    Botched execution in the US

    No it's not, anaesthesia is complicated and peoples reactions to drugs are many and varied. The Americans should take it as a sign that they're backward and quit killing people.

    Defib in a box

    Because it is about when you call 999, in an unconscious, normally breathing person then you call 999 after they are in the recovery position (and then their airway is protected). No more circulation, in DRABC C can now mean compressions. From here

    Defib in a box

    :mad: All good until there Unless your regularly (i.e. multiple times per average working day) checking for carotid/other pulses then not breathing normally = get on the chest. I love the idea of AED's everywhere but I would hate to think of a lone responder leaving to retrieve one. Even...

    Employment law advice

    Get her to check her licence, if she got her licence after 97 she would need additional categories on her licence to drive it commercially, and I assume this would count as that. Her work is unlikely to pay for this and she can refuse on the basis that she doesn't have the correct licence. Have...

    Food trends of 2014 - your thoughts and predictions?

    I just want some good pubs that don't have a burger or steak on the menu, please be more inventive that sausage and mash and give me a decent salad for gods sake. If I want a crap burger or steak I can cook one at home and when half your menu is overcooked protein I want to kill myself.

    Michael Schumacher 'Hurt In Skiing Accident'

    This basically. In severe head trauma the initial few days to a week are very uncertain and with continued blooming of contusions means that medics have to give a grave picture and a massive rebleed is a possibility, though unlikely. It would appear that he has had an early decompressive...

    Just gave blood again, do you?

    Up to 14 donations now. Loving the new donor chairs, much more comfortable and saves me that awkward part where you used to have to sit up and swing your legs over whilst applying pressure to your arm. I partly donate as I use a heap at work and feel I should stick some in the pot, the recent...

    French restaurants in London

    Zedel is good, they keep some walk in tables so you may get lucky. The dining room is beautiful, the service is slick and as you alluded to the pricing is excellent. The food I think is a little hit and miss, I have had excellent fish there but their choucroute is a poor example when compared to...

    Your work uniform

    A butcher, heavens no. Same as below. Here here, I despise nurses travelling in uniform, every trust I have ever worked for has specific policies against it. Everyone should wear scrubs, nursing uniforms are outdated and unfit for purpose, blokes with epaulettes are a military hangover that...

    Your work uniform

    Dark blue scrubs, black crocs, assorted bodily fluids (optional). We can wear whatever shoes we want, crocs, MBT trainers and birkenstocks are the usual. Hair above collar level, change at work, no jewellery except a plain wedding band and a single pair of stud earrings are the main rules. Baggy...

    When in London...

    Claridges Bar or the The Connaught Bar are a wander away, Claridges is my go to bar for a 'nice' drink, perfect service and a great atmosphere. Galvin at Windows Bar, Artesian at the Langham are a short walk but would be good options. The Zetter Townhouse, Marks Bar, Paramount, or Dukes...

    Sansaire sous vide circulator

    Yes but I think they will reach the stretch goal in 24-48hrs at the rate they are going so I wouldn't worry about it. Looks like a great product for less that £150 is quite good going. I await the Jamie Oliver version with my head in my hands.
