@gasmummy@AnaesthesiaABC Bob has been variously described as “unbelievable”, “unique”, “breathtaking” and a “systematic risk to patient outcomes and productivity”.
Told hubby story about yesterday
He replied: ‘who’s Mr X?’
Me: ‘consultant’
Him: ‘what century do you guys occupy? What other environment or job do people still call people ‘Mr x/y/z? It’s ridiculous.’
Yup.
If any doctors following are interested in Intensive Care Medicine and like the look of the job (best job going in my opinion!) here’s some recruitment information from @FICMNews
We don't need to give dying patients permission to drink alcohol. If they want mouth care with whisky before bed, who are we to stop them? If they want a G&T, provide them with a glass & some ice. Keep it simple.

Dear Bob, I’m afraid you underestimate our students. That’s what lectures are for. As a bonus point, if you teach us well, you get to spend more time in the pub.
This is what I do. I also
- refer to myself in the 3rd person to repeat my name and title “Dr. Reid will check in to that.”
- hand out my baseball card with my picture and title on it
- know the patients history and speak seriously and with authority
- perform a physical exam
Anaesthetists&Intensivists: If you could teach Med students anything, what you wished they knew or what would be useful before they started their anaesthetic training/anaesthetic med school placements - what would it be? @iceman_ex@silv24@stephen_t_webb@PapCriticalCare
Oh, it’s that dreadful hat man again.
Dear boy, for optimal #patientsafety, you could put your bloody telephone down and look at the patient.
Maybe if we wrote your name on their head you could do that? #narcissism#dontaskforevidence
The prevailing wisdom of, "it's not personal, it's just business" is false. The best leaders make their work deeply personal.
Why? Because leadership is all about people.
A top surgeon harmed patients for years and the health board did not have the systems in place to pick up on his mistakes, a BBC investigation has found https://t.co/A237N6Mbx5
Oh you darling, superbly-coiffed old thing.
Insight is the first breakthrough, so bless you. Bob hopes with help you overcome this and learn to take the piss out of yourself.
