Evidence, please? Evidence, please? Oh, that's your evidence. Maybe you'd like to do a little reading before assuming an appeal to common...
I'm a northerner. With Irish influences. :D
I think there is. In my local idiom it would be "shit-science" instead of "crap science". And "no fucker had any idea". :whistle:
I don't think so, unless there are some that share a site and/or staff with a general hospital. Hospices often receive some public funding via...
I think it's done somewhere partitioned off from intellect. None of us would learn to walk or speak if we had to think through each stage of the...
It didn't ought to need saying, but it appears from the inquest so far that doctors give due weight to the question "What are the risks if I do...
You're right, there is something in that. But the opposite's also true—you have to disengage most of your thinking brain when you're playing,...
Thank you so much for your efforts, @Nightsong. It's hugely appreciated by those of us who can't follow live.
Yes, I think that's crucial. Tolerance depends on energy, and emotion burns through so much more of it. I find it hard to explain why playing...
Reading this makes me wonder why, if doctors are capable of understanding that very sick patients are unable to tolerate light and sound, the...
Hospital doctors worry about it because aspiration pneumonia's a risk in very unwell people. It's not always connected to feeding, but the fact...

Me too, and on a good day I'm fine with live music, football crowds, etc. You can just leave when you've run out of capacity to cope, but not in a...
The word beds does usually mean the whole package. It's a shorthand for provision—staffing, clinical expertise, equipment, facilities—and although...
I think it may also be true when comparing ME sensory sensitivity to autistic sensory issues. I was thinking about it at an event last night,...
This is their article from yesterday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2q03ppzzz0o
Yep. It's such a horrifying story that journalists would likely have been picked up on it anyway, but Sean O'Neill's a colleague and his paper's a...
Thing is, people made bad calls, or are crap at their jobs, or are biased, or are stymied by poor management practices, structural issues, or lack...
Gross negligence isn't always criminal, so I'm not sure. I'd be a bit surprised if there were strong enough evidence of criminal intent to bring...
Quite often with cases like this it's an open or narrative verdict. The coroner can also make a Prevention of Future Deaths report if s/he...
