Mind The Bleep

DECEMBER 27, 2024

Im currently in my third year of working in a rural district general hospital Accident and Emergency Department, and one of the things that has struck me most is the use of pre-hospital medicine. Being in an area where it can take an hour and a half to get to the us, as the nearest trauma unit, really puts into perspective the need to have people trained to a level where they can provide immediate aid to people within the Golden Hour.

During my years in medicine, I’ve been privileged to give advice to undergrads, medical students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty as they consider future positions. I have heard myself dispense two pieces of pith again and again: “At some point, you’ll stop going to the ‘best place’ you get into. You just have to decide if this is that point.” “Ten years from now, the program you end up at will seem like it was destined to be your program.”

The WHO repeatedly failed during the covid pandemic. Moreover, these errors are not just in retrospect, there were specific scientific studies that they could have coordinated that they chose not to.
