I am bleeding my pockets dry paying astronomical prices for a half broken internet connection just to read what the outside world is saying. And let me be honest, it is absolutely infuriating to see how completely disconnected so many of you are from the actual mood of the people inside Iran. Do not lose your nerve. Do not be afraid. The narrative you are seeing right now is a complete illusion. The voices currently being amplified online are fake, manipulated, and engineered by the cyber army of this cannibalistic regime. They have locked us in a digital prison and severed our connection to the world specifically so they can control the narrative and project a false sense of fear and submission. We are not cowering in the dark. We are watching a dying terrorist syndicate thrash in its final days. Do not judge the resolve of the Iranian people based on the fabricated noise of our captors. Wait until these walls come down. Wait until this internet blackout is broken and you can finally hear the unfiltered, undeniable roar of a nation that has been stripped to the bone. You will see exactly what an unstoppable force looks like. Hold the line. Level the playing field and we will finish the job.

Doctors SHOULD have a monopoly over medicine Just as dentists have a monopoly over dentistry Just as pilots have a monopoly over aviation Just as teachers have a monopoly over teaching It is simply undergoing the correct training for the job.

If you don’t do pCO2, do you do critical care? Critical care transport service finds nearly 1/3 of patients have >2.5kPa discrepancy between pCO2 and ETCO2. Should ventilation capability = access to blood gas monitoring….? qxmd.com/r/39546437

Turns out it’s difficult to run a debrief with @rafredarrows practicing their display overhead! No career envy here whatsoever…

I’ve been thinking a lot about why I object to the associate programme, I stress, in it’s current guise And I could well be wrong about it all!? I think I’ve finally worked out how to express my reservations And I’m going to use a @dasairway algorithm 🧵

I’ve made a video to help patients understand why there are concerns about the roll out of the PA role: Is your 'doctor' REALLY a doctor? youtu.be/k5v1XZX0I8A Please help share to build awareness.

As volunteer responders we need to achieve the same standards of governance as those that respond in a professional capacity “It’s a voluntary job, not a hobby” @Heavy_AP #BASICS2023
