1/ Anaesthetic challenge. Patient turns up at a district general hospital for urgent (cancer) surgery. 2 months earlier TTE showed this pericardial effusion considered to be neoplastic in origin. Colchicine and steroids had been prescribed. A repeat echo the day before surgery

The GMC wanted to redact who they were seeking support off to influence the Leng review Unfortunately they didn't redact it all "Potential KF support" Now what organisation would have the resources for such a task, the appearance of independence, and have the letters KF… 🙃

Gigi is the most beautiful, precious little girl. Her death was entirely preventable, due to unsafe sleeping arrangements at nursery. Her wonderful Mum & friend of mine, Katie, is campaigning for safer nursery environments. Please share #campaignforgigi https://t.co/EuOQKwoabA

Totally outrageous attitude in this day and age. Sad that ICM has lost someone talented. ICM consultant with two children here, happy to chat to anyone who might have come across these attitudes and be having second thoughts about perusing a career.

https://t.co/d3HzdiREPz Hungover Tuesday EP out today. Band of doctors, available for events!

PAs being enabled to become senior clinical decision makers after their (2-6 week) placement as a student For comparison, Drs become Snr clinical decision makers after: ✅ 4-6yrs med school ✅ 2yrs foundation training ✅ 4yrs specialty training ✅ RCEM specialist exams

I have honestly no idea what it would take to make it up to candidates affected by this scandal (and it is a scandal). Paying for a resit isn’t enough. What about the candidates who were mistakenly told they had failed, who then may have left training? Awful

I agree, I am fortunate enough to have breastfeed both babies, but not without additional formula in the early days because as you say, breast feeding is hard and both babies became jaundiced and would have been admitted without us giving formula. The formula was our intervention

This chart is a scandal. Teachers, doctors and others earning fairly ordinary salaries can face marginal tax rates of more than 60%, and sometimes approaching 80%. Rachel Reeves should reform income tax. Thread:

📣 Only few places left! 🥼Clarification: The event is open to any trainee interested in ICM - core/foundation/LED etc - use the FICM trainee rate in person. Also any MDT can attend online for the lecture portion. 📝 Abstract submission will be extended till 18th September

https://t.co/usjxsqk7LX Exciting opportunity for someone PICU and POCUS interested!

Bravo to everyone working on the critical shortage of IV fluids in Australia. Once we get through this acute problem we need to seriously ask ourselves some tough questions. Let's start with - why on earth do we buy fluid 14,000 km away from Norway?

🇬🇧 ICU Echo Provision 👩‍⚕️ Median 4+ focused accredited scanners/unit ⚙️ 98% ICUs echo capable machine, median 2/unit 🚅 Focused echo quicker> comprehensive 🏥 Better infrastructure now, final push with echo routinely delivered in @FICMNews training? https://t.co/pbTQg1meKt

I am really so sick of the extent to which the HCPC @The_HCPC does not care EVEN REMOTELY about those it regulates. I have a #FitnessToPractise case going on since September 2020 - nearly 4 years hanging over the registrant & putting them at significantly increased risk of death

What SHOULD the blood pressure be during anaesthesia? Truth is, there are more unknowns than knowns: PeriOperative Quality Initiative (POQI) international consensus statement on perioperative arterial pressure management - British Journal of Anaesthesia

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews. From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance. You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇 https://t.co/JhecwxLFbG

My interview with the Immigration Minister where I try to get my head around Rwanda: “We’ve seen lots of people arriving on small boats - over 13,000 this year alone. Every one of these people, as far as I can tell, joins the queue to go to Rwanda. So how many people are in the
