They're going to be quiet for the first few days to weeks until their senses start to come online properly, then the fun begins. Before that they're only going to cry when they're unhappy so if they're quiet it's good. Get all the sleep you can, when you can. The adrenaline lasts about a month or so and this is a marathon.

Lady Demelza posted:The problem with a 'failsafe' ID card is that routine interactions are focussed on establishing that somebody has the card, not on establishing their ID. At the moment people can muddle through with utility bills and bank cards as well as passports. With a specific ID Card, it'll end up as the sort of situation where if someone gets mugged, has their house burn down, or posts their ID off to get their details updated, and they suddenly can't do anything because they don't have the one magic card. Provisional driving licences aren't always accepted as ID, for reasons that nowhere has been able to articulate. Link your card to your biometrics and every time you use it to verify your identity you get your thumbprint scanned. Makes replacing them easy as well unless you've managed to burn off your prints.

He should have a biometric residence permit/BRP. If it says it's valid then it's valid unless the ex-wife has decided to gently caress him. if it's expired the either he applies for a renewal abroad or he gets deported at the border. Once you actually have a visa it's actually pretty clear cut what you are/aren't allowed to do.

Tesseraction posted:From the Graun: TB is notoriously difficult to culture even if you take samples from a living human. It takes 6 weeks and you might still get gently caress all. The more active the disease is, the more bacteria are present and the more likely you are to get a positive culture. Unfortunately TB has a habit of being walled off in little granulomas all over the place which do not make culture easy. The TB tests usually look for antibodies which is a lot easier than finding the organism.

learnincurve posted:May has diabetes that can send her into a coma, which in all fairness is worse than diabetes that does not, no matter what the label on it is, or how she got it. They can both send you into a coma for different reasons and they also both suck. Type I is massively more difficult to manage though since it involves insulin. If you feed the beast regularly and well there's no reason you should run into problems. But if you're prone to making bad decisions, having altered mental states or sometimes just flat out incapable of handling the maths then it's gonna suuuuuck. A HIV consultant once told me that if they had to have one or the other they would pick HIV every time. You're gonna be on drugs for the rest of your life either way but at least with HIV if you pop the pills every day you will be fine.

ThomasPaine posted:Let's cut the moralistic 'good/bad decisions' patter shall we. It's not a moralistic right/wrong, it's the reality of it as I am sure you're well aware. Some people can barely get the concept of a basal bolus, or that a reading of <4 on a fingerprick is bad. If you're smart enough to figure out how to manage your insulin between your weed, booze and cocaine hits then more power to you but not everyone has a PhD in diabetes. It's a minority of patients on a diabetes ward who have genuinely difficult to control disease. Most of the time its difficult circumstances.

ThomasPaine posted:To cut a very long story short, language matters here, and diabetes is a condition that is so constantly moralised that implicitly shifting 'blame' to individuals by talking about 'good/bad decisions' reinforces very toxic attitudes towards people living with it, whatever type. People decide to do what they will, often for very good reasons (because positive biomedical results are only one potential 'good' outcome), and this is often perfectly legitimate in their own subjective context. Saying that a decision is 'bad' is extremely reductionist and contribute towards exactly the kind of discourse around health that we really need to move past. Big parallels to deserving/undeserving poor etc. Maybe not "bad" but definitely suboptimal. There's a difference from bodily autonomy in making an informed choice about the management of your condition and simply not being able do it despite your best efforts because you can't grok the concept.

Juche Couture posted:(private companies are licking their lips at the thought of outsourcing for ‘waiting list reduction’, so it’s in their interests to make things worse). The private companies are also by and large drawing from the same staffing pool as the NHS - doctor wise especially so I doubt they're going to be able to make bank since their staff are going to get conscripted if things go to poo poo again. We should vaccinate everyone and anyone who is "voluntarily unvaccinated" should have that fact tattooed on their foreheads like the Nazis from Inglorious Basterds.

ThomasPaine posted:Yeah I really am disturbed by the number of usually decent people apparently quite happy to entirely throw the whole principle of informed consent out of the window. Informed consent doesn't mean what you think it does. As long as you make it clear the consequences of not having the vaccine - catching CoViD, dying, losing your job, the consent is entirely informed. There's nothing that says the risks and benefits of the proposed procedure have to be the slightest bit fair. You can discuss alternatives, but that's about it. No one is going to force you to have a jab but similarly nothing is going to stop you getting sacked if you don't find a great reason why you should be excused from having it. There's also a fair bit of anger on the frontlines about the "voluntarily unvaccinated" so I wouldn't be surprised if you get reported to your regulator by your colleagues if they find out.

Also I don't know why you would not want the vaccine if you're a patient facing staff. You're literally at highest risk of catching it. I mean I can sorta imagine some goony computer toucher that lives on SA and Deliveroo might judge their personal risk to be minimal, but most patient facing NHS staff get coughed on regularly even before covid. Borrovan posted:Imo there are strong arguments that medical ethics as it is understood & practiced places undue weight on the principle of informed consent, & vaccines are the best illustration of why. However, informed consent is essentially the fundamental axiom of medical ethics as it's currently understood & practiced, & the notion that Parliament can or should just legislate ethics away because it's convenient is pretty hosed. How would you even legislate away informed consent in this context though? You wouldn't be forcing them to have it, just threatening them with the sack/reassignment/etc if they don't. Considering for a fair few medical procedures the consequences discussed are "death or severe disability", getting the sack is pretty minor by comparison.

Pistol_Pete posted:It frustrates me that lockdown to relieve pressure on the NHS is even an option at this point, as though there's no other possible way of dealing with it. How about pumping more resources into the NHS? How about re-opening those Nightingale hospitals that were talked up so much in the early part of the pandemic? There were scary headlines circulating around earlier about how there might soon be 2,000 Covid patients being admitted into hospital each day. loving wow. 2,000 whole patients a day, in a rich country of 60+ million people, however would we cope. Seriously, why should this be an insurmountable problem for a country that has our sort of wealth? If the only response we have to another surge in cases is to shut our whole society down again, then something's gone seriously loving wrong. Unfortunately there are simply not enough staff in the NHS. It takes time even you poach people from abroad and good luck getting the Tories to sign off on letting a battalion of Filipino nurses and Indian doctors in. China could do what they did with their instant giant hospitals because they bussed in staff from the rest of the country. The best we can do short of lockdown now is to mandate Covid/vaccine passes before entry into any enclosed public space like what they do in Asia. Hell they could even feed the private grift machine by having it enforced by Serco bouncers.
