My Anti-To-Do List

(15 things I want to avoid on a daily basis)

1. Do not complain about anything.

If the thing is within your control, then go do something about it. If the thing is out of your control, then it's just a waste of energy to complain about it.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Today is my 40th birthday. Here are all the things that I know at 40 which I wish I knew at 20.

Starting with…

1. Your relationship with others is a direct reflection of your relationship with yourself. If you treat yourself poorly, then you will unconsciously seek out and tolerate others who treat you poorly. If you treat yourself with dignity and respect, then you will only tolerate others who treat you with dignity and respect.

Get right with yourself. Get right with the world.

For all my fellow paramedic students, here’s the new UKST/NICE pre-hospital sepsis screening tool for under 5’s👇🏼

I love that parental concern alone is recognised as an amber flag🙏🏻

For all other age groups and sepsis in pregnancy, here’s the link

59% of paramedics are male & are 3x at risk of attempt/complete suicide than other male health professionals & general population. Specifically discussing men's mental health in the ambulance service can save lives #ForOurMen

I have just finished another set of incredibly difficult weekend nights as the A&E consultant incharge.

Some thoughts:

The NHS no longer provides unscheduled care - we provide treatment. Care is with dignity - that's impossible for our patients in corridors.

The model of acute care is not working or sustainable. We need a completely different approach - with long term investment in prevention and community care

111 need to change risk thresholds as far too many come to a&e when they don't need to.

There needs to be alternative pathways to get care overnight for those who don't have accidents or emergencies. A&E shouldn't be anything and everything

Staff are broke - supporting staff is just as vital as looking after patients

This government have totally decimated our the NHS. They are the ones who should be apologising to our patients not our staff.

Hundreds are dying each week because of lack of hospital capacity and corridor care in a&e, yet it's not on the news and no public uproar. As staff and patients we have accepted the unacceptable.

Everyone needs to know the reality of what is happening - so that politicians offer a different solution and patients get the care they deserve. Sadly most of the public have no idea of what is genuinely going on.

And finally, a post night fry up is the best antidote for the stresses of the weekend. Goodnight!

Things I'm doing at 44 to avoid regret when I'm 84:

The Feynman Technique is a method of learning I love to use.

I have used this technique for understanding complex Paramedic topics, skills & conditions.

This technique helps to break down any complex topics into simple bitesize concepts that can be easily explained.

@TheLeeMcLaren Paediatric care sounds like great fun. I’ve never learned much about paediatrics apart from some generic first aid courses over the years. However my kids have reversed the roles and have applied some very surreal looking bandages to my arm for ‘practice’ a few times. 😂

If your struggling to motivate yourself to write that next essay, remember:

If you can’t write 200 words, write 100 words.

If you can’t write 100 words, write 10 words.

If you can’t write 10 words, write 1 word.

It’s better to start small, than to not start at all.

[Benjamin Roy @BRoy1234]

@TheLeeMcLaren That genuinely sounds really interesting! I love it. Again, I wish you the best of luck on your dissertation and let us all know how you get on!

Hopefully a couple of days off at the weekend to relax after the tough week ahead?!

[Benjamin Roy @BRoy1234]

@TheLeeMcLaren I’m sure you’ll do great! We can only try our best in this life.

What is the topic if you don’t mind me asking? ☺️

[Benjamin Roy @BRoy1234]

@TheLeeMcLaren Ohhh excellent! Best of luck to you for your dissertation. How are you feeling about it? 😁

[Benjamin Roy @BRoy1234]

@TheLeeMcLaren I really appreciate that, Lee. Thank you! Hope you’re having a great start to your week.
