@C7RKY@DrGrumble that's why we need help! :) -
@doctorcaldwell@C7RKY I tell people they're dying and I'm going to keep them comfortable. Do I need to spell out that means no CPR? -
@DrGrumble@C7RKY sadly now yes. I too did like you right up to 5pm Friday when I found a new madness had erupted!

@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell Until relatively recently many took the view that a treatment not warranted need not be discussed. (One judge agreed) -
@DrGrumble@doctorcaldwell Sure, but I was referring specifically to how docs are trained to deliver bad news to pts. The 'scripting' side. -
@C7RKY@DrGrumble that is well covered + when I listen to my Juniors most are stunningly good communicators. Far better than I at same stage -
@doctorcaldwell@DrGrumble So have any of them got their heads together to work out the best ways to deliver this new CPR disclosure yet? -
@C7RKY@DrGrumble no hence all this torrent of Tweeting! -
@doctorcaldwell@DrGrumble Sounds to me like somebody, somewhere, ought to be calling a meeting. Pronto... :) -
@C7RKY@DrGrumble let's lock those 3 judges & the presidents of the royal colleges in a room with no breaks coffee or food&see what happens! -
@doctorcaldwell@C7RKY It was an unfortunate case because it would seem the patient didn't actually want to discuss the issue anyway. - 7 more replies
