[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@BlackbournLucy Yes, fabulous collaboration 🤩@EdMaelor & great for @WalesEM trainees, too

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@jackbardwell99 I always advise folk, never judge a specialty on the best bits of the job, as by their nature, everyone loves the best bits. Ask yourself what are the worst bits of the specialty, as when everything is stripped back, that is what you are left with

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@lydiastar5 @jackbardwell99 There’s plenty that go the other way

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@Elbow @TheO2 Not unless @TheCoopLive get their act together, eh @shelleycheff81 ?🤔

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@TheCoopLive any idea what’s happening with @Elbow next Tuesday 14th May? Not heard anything, and we’re (@shelleycheff81) understandably nervous 😬 🤞🏾🙏🏾

[Simon Carley @EMManchester]

If there are any UK based Physician Associates on here can you DM me (asking as Dean of @rcollem)

Just a quick question/request for you.

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@BlackbournLucy @EdMaelor @LindseyBloor @robfenwick Great to have you on board. Can’t wait for you to start, too 😊

[Lucy Blackbourn @BlackbournLucy]

Thrilled to have been appointed to a Locum consultant position @EdMaelor -can’t wait to get started working alongside @LindseyBloor @ash_basu @robfenwick & the rest of the team 😊🎉

Elevated lactate keeps getting misdiagnosed as 'sepsis' or 'ischaemic gut'

Even by smart people in fancy places

So I'm reposting this video so the resus nurses & residents & medical students can help their senior colleagues think beyond these two causes

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

This is abhorrent. Does it go on in other specialties I wonder? I’d like to think it doesn’t in my own, but I dread to think what the real truth is… https://t.co/MTscNHtvG1

[Simon Carley @EMManchester]

At @rcollem we are looking for a new USS chair. Come on you POCUS folks, we know you want to lead POCUS in EM for the next few years :-)

Thanks @NewtonFaulkner for an amazing opening tour gig @the_liverooms. There with @shelleycheff81. Amazing night! Could tell you loved it, too. Love you back ❤️ Glad to see you touring again! It’s where you belong 😁

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@Nuzzzzie @Matsukaze1310 Just also be careful, that if he’s as creepy & unprofessional as he’s behaving, he’ll try to do anything to discredit you in the process, find ways to suggest this is “misinterpretation”, or you being inappropriate with him, esp. if there usually no witnesses

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@Nuzzzzie @Matsukaze1310 This is awful, and needs addressing immediately. Who knows who else this creep is doing this to. Agree with all comments, and so sorry to hear you’re going through this. Keep all evidence. Consider escalating to ES, FPD, DME, MD, HR, BMA

[Simon McCormick @DrSimonMc]

It’s that time of year when a lot of doctors will be asking for help.

Some may be good at it, some may not… both have a patient that needs your input.

Let’s not penalise patients and negatively influence staff by being unhelpful, just to prove a point.

@TessaRDavis ...they just make you worse...😂 - sorry, I’ll get my coat. Seriously, though, salbutamol in bronchiolitis is a massive bugbear of mine

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@cruncherwax @davehartin @COSMakin Could agree more, David. The bigger issue here, I think, is other healthcare professionals who decide to send patients to ED, without thinking is there a more suitable alternative

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@WisniackiFiona @michaelahn94 @2019annhill Too right. Incivility has no place in the workplace @civilitysaves @orangedis #civilitysaveslives #bekind. Question is, is this because the individuals in question are under pressure themselves, or are role modelling other witnessed bad behaviour? 🤔

[Ash Basu @ash_basu]

@QEUHEDWellbeing Love this❤️ Worth having something similar in @EdMaelor @AshUmJo @LindseyBloor ?🤔
