Welcome to day 25 of #SCANUARY - thank you to my colleagues who have been flying #POCUS flag for last 24 days. Hello everyone, I am Emergency Medicine Consultant working in DGH near Glasgow and I have found #POCUS being absolutely amazing tool in my day to day working life. While teaching on multitude of courses over the years I have finished my PgDip in Medical Ultrasound and became West of Scotland Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Teaching lead.

Still places left for both components on the Leeds Advanced Critical Care Echo Course. Lots of interested delegates @LACTICconf 8-10 July 2025 FUSIC HD, ACCE, EDEC, EACVI, fTOE? events.humanitix.com/leeds-advanced… #Echofirst #critcareecho #FUSICHD #fTOE #EDEC #POCUS

We are in the last week of #Scanuary and we have @Katita1981 talking to us about how to scan aorta. Its one the most useful scans in ED Funfact: @Katita1981 has also been my teacher and examiner for my MSc in PoCUS. So she has wealth of experience

@casualtysrus @Manoj_Wickram @salmannaeem217 @NHSmallwood @gmpocus @Wilkinsonjonny Yes available on kindle for sure: Scars and Stains: Lessons from Intensive Care amzn.eu/d/5jq5GTV

@markzyi @Manoj_Wickram @salmannaeem217 @NHSmallwood @gmpocus @Wilkinsonjonny Ooo…sounds interesting. Is it available on kindle. Apologies for being lazy and not checking and just sending this.

#Scanuary: every wondered how beekeeping may relate to #POCUS? Chap11 of #Scars&Stains explores pearls and pitfalls in a strange parallel. amzn.eu/d/aVEQTTW

@salmannaeem217 @Manoj_Wickram @casualtysrus @NHSmallwood @gmpocus @Wilkinsonjonny Things are not always as they appear. Our eyes may deceive us. Other related quotes from that chapter include a biblical phrase, and lines from Yoda and Darth Vader. ;)

@markzyi @Manoj_Wickram @casualtysrus @NHSmallwood @gmpocus @Wilkinsonjonny Hmm. Whats the analogy here ?

@casualtysrus @Manoj_Wickram @salmannaeem217 @NHSmallwood @gmpocus @Wilkinsonjonny You might resonate with some chapters in the book. Towards the end there are also some intercultural reflections from SG heritage around death and dying.

@markzyi @Manoj_Wickram @salmannaeem217 @NHSmallwood @gmpocus @Wilkinsonjonny I’m intrigued Mark.

"Tan threads music like a basso continuo...which hums beneath the clinical soundscape of the hospital and the emotional tensions of confronting and combatting death." Thanks @DrHannahScott for this gorgeous review of Scars&Stains: rdcu.be/d6xVS

Channeled Brad Mehldau’s After Bach, Wendy Carlos’ Switched On Bach, and the more traditional weihnachtsoratorium, in my final chapter about some different ways to think and talk about death and dying. Scars & Stains (amzn.eu/d/aVEQTTW) #ICU #MedTwitter #music #Bass
