The accusation that the Lords are “obstructing democracy” by supporters of the assisted dying bill is a ridiculous one that shows up the flaws in this process that have been there from the very beginning – which have repeatedly been covered up by heated rhetoric (1/?)

After some consideration, the synthesis I have settled on is Starmer is bad and cynical for shamelessly pulling strings to block a rival, Burnham is bad and cynical for being ready to risk a Reform mayor in Greater Manchester for his own ambition, and it is time at last for chaos with Ed Miliband.

Really useful paper. Traditional dosing strategies (200mg IM loading, followed by 800-1200mg/day) don't reflect its half-life. Typical loading doses of around 600mg may not need any follow-on regular dose (or a very-much-less than 800mg/day dose if used)

James Davies @jamesdavies84.eurosky.social · 30/11/2024

I agree, but sometimes that comes at a cost to reducing access. Basic E.g can we provide the excellent care to one person, or can we provide good care to two people and free space in the system for someone else to get out of A&E onto amu and therefore an ambulance to offload their patient.

I’m just not a big fan of the outsourcing model. I work in an “nhs hospice”, you’ll be familiar with a similar model in Oxford. We’re efficient, we see more patients than the hospices around us. Think the responsibilities and integration with the local system that come with the funding will be key.

James Davies @jamesdavies84.eurosky.social · 30/11/2024

One thing I’m wondering, are we talking about nationalising the hospices? I wouldn’t be against it! But is that what hospices really definitely want?

Should you avoid IV iron in an iron deficient pt who was recently transfused? Many fear iron overload, as 1U RBC transfusion contains ~200mg iron (primarily within RBCs). Is this a problem? 1/X #medsky #ansky #emimcc #hemesky #irondeficiency
