American spending on armies has been at the detriment of sleevies to keep them in.

Thirlwall’s enquiry will generate a great deal of comment in coming days and weeks. She very deliberately didn’t address the issue of Letby’s guilt - this was not the appropriate forum for that. Instead, she looked at how the NHS had handled the affair, and her words are damning. But more …

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

I now wonder if there are any cultural references to 606 or similar.

Arsphenamine. Incredibly difficult stuff to handle and toxic if mishandled. But rather better than the mercury compounds it replaced.

I'm not saying we're living the cliche, but I've seen three other anaesthetists out on their bikes this morning, and now I'm going to make an espresso.

Presuming is not something to do. Wait, see what occurs and comply with recommendations when they appear. We’ve been through the dramas of DOLS, HRA right to life and various others, the system tends towards sanity and avoiding a torrent of litigation.

“As far as we can see, the decision by Theis J has not yet been published”

Alex Scott @cheapoflurane.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

I suspect that the article is written about an unpublished judgement and even if this decision is 1. As described and 2. Holds then a change in language rather than a change in practice will be the outcome.

Oh yes, it's just you lose all those safety features too. At the minimum for the auto-breaking pedestrian protection you need cameras, a radar and a big CPU to integrate it all.

The trouble is the touchscreens etc are cheaper than a bunch of manual dials and switches, in that a car must have a list of driver aids requiring lots of inputs and processing power - so the dials and switches would be extras vs a cheap tablet screen www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice...

Expiratory flow sensing - the only setting on the vent where a lower number is more support. I try knocking it down from 25% to 10% occasionally. It terminates inspiratory support when the insp flow falls to the set percentage as compared with peak flow.

Mostly a trial of CPAP rather than formal NIV. No difference in mortality or need for intubation, and nearly 10% of patients were enrollment violations with a different primary outcome measure, which is. . . .

That many employers including ours will take our labour until we're empty and then institute something like a health improvement plan, turning things back onto the employee. This isn't resilience, it's self defence.
