It's increasingly clear to me that this website is broken beyond repair. Keeping my account open for now, but most likely will be more active on Bluesky.

Whole blood in trauma has generated enormous interest. Today, @SWiFT_trial in @NEJM provides the clearest randomised evidence so far on whether prehospital whole blood improves outcomes in life-threatening traumatic haemorrhage: tinyurl.com/SWiFTNEJM

"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." Nuremberg Tribunal, 1946.

Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

"Do that thing Nick Chrimes made up, I can't remember what it's called" has to be the best recommendation @dasairway has ever made! 😂 I couldn't be more chuffed.
Just reading the 2025 @dasairway guidelines supplementary materials: bjanaesthesia.org.uk/cms/10.… The non-technical skills section is an absolute gold - it offers very useful practical steps how to address the issues may arise at plan A B C and D. ping @NicholasChrimes What is it?

It’s sort of weird how Wikipedia still just works and it’s still great. You’d feel it’d be enormously degrading like fucking everything else nowadays. Fair play Wikipedia.
