Leaving aside the question of if high school students are “children”, I agree with the impulse. It is important not to unnecessarily terrorize people, especially children, with things (like mass shootings or cardiac arrests) which are very unlikely. I should differentiate between “mass shooter training” and bleeding control training. Mass shooter training (if a shooter comes into the school this is what we’ll do) is something which I do not believe we should be doing with young school children. It effectively terrorizes children over something that is extraordinarily unlikely, creating a fear that need not exist. It’d be like doing home invasion drills with your children, why would you want to put that thought in their heads before they are old enough to process the probability of ever being a victim of a home invasion? 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. It’s a stoic viewpoint that allows you to take a deep breath when the blood keeps coming and time is running out. Whatever happens, you must remember: “all bleeding stops eventually”. Ros Turnbull is a trainee Doctor in A&E working in a system which leaves little time for empathy but then a diagnosis changes everything. Al Smith's two part drama examines the NHS from the viewpoint of a Doctor who becomes a patient. To my right, a crimson curtain cascaded down, splashing and deteriorating into the pool that I found myself lying in. In a dreamlike daze, I held my fingers up to the warm and dripping liquid, let it run down my hand and forearm. How the light glinted off of the blood.

I do not have the luxury of saying in response to mass shootings “well there shouldn’t be shootings” or “we should ban guns” or any such macro-level political ‘solutions.’ I am tasked with doing something productive for the population I serve in the face of this risk. Calls for mental health funding, red flag laws, media reform, or various flavors of gun control are all well and good but are part of a separate discussion. Those long-term systemic policy discussions are not going to help the victim of a shooting who’s bleeding out on the ground while the police are searching for the shooter. But bystander or self-intervention to stop the bleeding could. 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. I guess you’re hoping that somewhere in this pointless, rambling discourse, I have a point that ties all this together. And I do, sort of. It is this: In all your plays be sure to write at least one impossible thing. And don't let your director talk you out of it. Spahn DR, Cerny V, Coats TJ, Duranteau J, Fernández-Mondéjar E, Gordini G, Stahel PF, Hunt BJ, Komadina R, Neugebauer E, Ozier Y, Riddez L, Schultz A, Vincent JL, Rossaint R, Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma: Management of bleeding following major trauma: a European guideline. Crit Care 2007, 11: R17. 10.1186/cc5686Tactical Combat Casualty Care Guidelines[ http://www.health.mil/Libraries/Presentations_Course_Materials/TCCC_guidelines_090204.pdf] But to teach someone a skill is not to terrorize them. Teaching someone a skill, showing them how to fix something, is empowering. Every child (and certainly every adult) should know how to use a tourniquet and do CPR from the point they’re physically strong enough to do those skills. It’s not ‘normalizing’ violence or injury, it is empowering people to be masters of their own fate. The final criticism, which often comes from professionals, is that we can’t expect “lay people” or “civilians” to do these things, let alone do them correctly. They, rightly, point out that out of people who learn CPR, only a percentage of them will actually perform CPR if the time comes, and only a small percentage of that group will do it correctly. This is true, but it is all the more reason to give better training to more people to increase the numbers of people who know these skills, choose to do them when needed, and do them correctly. 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. There's no time limit to writing plays. Think of playwriting as a life-long apprenticeship. Imagine you may have your best ideas on your deathbed.

In a Newsnight special marking the NHS’s 75th anniversary, Kirsty Wark asks the big questions about the future of UK healthcare. Broadcasting live from Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, Kirsty will be joined by TV doctor Xand van Tullekan and people working at the heart of the health service, to ask is the NHS on life support or fit for the future?

Blood sizzled and popped and the smell of burnt hair filled the room. Thin wisps of smoke snaked upwards like ghostly fingers reaching for the light. 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.” Push emotional extremes. Don't be a puritan. Be sexy. Be violent. Be irrational. Be sloppy. Be frightening. Be loud. Be stupid. Be colorful. This is obviously bar-napkin math, but you begin to see why people who do what I do often pursue what to the public may seem like counterintuitive aims. “Why are we spending all this money on training when we could invest it in armed guards to keep people safe?”. Mass-training programs, like the now decades-long push to teach the public CPR, provide a lot of benefits compared to the relatively modest investment required.

C was circulation, the pumping of the heart. You had to take care of those things in that sequence to stabilize the patient. Establish an airway and respirations, then take care of the compressions. This couldn’t be real. At any point I would wake up from the most realistic nightmare I’d ever had, spend the waking hour with relief that the horrors I had witnessed were nonexistent in waking life.

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. Write from your organs. Write from your eyes, your heart, your liver, your ass -- write from your brain last of all. I myself had been the recipient of such calls. Family doctors had called me in a panic, getting in too deep with their own procedures, and I had nonchalantly arrived to solve their problems. Language is a form of entertainment. Beautiful language can be like beautiful music: it can amuse, inspire, mystify, enlighten. 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
