Really enjoyed my rotation with the BMT & Cellular Therapy team.
I had the privilege of meeting many cancer patients and their families across their HSCT and CAR-T cell therapy journey.
Grateful for the experience ❤️

No one told me the main conditions I should know for ECG interpretation in medical school.
Here's 11 ECG abnormalities that you NEED to know for your OSCEs👇

When I was 16 I asked the librarian to watch my stuff while I went to the toilet. she said she couldn’t? Upon seeing my confusion, she started quoting something from the terrorism act about leaving bags unattended…

Any good books for learning how to interpret ECGs?
I just want a book with an ECG on one page, and an explanation + diagnosis/differentials/management on the other.

We can make a group and set the reading for every month. One 45 min session per month.

It costs £6 to do a clotting screen on ONE patient (does not include paying someone to take the blood)
If coagulation samples are ordered inappropriately (w/o clinical indication) this could lead to excess costs of around £100,000 per year at one hospital*

It’s not the prejudice or the obscenity of stuff like this, it’s how young I was.
You are so conditioned, through the media or through your own internal training at work, that you pathologised (without hesitation) a 16 year old boy asking you to look after his laptop?

Tough pill to swallow: hard work DOES NOT necessitate being 'adequately rewarded' for your efforts.
In the digital age, what you work on matters much more than "working hard".
Someone can work less than you and be rewarded many magnitudes more.

In my GCSE mocks I got B’s,D’s and U’s. I had my first life crisis and clocked that if I didn’t get good grades I would be stuck in the same town as all the other people whose lives I didn’t want.
The fear of failing in life made me hustle.
I got 7A*’s, and 4 A’s. No tutor.

I did a summer oncology research internship this year.
I did not have the best technical skillset, but everyday I would ask "how can I be useful to the people around me?"
After working hard for months, I am now being rewarded with the chance to work on multiple papers.

Sometimes I’m hard on myself, but then I think about how I’ve navigated a lot of things on my own.

A poverty mindset is thinking it is ok to spend beyond your means.
A wedding that puts someone into debt or financial disarray is clearly not desirable.
People can choose to do what they want within their means. Whether that’s investing in property or spending big on a wedding.

I met a techno DJ from Napoli when I was on holiday. We went out together, & the next night he (and his sister!) made me some pasta.
To this day he’s the happiest person I’ve ever met. He told me about the Italian saying “vita lenta”, & it changed the way I view life, and work.

If u could make one change to the architecture of British hospitals what would it be?
I want more ‘biophillic design’🌱
Rooms with plants, big windows, natural light, good ventilation etc.
Let patients/staff see nature. Hospitals should be a place for healing, not subjugation

I think "productiveness" [how much ppl can cram into their week] is conflated with "ambition", as if to say people who do less are less ambitious...
Sometimes real ambition is looking after your mental health, sleeping/eating well, and being present with the people who matter.

If you're a medical student and don't know how to network:
ask someone you like on the internet to call you for 30 minutes on a Wednesday afternoon. Then do that 2-3 times per month.
By the end of the year you will probably have a great network.

today an AI medical device software got FDA approved. it can precisely identify heart failure (with preserved ejection fraction)
it is ~90% sensitive, and ~80% specific according to the validation dataset.
current clinical practice is only 74% sensitive, and 65% specific.
