This was a really fun session.
1- Brief your team and trust them to carry out their assigned roles
2- Verbalise the possible necessary steps
3- Make sure your team are on board with what you might be doing (eg no closed chest CPR)

Echo is one of the more skilled ultrasound exams you can do. Having learnt it and now teaching it, I see the same mistakes being made over and over again. I have put together thread on beginner mistakes in echo. #tweetorial #POCUS #FUSIC #askpocus

In the mid-90s I set fire to myself. My sister and her husband arrived for dinner from the Isle of Wight. I turned up the gas on the stove and threw the pasta into the boiling water.

Maybe suggest this to the new chancellor?

2/ Grant an immediate exemption for doctors to public sector pension rules which are currently forcing them to retire in their fifties in alarming numbers.

They’ve still got to go to the 1922 committee & get something, and honestly, I will love it if we beat them!

Me too!
You couldn’t just tear it out of the death certificate book either, so it stayed there the whole rotation, with a neat line across it, “written in error”
What did you die of?
I died of COPD

I once wrote my own death certificate after a night shift. To be fair I think it wasn’t far off being accurate…

My fellows complained they hate memorizing classifications, like LeFort. I thought, “There must be a better way—maybe understanding instead of memorizing.”
A #tweetorial about understanding the LeFort classification. #FOAMed #medtwitter #Medstudenttwitter @medtweetorials

I couldn’t make this in person or live online but I bought a ticket as soon as I saw this post two weeks ago- I’ve managed to watch the recording tonight.
A wonderful thing for such a good cause.
I really enjoyed it- thanks @Botanygeek
Inspiring as always.

“Mixing Blood Jug Don’t fuckn move it” 😆

The blood mixing jug was temporarily repurposed as the fake semen jug. We recommend a lube called SPUNK, which is “a creamy water and silicone blend that looks and feels like your own load.” £12.99 on eBay

When are you going to stop this lunancy once and for all @RishiSunak @sajidjavid @Jeremy_Hunt @BorisJohnson
You *cannot* fix waiting lists until you sort this - like you did for the judges. AA/LTA are destroying the NHS, on your watch
RT if you want them (☝️) to fix it @TheBMA

Alerted to another year of pension fines as I work too hard for the nhs. So, I’ve asked to cut my hours and will decline all future requests to cover extra operating lists. No longer willing to pay to work myself into an early grave. #nhscrisis

I took my son for squint surgery in the Day Surgery Unit at the hospital where I work and counted 14 different signs in the tiny paeds waiting room that began with “Please do not…”
We bloody love a “please do not” sign, don’t we?

My favourite NHS sign. I’ve never not seen a bed/mattress there in two years.

The X-axes on the two graphs do not line up.
The earlier peaks are set back by ~three weeks so the peak of infections aligns with peak of deaths (fair enough), but the later ones have the dates in the same vertical line. The comparison isn’t a fair one.

A really well organised day with a bunch of really enthusiastic students, it was good fun- thanks for having me!
It was really exciting to be able to hold our first PHEM EM workshop since COVID began today. A huge thank you to @andy_bmore, @nickstuffin, @Albert6025 and the other faculty for helping to facilitate a great day!
