PPE in French hospitals

Yes but this is Barrie !

I enjoyed PM questions yesterday. At last the government is having to answer difficult questions. I do suspect though the task will become somewhat more difficult when ‘Pinnochio’ Johnson returns. At least the Labour bench now has a professional inquisitor - a formidable opponent who will seek out the truth and take no prisoners when the inevitable BS flows from Boris’ mouth.

PMQs is now blissfully free of the baying & barracking of backbenchers so in the courtroom like silence Keir Starmer’s forensic dissection of government incompetence should be very effective compared to BoJo’s bollocks & bluster.

I didn’t see PMQs but I would think poor Kier was thinking “Christ, it’s no contest. It’s like cross examining a dead parrot” facing Raab. His (Raab) only talent is being a thorough dipstick whilst managing at the same time to be fucking idiot!

As for PPE in French hospitals; having just spent 4 days in the company of French Doctors and Nurses I have nothing but admiration for them. Discharged today, I was even presented with my own mask but having read that the RAF went to Turkey to collect the UK order only to find it could not be fulfilled! Total incompetence. More bullshit from an incompetent bunch of total cretins!!
Gawd, am I glad to be in France at this critical time.

Glad to hear you have the new ignition system installed. Transistor or magneto ? Probably the turkish ppe came from the uk in the first place, bit ironic really. As an incompetant total cretin, i object to you raising the Westmister shit weasels to the same high level that i am on.

Na @Rocam you’re a good egg! Voisin pres de chez vous!

I would think transistor (didn’t see it before it was installed)
Fancy piece of kit eh?

Fitted just below the collar bone in the front of the left shoulder. A number of precautions in the first 3 months: no lifting the left arm for a month (so the probe in the left ventricle is not dislodged); no lifting; no driving for at least 3 months; must carry the card identification of the device at all times; identify the presence of the device at airport type security gates; don’t expose to the sun; no arc welding - as if lol; keep 2 metres away from induction hob; no battery tools.
So quite a lot to consider.
In 2017 the cost in USD was around $12,000

and once a year CT to get the timing checked :wink: Stay safe, maybe we can meet up after all this over.

Medtronic has received CE Mark for its Cobalt and Crome portfolio of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy-defibrillators (CRT-D). ICDs monitor heart rhythms and deliver therapy to correct heart rates that are too fast and can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. CRT-Ds, a treatment option for some individuals with heart failure, send small electrical impulses to the lower chambers of the heart to help them beat in more synchronised patterns and reduce patient symptoms.

Sounds like a good piece of kit. How is it powered?

Internal battery which should last 5 - 10 years.
I don’t thik its of the type suggested by @Mark in this post!
