Quite a profound statement Yump. Vive La Revolution!

[yump] 11/1/2022 17:41

Takes a long time to revolutionise two entire country healthcare systems.

Quiet is the new loud.

[ducatiman] 11/1/2022 12:42

It’s gone very quiet, not even a tweet since 4/1.

[ducatiman] 10/1/2022 18:14

They need to speed it up and reduce the cost Ged.

[ged5] 10/1/2022 14:27

Thanks Ragnarr. TB certainly seems to be a growing problem. I wonder what they could do to improve screening?

Covid-19's Devastating Effect on Tuberculosis Care - A Path to Recoveryhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2118145ExtractThird, improving case detection is an urgent priority.4 Doing so will necessitate leveraging mobile-phone–based apps and digital tools to improve patient education, triage, and referrals and contact screening. Targeted active-case–finding initiatives, guided by precision public health (i.e., predictive analytics and mapping of hotspots), could help identify people with undiagnosed tuberculosis. This approach will require learning from Covid-19 testing experiences by bringing tuberculosis testing closer to where people live and work and engaging communities, private providers, and community-based health workers and civil-society organizations.4

Thanks for that link, LR2. The wait goes on.

Coming back to the point made by Digger of the mass NHS sackings to come, fully supported by you know which type, and the wider NHS self afflicted problems such as the local GP refusing to see a patient with an ilness yet having no problems seeing the same patient to jab up, then the obvious issue to arise is who then will do the heavy lifting.

6 million currently waiting for a routine procedure and the government ploughing 10 billion into CDCs makes little sense. I can only foresee this backlog increase rapidly and collapsing the NHS.

What is the point sending tens of thousands for scans when the system of providing care is totally broken. Will the scan tell the patient they have a serious disease but sorry we do not have any appointments available to now see you.
I am not sure this has been properly worked out.
Bleepa can still be a winner but it may just be a political stunt from patient point of view.

You understand the question, you just don’t want to answer it, because it would expose your ignorance and hypocrisy.

[petekand] 05/1/2022 22:54

Good spot LR2.
I can see some sort of roadmap in place to test out Bleepa over the short term so may see some news flow soon.
Yump, what you harping on about with your silly question? Are you on about the science medical advancement of mRNA tech? I am with Novak on that one. Besides, Boris said the other day that 90 percent in intensive care were those who had not had a booster, ie. those who took two shots. Wtf.

Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead.

Bleepa mentioned on pages 32 and 220.

Wishing a successful and healthy new year to you all.
Rag is a local volunteer for Pfizer, he is hardly capable of understanding the points raised by Digger. Ha.
I raised the issue of potential delays resulting from the mass jabbing campaign to save mankind from the common cold but my views seemed unpopular at the time.
However upon further thought, maybe any delay may not be too severe since Bleepa is now more NHS CDC focussed but overall I do sometimes wonder how serious the NHS are as an organisation, it is all a bit of a mystery right now.

[digger2779] 05/1/2022 16:09

ragnarr - yes but it's the same every year over winter even before all the cutbacks going back 10 years or so. Once the mass sacking takes place ( where's the logic in that?) there will be even more delays.

[ragnarr] 05/1/2022 13:57

digger - I think the whole of the NHS is focusing on other things right now, don't you.

[digger2779] 05/1/2022 12:48

ducatiman - haha. We've had plenty of gas so far but been unable to put it to good use. 3 more months of trapped wind it is then.

[ducatiman] 05/1/2022 12:37

digger, I reckon 3/4 months to target depth but we might get some oil shows before then 😂

[haroldthegreat] 04/1/2022 13:19

I discovered the room where I stored the kit was below 15C .The fluid became very viscous and will not go through the filter in the top of the tube .
Warm it up before use to 20c AND it is fine .

[kinwah] 30/12/2021 14:10

Harold yes Boots have been handing out Orient Gene's LFDs. As you say it is quite a tough tube to squeeze. I like the little white tube holder though.it makes it feel like some magic ritual.

[ged5] 30/12/2021 13:18

Sounds good.

Reminder of the recent RNS:-



Wonder if Feedback will get tipped over the weekend. Certainly has the potential to be one of the biggest risers in 2022.

[lr2] 30/12/2021 13:04

Yes, thanks Ged. All family members (including the grandchildren) tested negative for Covid on Christmas Day morning. A very close run thing but the day went well.

[ged5] 30/12/2021 13:01

I guess they have to give some privileges to those willing to pay.

Your link worked fine when you used your iMac, Ragnarr.

Good Christmas, LR2?

"We caution against extrapolating the study findings to rural areas as our study was done in metropolitan Dhaka, where experienced readers are often more available. Indeed, computer-aided detection software might perform even better compared with radiologists in rural and poorly resourced areas."

Also cannot copy link, best I can do is remove the 'https' part of it which then allows the rest to be displayed.
