I think he needs lederhosen to complete the look.
I think he needs lederhosen to complete the look.I'm surprised everyone is talking about the trivial issues when the real elephant in the room is this:
I thought HFW looked great with the tash. I'm heterosexual most days of the week but I found myself having unshakeable thoughts of sitting on his knee while he fed me Werther's Originals.
My first thought was 'HFW must have Dutch ancestors'. Don't ask!
Is there a diabetic ward or are diabetics just treated on normal wards but highlighted as diabetic?True but they probably make up the vast majority of diabetics in there that are there for diabetes related reasons.
I do and I am sophisticated enough to admit it! He and his pals make my run up to Christmas very jolly each year.I see that now that you say it. For some reason the look made me think 'Australia' at first, but I think I've worked out that's because of Kiosk Keith. I expect most people here are far too sophisticated to even know who Kiosk Keith is, and even if they do, they won't admit it.
I know who Kiosk Keith is and quite willing to admit it! Love the show!I see that now that you say it.

Amputations for example?
Sepsis causes amputations too and injuries cause amputations, not just diabetes.
Is 1 out of 6 patients diabetic, having amputations?
or not. 16.5% of beds are (allegedly) occupied by diabetics, of whatever type. It does not then follow that those beds are being occupied for diabetic related conditions.no I'm not saying that. 6% of the population has diabetes of one kind or another, yet 16-17% of beds are occupied by that 6% for one reason or another - I guess you could assume that the other extra 10% would be there for purely diabetes related reasons?
I assume you subtracted the 6% who are diabetic from the 16% occupying beds. However, that is nonsense mathematically and statistically.I guess you could assume that the other extra 10% would be there for purely diabetes related reasons?
40% of NHS hospital admissions are for those over 65 and the number of people with type 2 increases with age so that would explain to some extent the number of beds occupied by diabetics. It doesn't help with knowing how many admissions are directly due to diabetes however.or not. 16.5% of beds are (allegedly) occupied by diabetics, of whatever type. It does not then follow that those beds are being occupied for diabetic related conditions.
and I am not sure about this bit being mathematically correct:
I assume you subtracted the 6% who are diabetic from the 16% occupying beds. However, that is nonsense mathematically and statistically.
Of the 16.5% you mention, 100% of them are (allegedly) diabetic, so where does the idea that 10% of those are there for diabetic related conditions? The cause of the diabetics occupying the beds is an unknown factor. We cannot extrapolate a figure for the ones having diabetic complications from the information given.
That's so me lolI usually get the knife stuck halfway through and end up waving it around lice a medieval torture implement until I slam it down on the chopping board. But I agree swede is yummy.
The elderly tend to get ill, there are more elderly in the population hence an increasing number in hospital. I don't think that they are scapegoats or being blamed it's a consequence of people living longer.The word 'Scapegoat' comes to mind. The elderly 'bed blocking', and the T2s are now being blamed just as once it used to be the smokers. Statistics can be made to say anything you fancy.
It is the inferrence, fewer beds blamed on those who are 'deliberately' bed blocking. The inferrence that T2s are 'bringing our NHS to breaking point'. The inferrence that both of these things are due to willful neglect or laziness or malingering etc. It is how it is portrayed, worded in the media.The elderly tend to get ill, there are more elderly in the population hence an increasing number in hospital. I don't think that they are scapegoats or being blamed it's a consequence of people living longer.
I do think that elderly people living longer is often portrayed as a problem, rather than something to be celebrated. There is rather less attention paid in the media to how we cope with the challenges.The elderly tend to get ill, there are more elderly in the population hence an increasing number in hospital. I don't think that they are scapegoats or being blamed it's a consequence of people living longer.
And me until I bought mashed suede.That's so me lol
