Spotted this Irish Jersey in the Shark’s medical room in Durban today. Hung in honour of John McCall who died while playing at Kings Park stadium for Ireland U19 in the World Championship in 2004. Gone but not forgotten John.

It feels like Emergency Care in hospitals has been reconfigured. It used to be an ED attached to the hospital. Now the hospital is attached to the ED.

When I started working as an EM consultant here on an August Bank holiday 23 years ago today I didn’t envisage I’d be working a 13 hour day without lunch or dinner in 2024. But hey the patients get a much better level of care now even if there are more of them. Like 100% more !

Ah, the language of COVID: Oh for the good old days when Corona was a brand of beer, Alpha was a male, Delta was a US domestic airline, PCR was something people thought was resuscitation, Anti Gen was a favoured aunt, Zoom was a fast car, and PPE was something kids did in toilets

Great tonight that the total number of COVID-19 positive patients in acute hospitals in Ireland has dropped under 1000 to 990. Still higher than at the peak of the first wave though and still 167 souls in ICU. No dancing yet folks, still in the hammer phase.

It’s not only the patients who are at risk in crowded Emergency Departments. The green dots below the line show higher risk of death for emergency physicians at all age groups. The only specialty below the line.! Mean age death 58.7.

‘Tell me and I forget, teach me and I learn, involve me and I remember.’ Not so sure how I feel about 117 med students logging on to my lecture at 4 pm from their own devices instead of attending in person in the hospital. Want to be taught but don’t want to learn or remember ?
