In keeping with party doctrine presume this is “make medicine irate” similar to the “make America eight again” approach of allowing children to manage politics in the US?

It’s interesting that anyone when discussing a health minister or equivalent would even consider their “side of the story”. It is science. There are no sides. The evidence goes where the evidence goes. Vaccines save lives for instance . .

Weird!. As an Irish person I’m indistinguishable from members of the IRA. Ethnically and visually similar. Terrorists who killed and maimed allegedly in my name. There were those who supported the IRA from my locality. Small numbers but I shouldn’t be judged by their savagery

Really important message from Bernard Gloster. The system HSE Ireland is focused on and reacting to the care of in-patients . . . . unless they are in an emergency department waiting admission or waiting to be seen and harm befalls them as a result of crowding.

Far closer to what Rory Stewart said than the abrasive approach from JD Vance and ultimately I would defer interpretation of this to a theologian. Though common sense and general kindness or empathy would give the same thoughts. #makeamericahateagain

A judge is perfectly entitled to review the constitutionality of the actions of any member of the government in drafting laws and ultimately this means the party in power and its leadership. To not have those processes and failsafes in place would not be democratic.

An important topic Good overview but two issues. First it is crowding not overcrowding and secondly the only reason this is important is it leads to patient death. Why is hospital overcrowding still an issue? rte.ie/news/analysis-…

Everything that's wrong with Western attitude, diplomacy, and media... If you have a couple of minutes, it's well worth a listen.

In fairness ten out of ten workers in emergency departments have cared to patients in inappropriate settings in the last day.

Nicely framed by the BBC. The US stands shoulder to shoulder with anyone except the women and children massacred by totalitarian regimes. And so on . . .

The difference between an educated leader and whatever is on the right.

Ukraine the aggressor! Much like the United States attacked Japan in 1941 in their provocative actions at Pearl Harbour by the way they let the bombs fall and destroy both men and machine. Every time I think they cannot get more stupid or inept they continue to surprise me.

Nothing says that Sinn Féin have moved past their violent past more than lauding cold blooded killers. Feel free to mourn your friend but portraying a murderer as a patriot is a step too far.

Wow. This UK Comedian just demolished MAGA. Watch until the end. I promise.

Listen to this termination of resuscitation… which is how it should happen. There are several things to note that Dr. Robby from The Pitt did here that are spot-on. 1. He, in no uncertain terms, told her parents that her cardiac arrest was non-survivable. This is not the time

Be thankful you had an opportunity to help someone in a way that was previously missed. Do not let your ego drive you. Remember that doctor you helped by focussing on the patients concern might help you again some day. We are all far from perfect.

We can’t schedule death but we can structure it. But not in a crowded room with no personal space, no dignity and staff with little time to allow their empathy to shine.

Agree and disagree. Much of the availability is to cover the gaps in other professionals care. Few of the patients are true emergencies though many have the potential to be. Ritual whippings of emergency physicians should be discouraged (or continued until morale improves)

Interesting letter from Colm Henry HSE Ireland to IAEM . If patient in the emergency department who could and should be seen by acute medicine responsibility lies with emergency medicine(EM). So we are now openly saying if system dysfunctional all risk remains with EM?

The Israeli embassy complained about Glastonbury's "glorification of violence," MP Wes Streeting responded with: "I'd say to the Israeli embassy, get your own house in order....Israeli settler terrorists" carried out "unwanton acts of violence" 🔥
