An idea. ‘Microharm’. Healthcare spends huge effort investigating ‘big bad’ - rare adverse events like death, or loss of limb. Could we be better by focussing more on common, avoidable ‘microharms’ like delay, thirst, pain and distress? Over to you…

Been trying to communicate with @RingGo_parking all day to correct information in their database that I can’t correct with their app. Spectacularly awful UI and ‘virtual assistant’.

There’s been lots of debate about this. Which is great. But despite the effort that so many have made over the decades, this is still the prevailing opinion. (Added as photo because I don’t know how to link to it…!)

Anyone else think that doing a prehospital RSI with ketamine and roc, then placing a 7,0 tube is a bit like ‘getting off at Haymarket’?

After twenty years of banging on about this, I have given up hope that healthcare will ever take HF/E seriously…

Two weeks. Three hours of online chat. And many phone calls. Still not resolved…

‘Professionalism’ is a word now only used to imply that healthcare workers should do something for free. Discuss…?

The ‘watching the rally after nineteen pints of Tennants’ issue is a perpetual problem!

It’s darker than midnight in a coal mine. And the surviving crews are heading out for Leg 3 of the #MullRally, 47 miles of wet tarmac between them and their beds… The marshals and safety crews out there in the blackness have all their fingers crossed. Stay safe, people.

Leg 2 of the #MullRally is done… and the sun’s out… 150 cars started, 44 have either retired, or are being frantically worked on right now. Those that have made it so far have done 100 competitive miles, with another 47 miles to cover tonight… Let’s hope the weather holds.

Leg 1 of the #MullRally finished quite late… and some of the crews will have worked through the night to get cars out for Leg 2. At least the sun’s out, and the rain’s stopped. For now. Have fun, and stay on the black stuff, folks. There’s a long way to go yet.

Is ready at last. The first car of the 2021 #MullRally rolls off the ramp in Tobermory at 1930 tonight. Stay safe out there, people. It’s going to be dark. And wet. Obviously.
