The NHS needs to embrace robots and artificial intelligence
After months of our UK column warning our audience about the direction the NHS was heading in, it has now been officially announced that robots are the way forward. Who will you trust to your surgery? A human team or a robot? With staff shortages and industrial action, it seems there is no other way. Recent Posts On Sky NewsTom Akers reported:
While some NHS trusts are installing cutting-edge surgical robots, others are trialling more novel solutions, such as using androids to transport medicines, and surgeons say the health service needs to fully embrace robotics and AI to be future-proof.
The article further states:
Professor Naeem Soomro, a councillor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, told Sky News that the “enormous demand” for healthcare can only be met through technology, especially as the NHS faces staff shortages. “It can't just be about adding more people,” he said. The biggest problem we face right now is access to healthcare, and robotics, data and artificial intelligence can help the NHS meet these challenges.
New coronavirus moves fast through the UK
In a final attempt to get us all to get the jab for the NHS. Reports There is a new variant of the COVID-19 virus. The variant is EG.51, which is related to Omicron, which (as mentioned above) is an anagram of “moronic.” Another name for it is Eris, which means “fool” in Greek. 'Conflict'. Of course, the UK Health Security Agency (spies to me) are watching this closely and are already running scare mongering articles.
World Health Organization They began tracking Ellis two weeks ago and are now warning people to wear masks in crowded places, get a booster shot if recommended and ensure good ventilation indoors. New air sensor It can detect coronavirus in a room within five minutes. It's a remarkable story.
Long Covid Office
On the topic of coronavirus, the US President Office Long COVID Research and Practice“Estimates” put up to 23 million people in the U.S. with long covid. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are announcing more clinical trials and they seem excited about their $1.15 billion national research program.Recover' is a study to understand how to treat and prevent long-covid. Can I suggest to the person in charge of the study to ask long-covid patients if they have received a corona shot? In addition, Pfizer's Paxrovid Will it help their symptoms in any way? I think a lot of the people taking part in the trials will have injuries from the vaccine. How long will it be before we see something similar in the UK?
By 2040, one in five adults will be living with a serious illness
In terms of overall health, we were in much better health before the pandemic and the massive program of injecting people with untested, unsafe, experimental shots. But now, Health Foundation Real Center At the University of Liverpool, 9 million people, or one in five 'Selection subjects' By 2040These diseases include cancer (I thought a miracle cancer vaccine was going to eradicate cancer soon?), diabetes (I thought that was going to be eradicated too?), dementia (I read that was going to be eradicated too?), kidney disease, and more. But don't worry, the UK government has a plan. It's called ” Key Condition StrategiesThe question is whether there will be people left who will have to endure “serious illnesses” by 2040.
Healthcare workers who pick their noses are at higher risk of contracting coronavirus
Wow, what will you come up with next? Seriously, Netherlands There is nothing for health care workers to do other than ask if you are picking your nose. investigation85% admitted to doing it, but did the other 15% say it? Porkie PieCockney rhyming slang for “lie.” Do we really need a team of scientists to tell us the obvious fact that picking your nose in a sterile or clean area, in the presence of a susceptible patient, is unhygienic? Or has common sense completely disappeared? Really, who hasn't picked their nose, with or without a tissue? Really?
Organ Donation
I was shocked when I read this story Life Site An Ontario woman was asked to donate her husband's organs after he was denied a transplant because he hadn't been vaccinated. Apparently, he wasn't the only one. Don't Organs are taken from dead people. Organs are removed from living people. Heart and lung donors are taken to the operating room for removal and then disconnected from life support. Imagine what would happen if this man was denied the same choice simply because he refused an experimental injection, but his wife was asked to donate her organs.
Cancer drugs
Killing molecules all A new treatment has been developed that is said to be the “Holy Grail” and kills solid tumors while sparing unaffected cells. Anticancer drugs Planning ahead! Oh, now that I think of it, the Holy Grail was connected to Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos' innovative cancer testing company. Holy GrailI don't believe in coincidences. This pill is still being tested on animals, but is starting to be used in humans. (Note: “animal” and “human” are used at the same time.) I'm wondering how quickly this pill will be available in pharmacies. 100 daysperhaps.
Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo to replace Fauci
The National Institutes of Health has been deliberating over who should replace Dr. Anthony Fauci as the U.S. government's top infectious disease expert since he stepped down. Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo Dr. Marrazzo has been announced as the new director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Is it inappropriate to note that Dr. Marrazzo is openly gay and wonder if that was the deciding factor — that inclusivity took precedence over competency? She specializes in sexually transmitted diseases and HIV prevention, and holds the nation's highest honor. American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association Outstanding Career AwardDr. Marrazzo will be recognized for his contributions to research and education and will oversee NIAID's substantial budget of $6.3 billion.
General practitioners putting patient safety at risk
Can you believe it? It didn't take long for those in power to victimise British GPs. Who is to blame for the heavy workload they face? strike It's almost inevitable that this will happen, nothing is impossible. Apparently, this idea has already been floated. British Medical AssociationGPs should not be contracted with more than 25 patients a day. However, a 2021 survey found that GPs see an average of 37 patients a day, with one in 10 GPs Over 60With 977 fewer full-time GPs than in December 2019 and over 5 million more monthly appointments, it's clear that demand is outstripping supply. 83% of patients are seen within two weeks. Is it because I'm getting older and my memory is fading, or is it because in the old days appointments were always available on the same day or at least the next day? Two weeks seems an incredibly long time to speak to a doctor, and perhaps that's the intention to put most people off. Many patients have to wait up to four weeks. There is high sickness rate among GPs, many of whom suffer from “burnout” or Mental illnessThe situation is not likely to improve anytime soon. What will the government come up with to fill this huge hole in primary care? I imagine that young people who have studied at university for a year will work as trainees in our clinics. Would you feel comfortable having a trainee look at your health or would you rather rely on a doctor? artificial intelligence How to diagnose and treat?
Sick leave certificates replaced by life coaches
No more sick leave pay. With over 2.55 million Britons on long-term sick leave, the challenge of getting people back to work is Life CoachNowadays, people who are diagnosed as unfit for work are issued with a “medical certificate” (in my time it was a sick certificate) if they are absent from work for more than a week. There is also the option for doctors and other medical professionals to issue fewer “medical certificates” and encourage and motivate more people to return to work. But who are these life coaches, where do they come from and who trained them in “life”? Or are they just another version of an employment agency employee? Are life coaches the same as job coaches?
Eurostar, Biometric Corridor
Thinking of traveling to mainland Europe on Eurostar? You may already have your ticket booked. Biometric Corridor How to skip the queue? Apparently passengers hate being stopped, delayed or asked for documentation. So to eliminate this frustration, the first biometric passageway has been opened at Eurostar's London terminus at St. Pancras International station. Once travellers download an app that scans their face to verify their identity, they can instantly be escorted through a dedicated lane, skipping gates and border controls. Convenience or surveillance? No need to answer, as you already know the answer. Looks like we won't be travelling anywhere anytime soon!
Forked
No, I'm not being rude. This is HeadingIt's all in the news in New York City: If you're planning on getting takeout, please bring your own utensils, ketchup, and napkins from now on. 'skip The Staffall of the above are prohibited from being served in restaurants. Grapevine If the tomato harvest is poor, there will likely be a shortage of tomato ketchup and pasta sauce, so if you can't live without ketchup, it's a good idea to stock up.
Is it a bear or a human?
We can't tell: is it a bear with a saggy bottom or a man in a suit? There's been a lot of debate over the identity of a bear at Hangzhou Zoo in China. Malayan Sun Bear Apparently she is very “human-like” and can stand up like a human. But what do you think? Is Angela a bear or a human? One thing is for sure: the zoo denies it's human and is making a ton of money from the thousands of people who flock to see for themselves.
And finally
Are you enjoying a rainy British summer? Here in Cornwall, umbrellas and wellies are more prevalent than sun hats and flip flops. This year, festival-goers' wallets have become much lighter as ticket prices for live bands and concerts have skyrocketed. With ticket prices now ranging from £150 to over £1,000, there's a new solution: why not listen to a concert without watching it? Beyoncé We offer cheaper options. Finally, regular readers know that I follow earthquakes and YouTubers. Dutch I made an interesting observation this week. An anagram of “climate change” is “chemicals.” Some food for thought. I've been getting a few messages asking about book suggestions. This week, of The Sixth Extinction By Elizabeth Kolbert. Until next week, safe travels. Don't be scared, be prepared.
God bless, Debi
