www.irishtimes.com Kathy Sheridan: When words fail, we still turn to the priest to find them In some of the loneliest moments of our lives, we trust in the wisdom of a priest, born of years spent attending scenes of human devastation Agree. System treats staff shortages due to sickness are either
1. Sure what can we do except keep going? OR
2. But sure we coped didn’t we?

"Staff sickness a major factor behind critical incident".View quoted post on X
If your system can't handle some staff calling in sick without catastrophically failing, that's mismanagement.

I met Sarah in 2018. She was inspirational.
It is with immense sadness to mark the passing of Dr Sarah Fitzgibbon. Sarah was a regular columnist for the Medical Independent since 2018. As the mountains of positive feedback we received over the years in response to her wonderful columns attested, she was a brilliant and much-loved writer. No matter the subject, Sarah always brought a lightness of style and wit that was inimitable. Her death is a huge loss to Irish medicine, from her cancer advocacy to her work on supporting women doctors with the establishment of WiMIN .View quoted post on X
We extend the deepest sympathies and best wishes to her family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time.
Sarah was a wonderful person.
