incredibly medical student on a ward round vibes

I feel like if you are not ready to order when the waiter first comes to you, you get re-triaged as a category 5 and then you may as well just go home

Those concert medical tent areas with mattresses and bottles of water for revellers who have gotten too drunk should be repurposed (or at least shared) with the over 30s who have gone to a music festival by mistake

Very surprising to hear GRA president and serving Limerick Garda admit to not having had any training in CPR for 18 years I assumed anyone working in emergency services would have regular BLS training - whether mandatory, or for their own professional development & good practice

Can't argue with any of this. A real top bird #WEMSIG

I'm still annoyed about how poor the #24NoMore slogan was for the 2013 NCHD industrial action. The strike was demanding an end to shifts longer than 24 hours, but everyone thought it was for an end to 24 hour shifts. And NCHDs are still doing >24 hour on-site shifts! So poor

Many thanks @IrishCAPSS @DrDaraByrne for a great three days of simulation training. Great final day of workshops with @br @romerogamesltd on the future roles of gaming in healthcare and meducation. @spikelila can I have a console for my b-day??

I can't think of a single valid use for home blood pressure monitors. To offset their cost to the health service, they should be taxed like cigarettes

Has anyone ever seen a ?periorbital cellulitis that wasn't actually shingles/herpes zoster ophthalmicus. I haven't. I'm not sure periorbital cellulitis really exists. I mean it probably does. I've just never seen it. GPs seem to see it a lot

I've never seen a patient attend ED with an injury related to untied shoelaces. Nothing on PubMed either. I don't think untied shoelaces are as dangerous as we've been led to believe

I'm back playing football because I want to get really good at it before I turn 40

@TessaRDavis I've started to listen to podcasts at 5x speed on my cycles to and from work. I can just about squeeze in 3 podcasts now in the 40 minute trip. My comprehension however has really suffered

Confession: I speed-listen to podcasts and I speed-watch videos. Everything is at 2x the speed. Do we really learn or absorb information when we try to shortcut the experience?

No out of hours GP would see a patient today because he was Covid-19+ So instead he was seen by two paramedics, a triage nurse, two ED nurses, an ED doctor, an entire waiting room of patients, and a taxi driver to bring him home It's frustrating and it doesn't make sense

@drohanlon @AgeingRes @AGSJournal If I recall studying for medicine correctly, there are enough eponymous syndromes. I think we can look elsewhere to find the beauty and art of medicine. There are more things in heaven and earth than in the back of your oxford handbook of clinical medicine

The death of eponymy "Fewer eponymous syndromes are now being coined. Are we losing the beauty in medical nomenclature, and further divorcing medicine from art? Or are geriatricians ready to abolish Parkinson's and Alzheimer's forever?" agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg… @AgeingRes #medhums

This is great. Will definitely be aiming to include some of these practices and insights into the @SIMIRtech virtual ED Psychological safety isn't just a sim phenomenon

@AlexNevard I got the Jamie Oliver '5 Ingredients: Quick and Easy Food' cookbook a few years ago He should have included a matching guidebook - 'Finding the 5 Ingredients: Slow and Impossibly Tedious Shopping'

People who write recipes called "quick and easy midweek meal" that require me to use every piece of kitchen equipment I have will be among the first to be judged in the revolution. The time should include washing up too...

If you were surprised during the pandemic that some people were unwilling to suffer the slightest inconvenience to prevent deaths and for the public good, you've obviously never cycled in Ireland

Is it just me or does it seem like this question was written by Robert?

When you're not sure what sport they need the trophy for, just play it safe. A man going 'tada!'

Terrific thread on a really emotive ad that whitewashes all of the housing crisis context. To me it looks like she needs a stairlift. Never mind the potential delirium implications of living on the artificial set of your old sitting room within an ultra modern house
