Never been told that, but there are still many (male) anaesthetists teaching techniques that only work for anaesthetists with large hands. I had to seek out a female consultant with small hands to learn proper technique.

If it’s taking a battering by doctors choosing to work the same hours as every full time AfC staff member, it’s clear things need a rethink. Zero incentive to work more when pay is so dreadful.

Two thirds of our specialty trainees now work less than full time. Anyone who wishes to, can choose to do this, and it will always be accepted, with no reason having to be given. Medical training in the UK is taking a battering. But surely this is progress and a good thing?

@Microbedoc2 Be an awful shame if that fridge was turned off in the day and nobody could access it to salvage what was in it.

Finally starting to feel festive 🎄 (also, how have I made it to 31 without trying amaretto in hot chocolate? 🤤)

@morefluids Interrupting with their own (often unhelpful) chatter to the patient when I’m either inducing anaesthesia or doing a spinal. One voice!

Last shift ever in the far East (of Yorkshire) today. I might be skint, tired and sick to death of the M62, but I’m going HOME!

@dr_lungs I’ve had the same conversation about coffee in the anaesthetic room (in a lidded KeepCup). ‘Ok then, last patient’s cancelled, I’m off for my 30 minute break that I’m entitled to’.

Worth an early start and nearly getting blown across the Peak District to start 2024 my favourite way 🥰
