Exercise gives you energy ⚡️ It will lift your mood and mental state and make you feel good 😊🙌🏻

Just remembered how at one hospital I worked, the first thing that came up if you typed TTO into the electronic request system was US BuTTOcks. Which we all thought was hilarious until a patient got a completely unnecessary scan of their bum instead of going home.

Words to live by ... 😅

Gotta love pharmacists ❤️

My pet peeves also include: 1) transfusing without a X-Match and direct from person to person 2) operating without scrubbing or a sterile field 3) abdominal rather than chest compressions 4) Heimlich manoeuvres for anyone who coughs

First sick patient of F1. I fumble for a gas. Fail the radial twice. Panic. Nothing else for it. Slide the needle between his ribs into the LV. Red blood in the syringe. Relief. Reg arrives. Livid. “What were you thinking?” she yells. “You should ALWAYS use local for an ABG!”

That’s like me on days off after working a long weekend 😂

Young son decides to insert Tic Tac up his nostril. I go for the unpopular tweezers option (son says absolutely no) - corrected by friend nearby who suggests quick ‘mouth to mouth’ breath. Immediate result! Common knowledge for anyone in paeds I’m sure but - genius!

Smashing work! 💪🏻

Furosemide’s brand name being Lasix because it LAsts for SIX hours and hence explains the optimum dosing interval is my favourite unsolicited fact to share

Tonight's on call has been quiet and so I've spent the last 45 minutes sat with a patient just chatting. It was so wholesome. I wish I had more time for my patients normally.

When you’re seeing a patient and the IT keeps crashing … 🤦🏻‍♂️

My approach to US guided cannulation: - dynamic out of plane approach following needle tip initially - switch to in plane near vessel wall to prevent back walking and visualise catheter within vessel I’ve personally found this method to have higher 1st pass success.
