Morning all. Interesting @guardianheather.bsky.social piece touching on wider issue: so much govt policy (& public emotion) is based on statistical data about what’s supposedly happening to the country, what if some of our stats suck? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It’s time we sorted out the press. Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet. The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.

Sorry Zack Polanski this long hot summer is not the apocalypse - it's like a gloriously long holiday in France ..with village green cricket thrown in good measure

We need to salute courage wherever it appears. The official snow reporter at Vermont's Sugarbush, where JD Vance came on a skiing vacation this weekend, pointed out in her snow report this a.m. that the Trump team is ignoring climate change. Her report was pulled down kottke.org/25/03/jd-van...

Hanging Judge Goss the reason #lucyletby was found guilty, the witch finder General in a Spanish inquisition inspired trial. No way was Lucy escaping the hangman's noose. He allowed Lucy to be denigrated and pilloried by the prosecution without a shred of evidence. Appalling miscarriage of justice.

And there it is - the police determined an event to be suspicious if it Lucy Letby was on duty. Anything bad on any other shift was ignored. Lucy was the member of staff working the most with the sickest babies. The CPS blocked any statistical analysis. I wonder why. @gill1109.bsky.social

Following contact with Cheshire Police in Summer 2018, a review of case notes was undertaken for both periods when Letby worked at LWH. The process that was followed is outlined below (data relates to both time periods, 2012 and 2015). In order to review any potential suspicious events at LWH a review was undertaken. Ali incidents reported in the incident reporting system that included the name LL were examined. All deaths occurring on the days when LL was on duty were reviewed. The electronic patient record system (Badger system) was searched to identify any note entries made by LL. She had contact with 33 babies on a total of 324 patient days. Each of these days of care was reviewed by a neonatal consultant to identify any unusual or suspicious deterioration in the patient's condition. In addition, all babies who were on the neonatal unit on the days when LL was on duty were identified using the Badger system. Each of these days of care were reviewed by a neonatal consultant to identify unexpected cr unexplained deterioration in clinical condition. There were 257 babies on the unit during those days with 1,308 days of care requiring review [INQ017472]

Who wrote the medical records used to convict Lucy Letby? In some instances, consultants who were already blaming Lucy for earlier deaths … in particular, guess who. circularityandbias.wordpress.com/2024/12/20/w...

Which records was he looking at?

Dr Evans’s evidence does not fit the medical notes In my first blog on the subject, I was not completely adamant of Lucy Letby’s innocence. I conceded that if Dewi Evans’s medical…
