All Bleeding Stops Eventually: A Lenny Moss Mystery

Product Information

From 10 July, Radio 4 will interrogate the current challenges facing the NHS and consider suggested solutions with four-part documentary series The NHS: Who Cares? presented by Kevin Fong. The series will bust myths as it takes a hard look at the realities of the modern day complexities of providing healthcare fit for 21st century Britain. In Al Smith's two part drama, All Bleeding Stops Eventually, the NHS is examined from the viewpoint of a doctor who becomes a patient. Narrated by Lucy Worsley, Florence Nightingale: Nursing Pioneer follows the life of an extraordinary woman who revolutionised modern nursing and whose legacy continues to benefit million. Comedian and broadcaster Dr Phil Hammond's How I Ruined Medicine draws on his own experiences to ask if his investigations into medical malpractice have done more harm than good for healthcare overall.

Yet I was the only surgeon in a small town. There was no one to call. I would have to call an ambulance for transport to a bigger facility. Then there are the negative implications, the inevitable: the patient becomes volume depleted, exsanguinates, and the bleeding eventually stops. Rhythm is key. Use as many sounds and cadences as possible. Think of dialogue as a form of percussive music. You can vary the speed of the language, the number of beats per line, volume, density. You can use silences, fragments, elongated sentences, interruptions, overlapping conversation, physical activity, monologues, nonsense, non-sequiturs, foreign languages. Keep your chops up with constant questioning of your own work. React against your work. Be hypercritical. Do in the next work what you aimed for but failed to do in the last one.

Success! You have been added to my mailing list.

I abandoned any pretense of saving the patient. He was clearly still alive if not conscious. What else but his beating heart would be causing the blood to continue to pump? I only wanted to leave and call in reinforcements, maybe an exorcist or shaman. Florence Nightingale was an activist, a social reformer, a statistician, and a bold nurse who defied stifling British conventions to change history. An indisputable pioneer, Nightingale died in 1910 aged of 90, leaving behind an inspirational legacy that benefits everyone’s medical care today. Presented by comedian, actor, musician and author Bill Bailey, Extraordinary Portraits will pay tribute to NHS heroes, marking the 75th Anniversary of the NHS with a series of specially commissioned and inspiring portraits. This six-part series explores the art of portrait making, as Bill - a keen art lover - pairs up some of the most inspiring NHS staff with leading British artists. We discover the stories of compassionate doctors, inspiring nurses, dedicated porters, passionate paramedics and cleaners who go above and beyond to help the people they care for. Their work, lives and personalities are captured for posterity in a new collection of compelling portraits. CBBC Even professionals fumble and make mistakes, or freeze entirely, especially the first time they do something in the field. This is why medical training consists of repeated simulation practice and then graduated, supervised, practice in real life. Further, it’s worth noting a lot of physicians and medical professionals are spectacularly bad at skills they rarely or never use in their practice. A dermatologist, despite his MD, is not going to necessarily be any better at using a tourniquet than a janitor who went through a stop the bleed seminar. A veteran nurse who works in a pediatrician’s office is not necessarily going to be any better at CPR than one of the college students I trained this fall. Steve Rogoff is a family physician and author who lives in Kauai with his wife and 3 children. Raised in Los Angeles and graduated with honors from Berkeley, he began writing more intensely while living in South America during a gap year between medical studies at UC San Diego. It was there he found his voice, writing two collections of short stories, Colors and Shadows and the unpublished Dark Side of the Light, as well as his first novel, Nazca.

The criticism of these programs is always the same. That training like this ‘is turning our schools into war zones’, that this is ‘normalizing mass shootings’, or that this will somehow preclude whatever your preferred action on gun control is because we’ve ‘accepted mass shootings as part of life.’ Frankly, I don’t understand this view. When I say I don’t understand, I mean I have difficulty comprehending how any adult can seriously hold this view. But it’s clear that that is more about the limits of my own imagination or capacity for empathy since many serious people do seem to genuinely hold that view, so let me explain myself. You probably dropped by to see if I was going to be funny. And I'm going to disappoint you on that front. Instead, I'm going to share the thoughts of Jose Rivera ( Cloud Tectonics, Marisol, References to Salvidor Dali Make Me Hot, et al) on playwriting, a subject near and dear to my heart (not to mention my master's degree and my student loans). These are some of the most compelling thoughts about the subject I've ever read. And while it's long and probably not a topic you give a flip about ... read it anyway. It's provocative, and I promise you'll find something to think about. On 5 July, the NHS will celebrate its 75th anniversary. To coincide, a special series of programming across the BBC spanning BBC Radio 4, BBC News and Radio 5 Live will take the temperature of the national health service to consider what the future might look like for the NHS’s huge workforce and the patients who rely on it.Each line of dialogue is like a piece of DNA; potentially containing the entire play and its thesis; potentially telling us the beginning, middle, and end of the play. An ER doctor I followed around on my emergency medicine rotation would walk past the room of a screaming child or patient and often remark, “Welp, A and B are working.” Ideas may be deeply embedded in the interactions and reactions of your character; they may be in the music and poetry of your form. You have thoughts and you generate ideas constantly. A play ought to embody those thoughts and those thoughts can serve as a unifying energy in your play.

For BBC Radio 4, coverage will begin with Dr Kevin Fong and Isabel Hardman in a special episode of Start the Week alongside GP Phil Whitaker and the historian Andrew Seaton. Also that week, a one-off documentary The NHS at 75: Covid Memories will reflect on the pandemic through the experience of health service staff. I’ve just got a bleeder in here somewhere that I need to stop. These things happen sometimes. No need to worry.” Which leads me to another of my favorite old medical phrases: Tincture of Time. A tincture, for those of you who are not pharmacists in the 1910’s, is a concentrated liquid herbal extract, made from soaking plants with assumed medical properties in alcohol. So, Tincture of Time is the “medicine” of just waiting for a patient to heal themselves. Sometimes, that’s the best thing to do. Or the only thing to do. If you’ve already tried all the actual medicines. Live is giving over 11 hours of output to their audience - to tell us about their experiences of the NHS - good, bad and future concerns.Don't be afraid to attempt great themes: death, war, sexuality, identity, fate, God, existence, politics, love.
