Does HEMS respond where it's needed most? Just published @SJTREM
Pre-hospital critical care saves lives & the most deprived are more likely to have critical illness or injury. But the Inverse Care Law says resource is often distributed inversely to need.

Suicidology
Predicting Suicide Death
A recent study looking at >2M Americans presenting to ERs with MH concern shows the difficulty of "predicting suicide" - we can't predict suicide to help guide important clinical decisions.
The problem: Sensitivity vs PPV

I don’t think I, or anyone else working in UK Emergency Departments, recognise this as the cause of 12 hour bed waits.
Nick Fletcher(Tory MP): "We are turning parts of our community into a ghetto... you have a 12 hour waiting list at A&E, & the reason why the waiting list is so long, is because people don't speak English in these places anymore..."

Having done a bunch of studies in this space, here is all we know about balanced crystalloids vs. saline in critical illness in one tweet:
If you have a traumatic brain injury give saline; otherwise give a balanced crystalloid.
The end.
