@thatsnotmine125 @D__Melb @pa_StephenNash Shit evidence is worse than no evidence.

@thatsnotmine125 @D__Melb @pa_StephenNash This is poor evidence. The methodology is poor and barely models clinical reasoning. Also I wonder whether the funding/role of the lead author has any role on how the studies conclusions are drawn. Please try better.

@thatsnotmine125 @tonihazellgp @theveindoc @davethegp @Shr_Nottingham We are not talking about your contract. And isn't mandatory obligations under terms and conditions of employmeny contracts covered under contract law.

@thatsnotmine125 @tonihazellgp @theveindoc @davethegp @Shr_Nottingham You're wrong. Our contract states that employers must allow leave for life changing events if requested 6 weeks before the date. A simple Google search would show that to you. In the above case, the rota team were being obstructive, and you could just involve the bma.

@thatsnotmine125 @tonihazellgp @theveindoc @davethegp @Shr_Nottingham The solution would be involving the bma. It's contractual to be offered leave for life events.

@thatsnotmine125 @RobLaurensonD4P @tomhfh @wesstreeting How do you know they've successfully filled the roles? Did you work over the strikes, before or after? A body in a role does not make it successful.

@xxsnzz @stephenrhughes That's not really answering the question. 10 members of the acute medicine team displaced for a matron. Both deal with confidential information, but I'd argue not having adequate space for the medical take team really impacts flow and patient safety.

@surfdoctor @UKGastroDr Fair enough. Then definitely should not be doing the procedure. It seemed it was the dead brained variety I mentioned earlier.

@rhys_elgumati @UKGastroDr No doubt. But if for example the patient died of hypovolaemia post op because nobody checked obs/pain/general condition post op and it was not escalated to anybody. Is that a system fault or surgeon fault. I'm not defending, but this is what I think.

@JonnyBlackwell @FarhadPeerally2 @UKGastroDr Sometimes it's a systems cock up that causes ascitic drains to be left in longer than they should. Wards unfamiliar with these have staff that don't manage them well. I would only ever put drains in hepatology, mau or ambulatory wards where I am certain they can be cared for.

@thatsnotmine125 @DrInsurgent Why? I don't have figures, but due to the rotational nature of doctors training, most doctors would be traveling from further afield to the hospital.

@thesalariedGP So sad that that they've run with this click baity bs. It looks like she's been failed by the system but had a gp that worked incredibly hard to advocate for her.

@thatsnotmine125 I assume it was kept open and vacant till they got a PA into that practice? If they reach that stage, they should be thinking about ways to make it attractive to get the right person (GP) to the right job. Are they using social deprivation markers to sent pas across the country?

@thatsnotmine125 The same way how they decide where pas are going to work in underserved communities. You being deliberately obtuse.
