📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive.

📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House.

We often talk about standards of aviation safety & how they inspired patient safety improvements in healthcare. As UK EDs are critically understaffed most shifts, news the air traffic controller was doing the job of 2 in the D.C. crash hits hard when we are often doing the same in overcrowded EDs.
