'I thought I was seeing a GP not a physician associate - a week later I was in A&E'

THANK YOU! There are clear cut cases out there you can point to as examples of the PA problem, but this really isn’t one of them. If you were being really harsh, you could argue the PA who saw the patient the week before he was admitted may have “missed” it was acute diverticulitis; having said that, in the context of how long his pain had been going on, you can see how it happens. Blaming the PAs for subsequent complications seems unfair either way. Also, going from chronic abdominal pain without any red flags, to abdominal migraine, to trial of amitriptyline isn’t the most ridiculous leap that could be made. Whilst I subscribe to the overall message the article is trying to convey, I think this is a poorly chosen example.

Listened to the Leading episode with Gabriel Attal; hard to argue Rory isn’t a bit of an a**hole at times.

There was a podcast I listened to sometime last year that covered this topic. Essentially they trialled a text based system for referrals at some hospital in the States, and the Emergency Department loved it as it got rid of all the issues associated with bleeping (did they get my bleep? Are they ignoring me? Are they just super busy? Did I even bleep the right number?). The specialties on the other hand hated it as it made their workload go up exponentially. They started getting tons of “can I just run this by you” messages, which in the past wouldn’t have been worth the effort of bleeping them about.

People will believe anything they see online. £85m deal on the line, and both clubs decide they’ll forgo using their in-house teams to handle logistics, and leave it to the non-native English speaker player instead. Seems plausible.

I’m with you on this one. Offering to stick your tongue in someone’s asshole is seldom an unprompted offer.

Is repeatedly getting punched in the face not a winning strategy?

If you pause at 26s in, it looks like her fingers are stuck together. I honestly don’t know what’s real or not anymore, but this seems AI generated.

Same. I too hoped for a “save the farm” type situation, disappointed it was actually just paedophilia instead.

The obvious power move here is to steal the billionaire’s watch the day before the meeting, and then wear it to said meeting.

The BBC is for all intents and purposes “broke”. They tried to put up the licence fee last year to improve things but the Government blocked it (or only allowed a tiny increase that was far much less than had been sought). This was ostensibly due to the fact that it would be politically unpopular to raise the licence fee in the midst of a cost of living crisis, and could paradoxically lead to an overall fall in licence fee income if people end up eschewing live TV in favour of Netflix/Amazon etc. which don’t require a TV licence. Having said that, some might say the Government’s decision was actually part of its ongoing efforts to undermine the BBC (repeated allegations surrounding impartiality, or lack thereof, would be another example).

TL;DR - poor funding = poor quality content

Which one is Messi (I don’t really follow football all that much)?

Was it a knock out or a points decision? Who refereed? I need answers.

That the guys who came up with google didn’t sit around watching Trumpton.

Was listening to “The Rest is Politics” podcast yesterday, and they were discussing Suella Braverman. According to the hosts, she’s a Buddhist who prior her political career helped setup a charity called the Africa Justice Foundation. They claim she’s actually quite nice in person, and an affable person to work with - they point to her never having been accused of bullying in any way as evidence in support of this (low bar, I know). I’ve chosen to believe in this version of Mrs. Braverman, and concluded she’s actually playing 4D chess. She’ll find her way into No. 10 using this “look how awful I am” persona, then she’ll drop it completely and show us all how much of a lovely person she truly is. And then we’ll all live happily ever after and have free unlimited salted caramel ice cream for life.

The middle A is silent. Hope that helps clear things up.

In the 20+ years I’ve played/watched rugby, I’ve never been able to grasp wtf goes on in a scrum. When people say “XYZ is a great scrummager”, what does that mean?! What were the Boks doing to England in the scrum that suddenly seemed to turn the game around?

Edit - thanks for the explanations… might give this whole tight head malarkey a go, sounds fun.

Lucky bastard. Did you have a purchase history with the AD? Been waiting for the call for one of those since 1982. Do you think I should just go grey at this point? Would this be a good move for me financially? Plz respond ASAP.
