Imagine you’re on a professional expedition. If we removed titles and stowed equipment for the day - how would we know who the medic was? Join me at #WEM25 in two-weeks to find out… worldextrememedicine.com/wor…

This thread is the best of humanity, adventure, exploration, contemplation and story-telling. Lose yourself for 10 minutes.

I saw this on an OS map and couldn't not investigate. A place of worship symbol in the middle of bloody nowhere on the edge of a wood. It was a foggy, atmospheric day up on the North Downs, so I decided to walk three sides of a square through the wood to reach it.

I’ll be speaking tomorrow at the @WorldExtremeMed conference. It involves, in no particular order; lava, purpose, prince William swearing, and gas hobs. Somewhat of an outlier in your normal medical conference programming. If you’re around, please come heckle me.

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Gullis eating soup with a fork. I watched Braverman try to deport a sofa. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.”

Should we care about style when climbing mountains?
As the @PioletsDOr are happening in Briançon right now, I put together my thoughts about what I’ve witnessed during some years climbing mountains.

If you want to land at the wrong airport, get told to wait 3 hours for a coach, and then be offered the option of *PURCHASING* a bottle of water to make it all better, fly @jet2tweets - the UK’s new contender for worst airline.

Just because you narCAN doesn’t mean you narSHOULD.
Unless respiratory depressed or arrest, why are “over-dosing” #naloxone to patients with suspected opioid use?
(I’ve been working on that for two days btw)

Raw sewage is hideous. But I can’t imagine cooked sewage is much more pleasant… #sewage #saveourseas

BREAKING: Rishi Sunak has announced a new ATLS Protocol.
“This new protocol is very simple” explained the PM. “Forget haemorrhage control. Just keep giving blood and if you don’t have enough blood just give some fluid and eventually the patient will just sort themselves out.”

The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.

Love this joke by @JasonManford … a bit of inter-professional banter 😂
Also a great survival story from someone who suffered a cardiac arrest at one of his shows 🙏

Med student said that they thought Fast AF meant "fast as fuck" and were wondering why so many doctors were using it as a diagnosis 😩🤣

It’s 6pm, it’s still light out and looking S.W there’s a really bright stationary light in the sky, with a second more dim light below it. Not moving, not flickering, surely not dark enough to see a star. Thoughts? @huwmjames and other Astro bods?
