I agree, the problem is that we're not loving the middle east hard enough.


e. Uh, Wikipedia says that in 7 ad "Zhai Yi, Governor of the Commandery of Dong (modern Puyang, Henan) declares Liu Zin, Marquess of Yang Xiang (modern Tai'an, Shandong), emperor. This proves to be the largest of the rebellions against Emperor Ruzi of Han.". This owns because the commandery of Dong is a sequence of words which amuses me.

I've had this argument with a few doctors. People seem to be keen on the BMA maintaining 'political neutrality', but that's clearly doing gently caress all for us. It worked when there was respect for doctors from both sides of the commons, but it's pretty clear the Tories don't care anymore. Given how often doctors have been on TV in the last few weeks arguing with DoH stooges in lieu of Jeremy Hunt himself, I think the idea that the BMA can remain apolitical is pretty laughable.

It's not just doctors, people expect all health care professionals to remain apolitical. It's at least in part to do with the rise of social media meaning patients can look you up.


E: basically bear in mind that anytime someone's in the news the first thing that'll happen is a reveal of their social media presence spun in a way that makes them look bad. Such as the recent non story about junior doctors daring to take a/l

An army recruitment poster has appeared in my local bus shelter reading "DON'T JOIN THE ARMY - DON'T MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDS".

If the shelter were JC Decaux I'd just steal the thing; but it's a Clear Channel one that I have no idea how to open.
I figure I just spraypaint some bollocks over it, but what?

"Don't join the army - or you'll die of pneumonia after being thrown out on the street when they don't need you any more" is accurate but too unwieldy.

Ober-loo-tenant or whatever the gently caress his name is made a very amusing post a couple months back about the equal standing of opposing opinions (or rather, how such a concept is bullshit) but I can't find it :(

In December he made a post about how if your opinions are really bad according to him then he's under no obligations to debate you on them and may call you a oval office. This month was the story about going to dinner with the gentry, them having bad opinions about overpopulation and him not calling them cunts because more subtlety is required outside of the ukmt echochamber.

Girls and panzer is actually good. A lot of people in That Japanese Game From Japan You Like Is Totally Anime, What You Like Is Anime thought it would be another cute girls going cute things show, but it's actually more of a sports show. My recommendation is to give it a try. There's a movie also.

I liked the part in the official report into that case where it said "although none of the doctors actually said it, it is likely they were reluctant to prescribe antibiotics because of national advice".

Antimicrobial resistance really isn't worth undermining based on conjecture on the potential opinions of out of hours gps who didn't have access to clinical records.

The OOH gps should have access to the clinical records if the patient/'s guardian ha\s agreed for them to be shared.

It'll be something to do with access to whatever IT system they have in the patient's area. I'd certainly guess that the doctors at 111 are on a different system. The out of hours doctors may not have smartcards.....


The nhs is a loving mess of different clinical record systems that don't/can't share information. Where I work we're on one system, the mainstream services are a different trust so they use another version of that system that we can't see, the county next to us is on a completely different system.....


IT in the nhs is a joke and will remain a joke until a government manages to procure a national system every hcp can tap into.
