The British Bibliophile

local matchmaker losing it over yet another unrealistic demand from the clientele 🤣🤣

And so the two surgeons filmed a handover after heart surgery and sent it to the Ferrari pitcrew who were told to critique and improve handover process

And from this:

we got this:

The error rate during patien handovers dropped from 30% to 10% with the F1 informed protocol.

I love this!

And it that it wasn't a one and done.

The doctors went to the race tracks to watch the car changes and the pit crews went to the hospitals and watched a live transfer and offered suggestions and they kept working with them to improve.

After there was a successful improvement of the most vital metrics of a handover of a patient from surgery to ICU, the pit crews also worked with other hospitals for other procedures and it's now a whole thing of trying to apply the specialized, streamlined and speedy teamwork and nonverbal coordination of pit crews to other high-risk fields.

but to set one of the most classic british characters in the middle of new york? hilarious. funnier still, sherlock actually seems to disdain this himself quite often.

to make john watson, a traditionally long suffering and slightly stand offish man, into a woman? to make her a retired surgeon who left medicine after failing to save someone's life, and instead turning to working as a sober companion? to have her early seasons characterised by a constant battle between satisfying her desire to help people with a rigid determination to live up to the expectations of her family and peers, and actual self-fufillment? made all the more poignant by having her played by an asian-american woman, a demographic for whom those battles are all too often laid at the feet of? breathtaking.

to make moriarty a woman? to make her sinister and cruel and unyielding but also giving her nuance and failings? AND toxic yuri-ism with watson? sensational.

and perhaps most importantly: to make sherlock a believable genius, someone astonishingly intelligent but astoundingly driven by the desire to do good, to be good. to make him profoundly offended at the abuse of power, at violence against the vulnerable, to make him a champion of people who have been victimised not because he is clever enough to be above such things but because he is genuinely appauled by it. and, to make him an addict, not as some barely noted sideplot or zippy one-line reference, but as a continuous story of personal development and fighting, in which the phantom of his addiction is not vanished by the power of love but an ever-present threat that hangs over everything he does despite his best efforts. this version of sherlock more than any other is powered, singularly, by fighting to be better not than everyone around him, but better than himself the day before. he is still arrogant and proud and occassionally cruel, but he is also allowed to learn and get better and he is enriched by the people who surround him.

“You feel the bulge in his pants” - implies that you are feeling some guy’s penis, may be sexy depending on context
