What if we said βfuck youβ so hard to these price-gouging streaming services, and invested in physical media again, that we brought back Blockbuster and little grocery store movie rental hubs. We had it so good

"While the authors are to be commended for asserting organisational responsibility in meeting these new guidelines, in the interim, the gap between what is expected of anaesthetists with respect to consent & what can be realistically delivered grows."

The βstudiesβ that led to these numbers are incredibly flawed.
For example, say a patient has a small intracranial hemorrhage from a fall. Sheβs on eliquis, a blood thinner, because sheβs at risk of a stroke.
What does the neurosurgery team do with the eliquis?
Say they hold it. Two days later she has a massive stroke and dies. That would count as a medical error in the aforementioned studies.
Say they donβt hold it. The bleeding in her brain progresses and she dies. That would also count as medical error.
Doctors often walk in to advanced disease processes, many of which have no reliable data on the right course of treatment. Many treatment decisions have a potential for bad outcomes either way.
Sometimes you do surgery and the patient has a complication. Sometimes you donβt do surgery and the disease progresses.
We donβt have a crystal ball.
Itβs not like piloting an airplane, unless the pilot was taking over the flight while the plane was on fire, one engine was out, and it was heading straight at a mountain.
Doctors do make errors, and egregious ones should be punished, but these numbers are a joke.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman look up how many Americans die from medical error each year, and the answer floors them both.
ROGAN: βOkay, so medical error is responsible for 251,000 deaths a year.β
HUBERMAN: βWhoa, thatβs crazy.β
ROGAN: βDo you understand how insane that is? Imagine if that was Pop-Tarts.β
That number comes from a 2016 Johns Hopkins study published in the BMJ. It estimated medical errors kill 251,454 Americans a year, which makes them the third leading cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer.
And it gets worse. A 2023 Johns Hopkins and Harvard study found that misdiagnosis alone kills an estimated 371,000 Americans a year and leaves another 424,000 permanently disabled.
If an airline killed that many people, nobody would ever board a plane again.

Society has gone very wrong.
Road rage driver Joseph Hedley was in court this week pleading guilty to assault. Cyclist Iain Brown was left with a serious brain injury, including a fractured skull & bleeding on the brain.
Hedley will be sentenced next month.

This is bullshit.
Vets fees have gone through the roof in the last 15 years.
What has happened?
Private equity. Independent practices have been swallowed up.
Kick out the private equity and let's vets run the firms.

The Norwegian Consumer Council made a video about enshittification and got 2.5M views and 168K likes on IG. (If the style feels familiar, it was created by NewsLab, the same advertising agency that made the brilliant Visit Oslo video from a few years back.)

Nick Candy and Holly Valance. Britainβs most expensive house. A Β£265m sale.
Usual consequence: Β£32m of stamp duty.
But five small flats were included in the sale. By an extraordinary happy accident, that cut the tax by Β£18.5m.

π¨ Report a barrier jumper. Get punched in the face.
Clapham Junction, ~5.30pm, 19 August.
A passenger does the right thing β tells station staff a man has shoved through the barriers.
The man sees him report it. Walks over. Punches him twice in the face. Hospital treatment for significant facial injuries.
British Transport Policeβs response? Release a CCTV still and say they βwould like to speak toβ the man pictured because he βmay have information.β
Anyone who recognises him: text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40, quote **583 of 19 August**.

The 'arguments' against this evidence in the comments ....
It's pretty simple, vaccines are good.
Interesting.
A national cohort study of 28 million individuals found:
No increased risk of 4-year all-cause mortality in individuals aged 18 to 59 years in persons vaccinated against COVID-19.
It's almost like antivaxers are liars and had no evidence...

An unfinished breakfast 116 years ago. I have cleaned-up this startlingly immediate Autochrome still life by Wladimir Schohin, an amateur photographer who is recognised as one of Finland's most accomplished autochrome photographers. This boiled egg was photographed in 1910 using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.
