What goes through anaesthetists’ minds before and during emergency front of neck access?

What can we learn from those who have performed eFONA?

@Dr_Done_ I cannot imagine a single patient would consent to being operated on by a non-doctor. (even if its minor). Is this even legal ? Might as well go to your cowboy cosmetic saloon down the road to have the surgery.

POV:

🔹 You’re a new physician associate from 2021

🔹 By virtue of simply being not a doctor, you get featured on the ‘Breast Unit Consultant Staff’ page

🔹 Consultants bow before you and recognise ‘the importance of keeping my role interesting’

🔹 If you’d gone to medical school you’d be a YEAR 3 medical student;

🔹 BUT instead you’re doing independent operations under local anaesthetic, triaging new breast cancer patients and determining their wait times, operating with consultant surgeons, and ‘managing complications’

🔹 This is all after entering the workforce before even completing any national exams under the guise of another ambiguous ‘associate’ something or other

* meanwhile the ST8 breast surgeon with 8 years specialist training, 2+ years general training, and 5 years of medical school, is paid the same, has no ‘feature’ on the staff page, and is disposable *

THE NHS HATES DOCTORS

@SecretPhysician The original article at https://t.co/2bzA4sPWl4 includes this gem:

“He and eight other students […] are completing a three-year Post graduate degree which will give them the same responsibilities as a junior doctor.”

Utterly, utterly deluded.

[Charlotte @Cray_tweets1]

@ExplosiveEnema2 @papodcast It seems incredible to me that a consultant doctor was happy & willing to put all of this on the record…

Genuinely, what is the point of a medical degree & postgrad medical training if you can do all of this in far less time without it & be paid more?

Why the rise of Physician Associates poses a risk for the NHS

The use of Physician Associates is growing at an alarming rate. Dr David Nicholl explains why we should all be concerned.

It ever ceases to amaze me

The lack of professionalism from PAs on social media:

Imagine seeing who you think is a GP, recounting an intimate problem (see pic), getting this advice, then seeing this post on insta from a PA with 2 weeks med experience.
