How many A&E patients wait more than 12 hours between a decision to admit them to hospital and actually being admitted? In August 2010, England's NHS recorded one case of this. Not 100, not 1,000. Just one. In December 2022, it was 54,532.

In addition to causing horrendous skin wounds (below) #xylaxine is not reversible with naloxone (narcan) leading to challenges with bystander and prehospital care. 3/4

I’ve seen hypotensive GI bleeds, STEMIs, 3rd degree heart blocks, sepsis in neutropenic patients w a lactate of 7, hypotensive ruptured spleens….I think a shorter list would be what HAVENT we had to care for in the hallway.

Funny how the CEO makes at least 250x times a nurse and we allow insurance companies and hospitals to own each other. What’s the worst that could happen? Oh wait we are living it.

If you want to be a hero, Learn CPR Its really not that hard And yes, you can literally save a life Here are some basic tips from @NidaQadirMD And a short video from @American_Heart You can do it

➡️ Push hard & fast in the center of the chest 100-120x per minute ➡️ Aim to compress the chest a depth of 2 inches w/ each push ➡️ Allow complete chest recoil before the next compression ➡️ No mouth-to-mouth needed Video demo from @American_Heart: m.youtube.com/watch?v=C6bCbF…

This is a lawsuit in the making. Especially if this is a college course. I can’t imagine creating a dress code for my class.

Last night I captured an incredibly difficult shot: ISS transiting the moon, while gently kissing Tycho crater as it flies by at 5 miles per second. That crater is 53 miles wide, so while the station almost looks like it's orbiting the moon it's actually 1000x closer to us.

1. One in five US workers is bound by a noncompete clause, which restricts them from freely switching jobs, lowering wages and undermining fair competition. Today @FTC proposed a rule to prohibit firms from imposing noncompete clauses on their workers. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

A union isn't an outside organization that comes in to help you, a union is YOU and your colleagues coming together to empower each other as a collective. And trust me, that's way more powerful.

NEW: The FDA will now allow prescriptions for medication abortion, or the abortion pill, to be filled at pharmacies. 🫡🥹 This is BIG news for the fight to restore + expand abortion access in a post-Roe world — here’s why ⬇️ nyti.ms/3ImzEoW


The camera folks at CSPAN are just having a grand time with this. I bet they’re not used to this kind of viewership for routine procedural events! It’s fantastic.
