@SydneyAirport Hey SYD, 1/3 of passengers from the already delayed flight QF122 Queenstown to Syd are still waiting for our bags 60min standing at baggage claim 4. We are the ONLY flight so it can’t be busy. Someone ASAP to explain/sort out the situation please

Thanks everyone for the messages Huge (impossible!) shoes to fill after @doctimcook but really excited/honoured🤗 Lots to do but hopefully we will be supported as before by the UK anaesthetic community (🙏🏼) to deliver important results for patients and anaesthetists worldwide🤞

Sooooo....we're now doing gastric POCUS for ALL GLP-1 agonist pts. And the results are...not pretty. It changes our mgmt frequently. Rather than rely on an arbitrary fasting time, a bedside test has been key. If you're new to this, check out this vid 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=4Kc5qV…

@mouseter_chef I’m sure I will 🙏🏻 There are many concerned medicos in Oz (or at least in my circle of colleagues) watching what is happening to the NHS. We are saddened and shocked. Hope to catch you at a conference sometime soon

I’ve seen this do the rounds a few times and whilst ditching qualifications is bonkers, it’s not quite as simple, or indeed novel, as many might think. A warp speed tour of markets, their failures and why medicine is very much a lone wolf in this conversation 🐭 and 🧵

"Compulsory licensing of medical professionals should be abolished" Where have I seen IEA before in the context of PAs and AAs... Oh yes...

Good thread by @DrNavSidhu unpacking the implications of GLP-1 and fasting status. I have to say: just learn #pocus gastric ultrasound. It’s not that difficult to master. And provides definitive answers to help your patient, and you. These guidelines are IMHO too unhelpful

1/ So, this document just dropped today from @ANZCA, GESA, NACOS, @AUDiabetesSoc A consensus expert opinion on what do to with patients on GLP-1 RAs presenting for endoscopy and #surgery. Let's unpack it in this brief thread 🧵 #Anaesthesia #Anesthesiology
