My surgical woulds are healing although I really do not care for the electric shock type pains that catch me out on some arm movements (Lymph node part of the sugery). I'll know about the next steps after my appontment with the consultant on 1st May. For anyone in the UK, please remember just how precious our NHS is when it comes time for you to vote in the upcoming local elections.

So I must have missed the memo about Mastodon now algorithmically inserting certain posts into people's feeds, even if they aren't following the account?

I generally think Eugen makes good design decisions (sometimes suboptimal due to trying to please everyone, but reasonable at least!) but cannot fathom the logic behind this one.

I'm not following and have never even seen this foodie account.

Edit: Advertisers are riding popular hashtags - in this case #NHS. I've updated the attached image.

I commented somewhere recently that it's unfair to run a town without useful public transport because it encourages people to drive when they shouldn't and harm themselves and others.

Now we see that NHS staff fatigue combines with a lack of public transport to kill them, and others, on the roads.

Not running useful transport at all hospital shift changes is very cruel.

The Guardian · NHS staff fatigue poses ‘significant’ threat to patient safety, watchdog warnsBy Denis Campbell

‘The report highlights instances of #deaf people receiving particularly poor #NHS care. In one instance, a woman was not provided with an interpreter, which meant she was unaware she had had a miscarriage.

Another example was a patient receiving no food or water during a hospital stay as they could not hear staff offering it to them.’

How did we end up here?

How can we improve situation?

The Guardian · NHS ‘routinely failing’ deaf patients in England, report findsBy Tobi Thomas

If there's a technological silver bullet for the NHS crisis it may well be Electronic Patient Records.... but, this is not a new technology, its already been largely rolled out; the problem is more that it is not being utilised to anything like its full potential.

Why's that? Well we're back to the real problem in the NHS, the issue of over-stretched staff, weak work-force planning & insufficient support being given to help staff get to grips with EPRs.
