@KirstyChallen @TheSnoozeDoctor @davehartin Tried to see a bunch of ‘quick wins’ at work (EM Cons) yesterday - triage said quick win, actual history and exam said v poorly, massive social issues, lots of Ix etc etc. Our specialty is a specialty for a reason - not everyone can rock up and do it!!!

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @KirstyChallen @MetanephrosDoc @TheSnoozeDoctor @davehartin Recently CCTd EM cons here - would crack on with any HALO procedure as needed. Have (unfortunately) done a resus hysterotomy as HST - would rather not it again tbh. So no, I know how, and would make the decision to do it, which is often the stumbling block.

Emergency Medicine depends on collaboration.

When the ED calls you, here’s what you can do to be a great consultant (by request). 🧵

@walsh_joe @olihtweet @traitorlytics Ha! So true! Need a traitors fan as your rota co-ordinator. You should definitely fill the form in!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@chochlo @IvanBrett Ooh @traitorlytics what do you say to this?!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@IvanBrett Agree. What does my husband @traitorlytics say to that!!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@traitorlytics What about Dan and Alexander, and fozia and Leanne? Missed a few connections here I think

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

Catching up on last nights Traitors, and sending my husband @traitorlytics a running commentary of my thoughts!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@davethegp @AbbieTBee Totally agree - whatever you prefer. I’m just Caroline to everyone! Officially Dr Turner… but that sounds like my grandad! Been married 11 years, haven’t changed it - Dr Gilfillan is my father in law not me!!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@AbbieTBee It’s really difficult, I suppose lots of empathy, check they do have the right referrals in place, good letters to GP, and acceptance that they might come back!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@doctor_dru_ Not just non-medical staff - I’ve been asked to do BLS by another trust… because my in date ALS isn’t proof enough (and the fact that I’m an EM ST6…!)

@LaurenMoore113 Welcome to Yorkshire! Also a Leeds grad, and still here, happy to be DMed if you want any housing/hospital advice!!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

@AlexNevard Radial head. Got knocked down on my way home from LGI yesterday. I’m ok, just achey and sore!

[Caroline Turner @carolinecturner]

New empathy for patients with broken bones now… it’s pretty painful!
Drivers of Leeds, please take a bit more care and look out for cyclists!!
