@DrSandman11 I was told by a wise anaesthetist when I started that it's either awfully simple or simply awful!

@nickbrazel We're told it's back from next week 😍

Praise be! The remifentanil drought has ended. I was just getting the hang of TIVA with alfentanil too

@RoshanaMN It's the same for consultants too

Can someone explain to me why ‘junior’ doctor London weighting is a flat rate which hasn’t changed in 10+ years ~£2000 Instead of the 20% up to a specified maximum uplift other NHS staff get?

@PeterMerjavy @garrettsbarry @bmacaulay2000 @MKwesiKwofie @OBsleepmerchant @Ropivacaine Exactly what I did today... Worked like a charm!

@garrettsbarry @bmacaulay2000 @MKwesiKwofie @OBsleepmerchant @Ropivacaine Preprocedural neuraxial ultrasound scan followed by standard tuohy as introducer followed by whitacre of appropriate length (120 or 145mm)

Spinal anesthesia for the morbidly obese (+/- pregnant) patient: what are the favourite techniques out there when the space is super deep and unsuccessful with long 25g whitacre? @bmacaulay2000 @MKwesiKwofie @OBsleepmerchant @Ropivacaine #RegionalAnesthesia

@drcmharris @doctorwibble Indeed! Hope the rest of your night was OK!

@aidanpdevlin @doctorwibble And a chat on paediatric short stay!

This weekend on call: Several trauma major haemorrhages, 2 paediatric laparotomies, some blocks, 1 awake fibre optic intubation and much more done by the rest of amazing team including @doctorwibble. Who said anaesthesia is boring?

@ronansetron @drphiliplee1 Actually voiced this early on Friday morning...

@drphiliplee1 I actually used to refer to it constantly when I worked at an unnamed, very famous, and infamously toxic department for 8 months in FY1 😌

You could actually remake the whole of The Devil Wears Prada about medicine and it'll make total sense.

@AdeAyeni @doctorwibble Only on occasion 😂

@aidanpdevlin @doctorwibble Hmm. Sounds like you may be a a certain type of magnet…

@amit_pawa However it works... It does work!

Been pondering a bit about the External Oblique Intercostal Block. I could understand how it got anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostals near the Rectus, but couldn’t quite fathom how it got the lateral cutaneous branches. This little review helped me out! 👇🏼

Since I joined ⁦⁦@KingsCollegeNHS⁩ we have wasted over 6t of Nitrous Oxide, the climate equivalent to driving round the world 200x. We aim to eliminate this waste starting with the decommissioning of this manifold in Oct. Welcome to the fascinating world of medical gas!

@L_D_White @JournalofClinAn @SChealthnews @ESRA_trainees @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @RegionalAnaesUK I know that it's my new favourite thing! 5/5 successes for reverse L or upper abdominal transverse incisions. One patient asked me what the PCA was for!

More trainee led RA literature @JournalofClinAn Excited to have two articles in the latest vol (82) What do we know so far about the external oblique intercostal plane block? See sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @SChealthnews @ESRA_trainees @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @RegionalAnaesUK

@Microbedoc2 A joke?

What is London weighting for JD & consultants? Just doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. (I don't have my payslip to hand)

New videos out from the @RCoANews Well worth a watch if you’re applying for ST4. rcoa.ac.uk/news/recruitme…

Incorporating Dynamic Needle Tip Positioning (DNTP) for peripheral and arterial access has been a game changer. DNTP with cephalic vein cannulation has revolutionized our management for big peds abdominal cases where you need good UPPER EXTREMITY access. baby-blocks.com/vascular-acces…

And thoracic epidurals.. but I never stopped doing those anyway

TIVA without remi is rubbish so I'm back to the 80s with volatile and boluses of fentanyl 😂

Anyone else not enjoying this remifentanil shortage at all 😭

@nicholson_katy This is awful. Who is running this? They could divert their considerable organisational skills to help kids who would benefit much more than those who can afford the £3750 fee

Just got this as a targeted ad. Who is helping run these sessions? Who goes to the networking? It just feels so wrong - min. £600!!! Aiding privileged middle class kids to get into med school when all efforts IMO should be targeted at levelling up. investin.org/products/the-y…
