@issypips The struggle is (was!) real! Imagine having a baby during trainee time…!

@Nigella_Lawson @Anaes_Journal @iGas2 Anaesthetics definitely like baking! Neonates and macaroons are equally fine balanced 👨‍🍳 👶🏼

[Cherese Lapere @ChereseLapere]

@adamcifu The term “conscious sedation”. Outdated for years, yet still used even by anaesthetists! Procedural sedation or Non-operating room anaesthesia has been accepted forever ago!

[Cherese Lapere @ChereseLapere]

@Thandivh Congratulations 🍾 that is a magnificent achievement and really amazing inspiration!

"Hard skills" are specific technical knowledge & training. "Soft skills", eg authenticity & empathy, are a mix of what we’ve learned & where we’ve come from. We need both. The last 21 months have shown how key "soft skills" are. We need to call them something else @SusanDavid_PhD

Tired of her public health mom ranting about vaccine hesitancy and ridiculous conspiracy theories, my 10-year-old daughter, Namzi, decided to channel the rage into creativity, with a vaccine comic. At least I am getting through to someone #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccinesWork
