Had mum guilt that I might miss my son’s virtual parent evening due to a busy ITU shift. Consultant covered me and shoved me into his lockable office. First ever parents’ evening done - one proud mama. Lots of parent guilt in this career but so grateful for awesome colleagues.

When an outside team brings a sick patient to your ED/theatre/ICU/other place, be kind. You know that they’ve probably been through a busy, chaotic few hours +. Don’t criticise the small things. Make them remember your dept. for your warm welcome, not for undue criticism.
