Gradually winding down on here - site is increasingly unusable. Transitioning to the other place with the same address. Trying to follow as many as possible from here before going
Such a shame he has to retire, one of my absolute favourite bowling spells here; struggling to think of many better performances in recent memory

I cannot believe this. NZ were 15 to one. They have done it again. This entire team should move to India.
Their first 3-0 in a three-Test series. Against a team that hadn't lost in 18 series.
What the hell were we watching here.

Very well written account of how an excess of caution can contribute to absolutely pointless emergency episodes. Thank you. @acutemedicine
Much more advance care planning is required.

Outrageous that you can get Durham at 23/1 - I doubt they'll topple Surrey but they've strengthened a squad that demolished Div 2 last year
Best ever R1 on #NephMadness - clearly having a UK contingent on the Blue Ribbon Panel has helped @jfnephlolz - surprised about Rapid Correction in Hyponatremia which I thought had the momentum with all the recent large observational studies #effluenteight

Happy New KDIGO CKD Guideline Day
KDIGO is pleased to announce the publication of the 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Download the guideline: kdigo.co/2024-CKD-Guideline
Read the guideline in Kidney International: kdigo.co/CKD-Guideline-KI
The KDIGO 2024 CKD Guideline was co-chaired by @adeeralevin and @KidneysRU. The Executive Summary will be published in the April 2024 issue of @Kidney_Int.
“We are thrilled to publish this eagerly anticipated update, which comes during a transformative period in nephrology, offering new hope for people living with kidney disease," said Dr. Levin. “Recent advancements in GFR evaluation, risk prediction, and the arrival of novel treatments are poised to enhance CKD prognosis and management. We also hope the guideline’s emphasis on multidisciplinary teamwork, patient engagement, and a holistic, evidence-based approach to care will help catalyze positive change, resulting in more coordinated CKD care management worldwide. By integrating the latest evidence and expert consensus, we aim to empower healthcare professionals, and patients with actionable recommendations to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.”
“As Co-Chairs, we would like to recognize the outstanding efforts of the Guideline Work Group and extend our thanks to the Evidence Review Team from Johns Hopkins, without whom this guideline would not have been possible," said Dr. Stevens. "The Work Group was diverse, multinational, highly experienced, and exceptionally committed, and we are grateful for their contributions to both this guideline and to global nephrology.”

Doctors pay dispute is only one, though totemic & overwhelming, of many serious issues affecting working conditions & unattractiveness of the NHS to doctors.
Once started listing issues to express problems doctors face:
XVI Theses on UK Postgraduate Doctors’ Discontent😬
Just had my rota through for the next 8 months. Despite me giving over one year's notice, they have rostered me to work 9AM-9PM on the weekend of my wedding 🙃
Medical staffing/rota coordination is a thankless job and has been woefully understaffed/unresponsive at most trusts where I've worked. @SWBHnhs is the only exception
