@dru_jlh I've gone 80% for IMT1 and honestly I will not be going back, the rota is bad enough now, never mind doing 7 days straight 😬

My 40th birthday in a photo. Champagne, birthday cake, a wonderful trip away and excellent company (@_andy_pandy_ )

@dru_jlh Not gonna lie I am dropping to 80% now I have a training job to allow for this 😬 hoping it's not too painful!

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@Jkbmedic I'd like to not have to sit on a bin 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@bobbert_ Just had mine quoted (my neighbour), £175/day and should take 3 days for living room and hall/stairs/landing, so seems reasonable. He did say the living room didn't add much time as it's easy space and can do it between coats in the other areas.

@doctor_dru_ The drama is real! We have "Residents of X", "X Residents" and "Real Residents of X" the beef is real!

@DrEilidhMaria Through Oriel to apply for higher specialty training...e.g. haematology that only requires the two years

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@DrEilidhMaria Can be either depending on tier of speciality you want to go for was my understanding?

@bobbert_ Steamer. Painting over the top will come back to bite you 😭

@DrTADM @monzo Mine shamed me for daily coffees 😬

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

It's a Friday night. I'm on nights. I'm smashing a packet of white chocolate digestives

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@b_d4512 Lots of nights and lates. Barely any 'normal' days so I'm basically constantly adjusting time zones or exhausted. I'm going into Paeds next, which I'm not sure is a much better rota 🙃 what about you?

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@DrKidneyAsh Oh completely! I have a river of sweat underneath the bike and I got told off by another member 😂

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

Night shift haze so unclear what day/month/year it is so elected a run would help....it did not.

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@danmosley90 Ours is tomorrow and I'm very invested in this situation

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@doctor_dru_ The one and only time I've done it was when there was a clear threat to the patient themselves and other members of staff, plus a clear plan from psych etc. no one should be pressured into it. It's really hard but we really can't dish out the sedation every time

[Andrew @_andy_pandy_]

@Dr_DeanS I've had mine about 5 years. Last year was best crop...keep the new shoots that have grown this year, cut down the ones that grew last year. Seems to work for me!

@marinadpol Question"Would you call an ambulance/GP in the middle of the night for this?"
Most cannulas can wait til morning.
Eat properly and develop a Nightshift routine to optimise sleep time. Personally, I don't nap on shift and I sleep better at home for it, but everyone is different.
