I now love VAR 😂

Fuck I didn’t even see that. Ouch.

Played on ps5, crashed every few hours more than any other game I’ve played but no other bugs. I loved it but I think a lot of the backlash is that there are so many glaring omissions or simply unfinished parts. It’s unforgivably short in the main campaign, the life paths are essentially meaningless, the loot is crap and there aren’t many different ways to complete things depending on your build. Stealth or guns blazing is about it. It is NOTHING like was advertised and it’s clear it was released a year or two early. That said I enjoyed it but I was expecting the level of polish you get in the intro throughout the game but it dropped off after the heist.

Charged apparently according to the news, not accused. Big difference.

Lol beat me to it.

My theory is the flat earth bullshit was peddled deliberately to see how easy people were to manipulate. No one seriously believed the earth was flat until they saw it as a group they could join to “prove” how clever and illuminated they were. Once people saw that people online will literally fall for anything it’s easy to then weaponise the propaganda into something more harmful, as we are seeing now. Facebook is literally destroying civil society and no one will do anything about it.

Why this is a one off and hardly any more chases is so annoying. With such effort into the city why can’t we have decent car chases. There is not point to driving other than to look at things. It’s not a gameplay mechanic. You could fast travel everywhere and not need a car.

Meh I don’t like it. If it’s so close like this or the multitude of other stupid decisions then it should be advantage attacker as was.

“An accident”.

It’s because affluent countries have never seen vaccine preventable diseases sweep through their populations for well over a generation. Memories are short. Poor countries trust vaccines as they see the horrors of measles, polio etc regularly. Rich nations simply think it won’t happen to them so why bother. That and a continuation of the cyber psy op disinformation war we are all living in currently!!

😂

A ten minute GP appointment consists of me reviewing the notes to learn about their history, calling them into the room, taking a history, am examining, diagnosing, making a plan, ensuring the plan is understood, prescribing, ordering tests and then writing it all down. 10 minutes. 15 to 20 times, twice a day. With all the results of the tests you ordered, meetings, urgent jobs coming in. People think we just sit in our offices and have nice chats with people. I work between Gp and hospitals and GP is far more intense in work load. Yeah there aren’t night shifts but a GP day is 8am to 6pm easily.

You’ll not get much in a decent part of Newcastle for that price.

There is always the risk but usually 90% of diagnosis is in the history. The rest in examination and tests. Technology helps, video appointments, texting in photographs that sort of thing. You have to live with uncertainty as a doctor of any kind so it doesn’t bother me too much. A good history and safety netting (telling someone what to do if things change) is key to safe telephone working. I’ve diagnosed rare diseases correctly over the phone and caught cancers also. Is it perfect? Not at all but it’s still developing. We can see a LOT more people this way and that’s the main thing people complain about. Though some moron is arguing with me how to do my job so I guess everyone knows better than the GP. Only a year ago they were clapping, now they want our heads because we’re trying to help. GP is one of the hardest hit specialities by the pandemic and I know colleagues who work 15 hour days setting up vaccine programmes seeing patients etc. It’s just very demoralising to get hammered when all we’re trying to do is help. If people don’t like it don’t vote fucking Tory. But brexit and floppy haired politicians “you could have a pint with” are more important to the electorate than a functioning NHS it seems.

What’s your experience of working in medicine? Telephone triage and telephone appointments are a thing and have been for years. You won’t admit that we either see more people and maybe make some mistakes and sadly some people may die and or see fewer people and have them die by late presentation. People will always die. There is a never ending supply of patients. There aren’t enough doctors. There is an infinite problem with a finite resource.

Hypothetically I could have 100 phone calls and miss 1 diagnosis that led to a death. Or I could have 50 face to face appointments and not miss anything. However that’s 50 more people not seen who may go on to develop a disease that kills them.

There are 4 key principles to biomedical ethics - autonomy (people can make their own decisions), justice (treating people and the population fairly), beneficence (doing good) and non-maleficence (not doing harm). This falls largely into 1 and 4. Being fair to the whole population while trying to not harm anyone. I really cannot explain how complicated this is and your hand waving easy answers are annoying as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

And you’ve still never provided any evidence for your claims people are dying because of it. Anyway I can’t be arsed as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and I’ve tried to explain it to you.

If it was as simple as let people see a doctor when they want then there would be no problem. Apologies for the sarcasm but I’m not sure I understand what points you are trying to make. There are not enough doctors full stop to run a world class health service befitting of a nation as rich as ours.

You started off suggesting it’s GPS fault for people dying because they are seeing patients (when we are, just triaging ones that don’t need to be seen). In case you aren’t a troll I’ll explain some things.

1) at the height of the covid pandemic telephone triage was way safer for staff AND patients. No full waiting rooms of people coughing all over each other. Self explanatory.

2) many practices realised they could have far more appointments forpatients this way and a hybrid model was made - GPS would phone patients up and if they could deal with the problem over the phone (simple illnesses with no “red flag” symptoms) then they would do that. If not they would bring the patient to examine them. People seem to like this where I work as it’s easier to have a contact with a doctor than it was before.

3) people who were out clapping for the NHS a year ago are now demonising doctors because they can’t see one face to face. This is despite there now being more appointments and people who need to be seen are being seen.

4) I return you to my point above. If we have more appointments there will be more mistakes and more deaths, simple maths. If we have fewer appointments but they are face to face there may be fewer errors in diagnosis (again waiting for evidence on this) but there will be people who will die anyway because they didn’t get an appointment in time.

5) this is not simply as “I want to see doctor now” situation. Not to be patronising but if you are not a doctor you do not have a clue of the multitudes of nuances there are to practicing medicine and your simple solution of “let people see a doctor if they want it used to be like that” comes across as childishly naive at best or hopelessly, almost maliciously stupid at worst.

6) a good GP of which there are many thousands in this country can safely practice medicine over the telephone. We are trained in it before the pandemic. It’s different and it’s hella boring and the job satisfaction is much worse but it’s safe to use in an emergency. There are bad GPS much as there are people who are bad at all kinds of jobs and I am sure there will be some increase in morbidity and mortality due to the pandemic that is not directly attributable to covid. And some of that will be from missed diagnoses on the telephone. But it would be a drop in the ocean compared to having continued without making changes. This is an awful situation and everyone is trying to prevent loss of life but there is going to be some and we can’t do anything about that. If you think that doctors, GPS in particular have had an easy ride or are refusing to see patients for a laugh then you, my friend, are a moron.

Brilliant. Why didn’t I think of that!! Please can you put that or writing to NHS England. I think you’ve cracked it!

I presume this is true as people die of misdiagnosis all the time (it’s an unfortunate but common problem in medicine that we are always trying to improve, but do you have any non Facebook evidence for this I could read as I’m interested in it to increase our weight when asking for more staff/funding?

People have also died because of waiting lists, covid shut downs etc. Have you got a solution? By doing telephone triage I can actually deal with more patients and create more appointments which is what the majority of people complain about not even being able to speak to a doctor. So I can see fewer people face to face and some will die because they never saw me or it took forever to get an appointment, or I can deal with more people through telephone triage and some will die because of misdiagnosis. Terrible business going to the doctor - you usually come back sick. Which is better - seeing more people and misdiagnosing some and they die or seeing fewer and some die because of late diagnosis? That’s the choice, please tell me how I should make it?

What do you want? Unless you have a brilliant solution that no one in the NHS has yet thought of then maybe stop trying to guilt trip people over deaths that are no ones fault but fucking 10 years of Tory austerity and a crumbling society. There simply aren’t enough doctors, and frankly the conditions are better in other countries for doctors so we are losing a lot. That is entirely governmental policy to blame, not the GP on his 50th patient contact of the day, exhausted as there is a literally never ending demand for their time as all other “non essential” services are drying up.

If you still think doctors are to blame then there’s nothing more I can say really.

I’m not a copper - just saw this pop up on my feed. Can you please make being a twat illegal ASAP please thank you.

If this person walked into a doctors office and said this it would classify as delusional thinking, a symptom of psychotic illness. She’s not even that extreme compared to some of it. Replace a few words with “lizard people” or some such and it sounds like the ramblings of a schizophrenic. At what point do we have to start treating people WHO ARE NOT IN TOUCH WITH REALITY as mentally ill? The lunatics are taking over the asylum. Also, This woman should not be raising children - she would not seek healthcare if they were sick and they are at risk of neglect. I would be referring her to social services and depending on how she reacted to questions she should probably see a therapist or psychiatrist.

I’m a doctor. I have 40 calls a day and convert the ones I think need to see me to face to face. Usually about 10. I do that 4 days a week (and study one day a week) as do the 10 or so colleagues I work with currently. At no point have I heard of a GP practice denying face to Face if clinically necessary. GP services are stretched to the bone. Half my work is social or mental health crisis caused by a crumbling social system and social contract. The government doesn’t look after us anymore. We don’t look after our neighbours or families any more. I’m sorry you are frustrated. I wish there was an answer but we are working our arses off. I’m at higher risk of covid but still see patients face to face. Seeing the constant vilification is going to become a self fulfilling prophecy. Either private health care or just a failed service completely ala India in the worst covid period. You cannot have a press and public hate the people who are trying to look after them. The tories and the media are skirting very close to disaster and that anti vaccine lunatic calling for Nuremberg trials for doctors and nurses and with no consequence doesn’t help either. Appreciate what the nhs does before it’s gone. Could it be better? Yes. Is it the staffs fault? Mostly not.

If you are going to Africa then expect ANY small violation you make to be exploited for a bribe. A policeman in Zanzibar flagged my down when I was Driving. I pulled over next to him and he told me I would go to jail for pulling over on the wrong side of the road (the one he indicated) then demanded 20 thousand US dollars. I gave him the equivalent of 5 usd and he let me go.

No shade on you OP but I hate that they sell food on that app that they could give away to people who need it but can’t cos of the law. “Buy something we otherwise will throw away while the guy sat outside in the cold can’t have it”.

Not getting Messi, Grealish, Mbappe and Bionic Pele

Why should they have to quit? Maybe they live nearby. Maybe they like the job. Guck it - maybe no one should put up with being bullied. Quitting because you are bullied is probably constructive dismissal and not on. Attitudes like that are why things take forever to change.
