Congratulations to our upper GI surgeons @Pritam__Singh@nima_ghadi and Shaun Preston on the first 2 patients for the start of our new robotic service! Ably assisted at the top end by @chrisnjones#robot#eras
Interesting, when Dex is used all the time in the NHS and has been for decades. I prescribed it twice last week (not for CoViD). The medical profession thanks you not to tell fibs or use the results of this study for political gain. You absolute salad 🥗
How dare @MattHancock tell a perfectly courteous MP - who also happens to be an A&E doctor - to "watch her tone" in the Commons?
Perhaps he could watch his #everydaysexism?
Not to mention his track record on PPE - the lack of which has endangered countless frontline staff?
Our amazing clinical fellow @DrJeyarajah@HWBRoyalSurrey has secretly spent the last 6 weeks gathering #wellbeing donations from kindly companies and designing a lovely (mynewwork) bag. What an incredible surprise. Thank you so much, @RSCHAnaesthesia@RoyalSurrey
So this is the department I work in. I’m in full PPE in theatre, singlehanded, and yet I receive from one of our trainees @DrJeyarajah this lovely box of treats to brighten my day! Thank you, and to all the caring staff @RSCHAnaesthesia@OurRSFamily@RoyalSurrey
Sneak peek at the lovely wellbeing pack I received today from @DrJeyarajah! Well done for all the hard work you’ve put into creating these, full of such lovely items which I’ll be putting to good use! #Wellbeing#NHS#relax
"We will never stop striving to keep our patients safe – but we are not, like cheap rhetoric, disposable."
I cannot abide being lauded as a hero by politicians who allow my colleagues to die for want of proper PPE.
Here's my piece on why.
theguardian.com/society/2020/m…
My patient & I couldn’t honour a minute’s silence today for #NHSheroes who gave their lives; but we were told it was imminent.
I had just removed her tracheostomy.
At that vital minute she spoke for the first time in 3 weeks, “Thank you.”
“You are welcome!” was my automatic reply
Just a little side project I’ve been working on with a colleague. Prompted by COVID but planned for ages.
Hope it’s well received. Comments welcome.
