Should get this printed on a t-shirt. See also: lactate high doesn’t equal a boat load of fluid 🙄

Drives me absolutely crackers. “I gave a fluid bolus, I know it won’t do anything but it won’t cause any harm” 1. The second part of that sentence is wrong 2. Why do something knowing it won’t work? 🤯

I feel SEEN 😳

This makes for depressing but not unsurprising reading. ‘You won’t get a job/have to work in a teaching hospital/you’ll be unemployable’ is absolute garbage and belongs in the bin 🗑️

This is my current ‘comfort blanket’ TV series. Watched many times and makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Plus Claire is absolute ‘working mum’ goals ❤️

A degree in medicine. Numerous postgraduate qualifications. Yet I apparently do not have sufficient skills to make a sodding potato resemble Mr Bump. FML. #WorldBookDay2024

‘Decision making is not a linear process’ That explains why I look like this when explaining my process to doctors in training & medical students…

Especially if that own place of work is part of the problem. When I was bullied as a trainee in an awful toxic department, NHS Practitioner Health gave me the support I needed. Whilst my employing trust sent me a leaflet about ‘mindfulness’ and strongly implied I was the problem…

Sadly this does not change when you become a consultant. The ECMO consultant at 6am talking to the male SHO instead of me was a particular high point. And no, I’m not taking it as a compliment as I must ‘not look old enough to be a consultant’

There should be a Freeview channel dedicated to just playing this on loop for the next 20 years

Me when asked for a cost saving initiative. Sell the robot. Improve efficiency and plenty of ££££. Win win.

Goodbye, America. Never speak to Me again.

There is more to surviving ICU than just not being dead…
