosted by obnoxious 19yos to really sell your platform.

Likely the real danger for patients here aside from the financial impact of a surgery over running is surgeons/anesthesia providers lowering the bar for complexity they are willing to work on. ASA3-4 patients most likely to be impacted. Or patients with extensive surgical history.

Oh no, I would contemplate retiring 😢

What a loss, I see the changes he helped pioneer make a difference for patients every day. Rest in peace.

In-person crime isn’t rising — so why do we think it is? Are British streets more dangerous than they used to be? You’d be forgiven for thinking so. London is one of the mobile phone-snatching capitals of Europe, and not a day goes by without a push

Great piece from @tomcalver.bsky.social matches much of what we hear in focus groups people think crime levels are worse than they are because of an absence of visible law enforcement and feeling police have just given up trying with many crimes

India are in a hole and, other than the skipper and Siraj, they don’t really have the same quality of attack to dig them out of it. They’re going to have to hope the Aussies throw away a few wickets.

Find myself oddly saddened by this news, rightly or wrongly I associate Prescott with a more professional and sensible period of British politics. Strange to feel that nostalgia slipping away.

Interpreting blood test results on one person is like understanding time travel. The "predictive value" of the result changes... when the prevalence of the thing you're looking for in the population changes. WTAF? We were discussing at work and I remembered: this! www.badscience.net/2006/12/crys...
