Our study in @AnnalsofEM found when there is a consequence to the pain score recorded in the ED, staff may record what they think PS should be, not what patient says it is. This reduces validity of PS as a measure of change in pain severity. @RCollEM @painfreeED 1/2

I just have a couple of months left before my study closes and I would love to talks to a few more Nurses, Paramedics or GPs who work in primary care: if you think you could help you can contact me with this link: forms.office.com/e/sZ789x88BS.

Road crashes claim more than 2 lives every minute, killing nearly 1.2 million people every year.

If these deaths were caused by a virus, it would be called a pandemic and the world would scramble to develop a vaccine to prevent them.

Very important line here from @LouHaigh on road safety:

"We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."

Whenever I hear a new detail in the Gisele Pelicot case I’m further horrified.

Imagine thinking you’re in a loving marriage - and suddenly finding out your husband has been inviting men to assault you while you’re unconscious?

It only gets worse from there /1 🧵
