I feel like if you are not ready to order when the waiter first comes to you, you get re-triaged as a category 5 and then you may as well just go home

Those concert medical tent areas with mattresses and bottles of water for revellers who have gotten too drunk should be repurposed (or at least shared) with the over 30s who have gone to a music festival by mistake

Very surprising to hear GRA president and serving Limerick Garda admit to not having had any training in CPR for 18 years
I assumed anyone working in emergency services would have regular BLS training - whether mandatory, or for their own professional development & good practice

I'm still annoyed about how poor the #24NoMore slogan was for the 2013 NCHD industrial action. The strike was demanding an end to shifts longer than 24 hours, but everyone thought it was for an end to 24 hour shifts.
And NCHDs are still doing >24 hour on-site shifts!
So poor

Many thanks @IrishCAPSS @DrDaraByrne for a great three days of simulation training. Great final day of workshops with @br @romerogamesltd on the future roles of gaming in healthcare and meducation. @spikelila can I have a console for my b-day??

I can't think of a single valid use for home blood pressure monitors. To offset their cost to the health service, they should be taxed like cigarettes

Has anyone ever seen a ?periorbital cellulitis that wasn't actually shingles/herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
I haven't. I'm not sure periorbital cellulitis really exists.
I mean it probably does. I've just never seen it. GPs seem to see it a lot

I've never seen a patient attend ED with an injury related to untied shoelaces. Nothing on PubMed either.
I don't think untied shoelaces are as dangerous as we've been led to believe

No out of hours GP would see a patient today because he was Covid-19
So instead he was seen by two paramedics, a triage nurse, two ED nurses, an ED doctor, an entire waiting room of patients, and a taxi driver to bring him home
It's frustrating and it doesn't make sense

This is great.
Will definitely be aiming to include some of these practices and insights into the @SIMIRtech virtual ED
Psychological safety isn't just a sim phenomenon

After studying ED teams, I am thrilled to share insights about how they work and some simple hacks to make them even better.
Spoiler alert: psychological safety is what it’s all about - thanks @amyCEdmondson @RoisinODonovan4

If you were surprised during the pandemic that some people were unwilling to suffer the slightest inconvenience to prevent deaths and for the public good, you've obviously never cycled in Ireland

Is it just me or does it seem like this question was written by Robert?
19 Aug 2021
Our next @UCATofficial question.
Personally I think Ariel is pretty brave to stand up to Robert. All too often medics stand by and let bad behaviour happen. Ariel isn’t doing this and fair play to them. I’d answer A. (Robert is just the sort of person you’d dread working with).

When you're not sure what sport they need the trophy for, just play it safe.

Terrific thread on a really emotive ad that whitewashes all of the housing crisis context.
To me it looks like she needs a stairlift. Never mind the potential delirium implications of living on the artificial set of your old sitting room within an ultra modern house

1/10 This new ad. for Bank of Ireland is problematic. It exploits aspects of home life in Ireland to sell mortgages is thus commodifying the most private human of social spatial settings, this time taking particular advantage of the Irish Mammy -

Medical students and trainees are increasingly annoyed that their education and training doesn't improve the reality of their practice.
It's like going to pilot school and learning everything about planes, except for how to fly them
@SIMIRtech is a flight simulator for doctors

e-learning and mandatory modules across all our organisations fill us with dread because the learning doesn't really work.
The focus is on delivering 'training' that is entirely separate from the reality and intricacies of practice.

That was very enjoyable. Thanks David Gardiner @Hothouse_TUDub and @thepersuaders for chairing a lovely chat about how @SIMIRtech will make learning medicine more immersive (and fun!)
So interesting as well to hear about @GenieInAHeadset bringing VR to meditation

Great to see one of @SIMIRtech's best friends @vaughan_bee speaking at #ARVRInnovate.
Foveated rendering (ht @McNamaraDr) is my favourite new term of the conference so far. Be warned however, I will be using it neither sparingly, nor correctly
