Just bite down on a slice of haggis, laddie;
Medical teams are now forbidden from using Desflurane, even if in their medical opinion Desflurane is the best anaesthetic for the procedure, so in that scenario at least, patient health comes second to the Scottish Health climate agenda.
Can’t even bite down on a piece leather as it comes from cows. I guess we just scream instead as the woke surgeon cuts off our legs.
Bite a Greenie.
It seems like only yesterday I informed Brian Zinchuk about this insane cancellation. This has happened in a country where, “including indirect and induced employment, around 110,000 jobs in Scotland were supported by the oil and gas industry at the end of 2018”.
More importantly perhaps, “In 2017, the energy sector accounted for 11.7 per cent (£3.8bn) of Scotland’s international exports and 15.9 per cent (£7.8bn) of Scotland’s exports to the rest of the UK”. I’m sure these numbers are much larger now.

I wonder if anyone has ever calculated the CO2 produced for carbonated beverages like soft drinks or beer or whatever. Surely it would be more significant?
Hey! Just leave beer outta this…
I’ve often wondered the same thing. Why isn’t CO2 listed as an ingredient on soft drink containers? It is added in to the solution, like in a SodaStream machine. Natural fermentation causing gas in beverages is only in good champagnes, naturally brewed beers, ginger beers and kombucha as far as I know.
Canadian Tire is “Committed to reducing its Carbon footprint” and at the same time – sells CO2 bottles for Soda Stream
They are literally selling bottles of the stuff they are trying to reduce.
it’s not the inhalational anesthetic I or most of my colleagues routinely use however it can be very useful in certain clinical scenarios. Since it and most inhalational anesthetics are used in circle anesthetic systems the amount released into the atmosphere is minimal – the vast majority is recirculated back to the patient after it is exhaled and the CO2 is scrubbed by an absorber. The idea that Desflurane would have any detectable effect on the global climate is ludicrous. Banning it is theatrics with real costs trumping hard science and common sense (once again)
.
But itmust be true, it has been modelled.
Have gun laws made biting on a bullet an unviable option?
WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO SCOTLAND??? It’s turned into a nation of limp-wristed sodomite-loving Greta-worshipping fascist cucks!
Is it because all the good Scots left?
They did. The English would not have had the success they did without the Scots. They pop up everywhere throughout the empire, sorting things out when the Poms couldn’t. Back home they couldn’t even write the Oxford English dictionary without needing a Scot, James Murray, to come in and get the job done. Have a read of “How the Scots Invented the Modern World” by Arthur Herman.
Are they still recommending tobacco smoke enema’s for drowning victims.
Losing most of my respect for the Medical Quackery system we have. You are better off with a fence row witch and her bundle of herbs.

I’m 1/8 Scottish. I guess I figured out the source of any fragility in my mental health.
The politicians know best.
These people must be stopped before they start insisting on natural dentistry.
2,500 times 0 is still zero.
Anesthesia is a difficult business at the best of times. Requirements vary extensively from one patient to the next, and a careful selection and proportioning of analgesic, paralytic, and hypnotic components, together with constant patient monitoring are required in order to prevent terrible mishaps, which can rage from minor complaints, like nausea and slow recovery because one of the selected drugs doesn’t exit the patient’s bloodstream as quickly as the other components, to rather horrible complications, like patient recall. This happens when the patient is incapable of movement because of the paralytic component of the anesthesia but is still sensitive to the pain of the procedure. This happens more often than anesthesiologists would care to admit.
A few years ago I worked on marketing a device for consciousness monitoring, (https://www.medtronic.com/covidien/en-us/products/brain-monitoring.html) using what is called the bispectral index to help prevent this, and the sheer number of adverse events and patient recall events they reported was shocking.
Messing with the drugs used in anesthesia is very, very dangerous and is almost certain to result in adverse events.
Just wait until your anesthesiologist is chosen by some DEI criteria …
We are returning this rodent infested field back to its natural habitat because we don’t want to mow it anymore $$$.. Hiking paths getting the same treatment.. Let all the fuel build up until it burns but don’t you dare put it in a wood burning stove..
Green means you get nothing.. Except maybe some police tape around a tree and a dumb plaque used to remind you that you get nothing.. I’m not a fan of sorting my garbage for no reason.. Or cheap assed cities willing to cut services so they pretend to save a green pepper.. Affordable housing for rodents?..
They want to serve anything that cant speak for itself and ignore everything that can.. Green means you get nothing..
Holy crap! I’m gonna need to schedule that second hip replacement surgery … stat!
Gang Green leads to amputation.
Gang Green is the gangrene of social order.
I’m reasonably sure Desflurane will still be available for ‘gender-affirming healthcare’ needs.
