@DrJenGunter A TOP has a lower mortality rate than a continuing pregnancy in most countries (incl. US) so I, as a physician may “feel” that any ongoing pregnancy represents a danger to the mother’s life. How much “danger” do I have to “feel” she is in?

@dr_km_ Deets please

@MStott88 It’s so the SHO can check if they have a pacemaker when they do the crem form the following week

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@Euro_Bo_Bo @dob86 Dare I say it, but maybe many juniors today would be happy to accept similar conditions, if they knew they had passionate mentors fighting their corner

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@Euro_Bo_Bo @dob86 For all that’s wrong with it (and there’s a lot wrong with it), I get a sense of someone who is heavily invested in his juniors & training…

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@EmilyJBarley @ReynoldsLynda @Safe_Maternity Mainly the length of admission. Most ELCS admitted in the morning, 1 night in hospital and then discharge next day. Most IOLs take 2-3 days before established labour. Often delays in “ARMable” pts being moved to LW. Some end up with EMCS, which prolongs admission further

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@dob86 I have absolutely no idea what any of that means

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@dob86 I agree… but you know only too well some 🏥 just give a six month rota, regardless of how long placements are

👩‍⚕️“The rota you’ve given me only goes up to Feb, I’m here for 18/12. When will I get the rest of my rota?”

🏥 “We’ll tell you at the end of Dec, as per national T&Cs”

@peteturton85 It’s still not to late to go back to O&G

@EdanStarforth I’m not going to commit until I see the accompanying lateral film

@rbarbosa91 …which could, if one were of a frugal persuasion, be used for something else

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@rbarbosa91 While a medical student in Scotland, I was told (perhaps incorrectly) the Aberdeen knot was not developed in Aberdeen. Instead, the name was a slight on Aberdonians, who have a reputation for being careful with their money. The knot leaves a longer length of suture left over…

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@dob86 This is exactly the sort of question I’d expect @Jopo_dr to answer in an unexpectedly interesting 10 tweet thread

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@liambarker And I should add, those that do introduce themselves are generally Drs/ANPs calling from primary care!

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@liambarker At least they introduced themself by name/grade. I carry a phone for referrals when oncall. Always make a point of answering with name/grade. 95% of people just launch into, “yeah, anyway, I’ve got a woman with…” no name & no idea if it’s a med student,cons, nurse. BOILS MY PISS

[DrO&G @DrObsGynae]

@jimgthornton Do you think we should be treating more expectantly? Some evidence that for tubal ectopics, that fit criteria for medical mgmt, outcomes are similar when expectantly managed.

Doing something isn’t always better than doing nothing, and MTX can cause significant harm…

@OGdukeneurosurg Man cannot live without a heart. Humanity can’t survive without a uterus
