@dieracg @drokane @anaesthetic_spr Yep, have seen that terminate VT storm when all else failed.

Adolescent males dont need:
1. To be told their masculinity is "toxic".
2. To be banned from social media.
3. To have their feelings condemned or dismissed.

Listen to them, be proud of them, and love them as males. Then they'll become the men we want them to be. 4/4 #Adolescence

Pleased to have this up on bioRxiv! It was borne of my obsession with the idea of immune profiling to identify antigens in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), and while this hasn't yet been peer reviewed we think we can prove it is feasible. 1/

@DoctorFox83 It will come round before you know it. Not sure if that’s comforting or alarming for you to hear.

[Greg Morris @docgregmo]

@DoctorFox83 Yep, consultant life is good. Three years now 😱, time does fly. You getting to the end of the tunnel?

[Greg Morris @docgregmo]

@DoctorFox83 Congratulations, that must feel great!

@DrHannahLunch I know it won’t be much reassurance at the moment, but these problems are almost always sorted. Whatever has happened, you won’t be the first person it’s happened to. CS’s go off sick, other leave etc, and people still get through ARCP. ES and Med Ed will be able to sort.

@glurcher @scrivvyfloor @dr_lungs @sh_abbers @dannyjnwong @pcricoarytenoid @ABarotchi1 Overall there are fewer chest drains to go round the docs we have. Patients with malignancy who would have come in for recurrent chest drains are now often given an IPC. Med SHO can get competent by reg years though.

@PMccoubrie @NotoriousB_E_G @drcolinm @gmcuk Thank you for putting this more clearly and eloquently than I could. I am amazed that after over 500 years of trying to build knowledge and define what docs should know, there is an attempt to strip it down to its bare bones. It smacks of vandalism and reckless experimentation.

@Jopo_dr Almost every patient I come across with features to suggest that they drink alcohol is open about the fact they drink it. Doesn’t seem to be any real stigma around consuming alcohol in the North East for vast majority of people. Still stigma RE dependence.

@KeepGoinEoin I will never understand the weird obsession with stopping women having suitable pain relief during and after labour. Who does this approach actually benefit?

[Greg Morris @docgregmo]

For what ever it’s worth we found the maternity service at JCUH excellent during the birth of our son last year. Fantastic midwifery, anaesthetics and obstetric teams. Clear communication with us throughout. We would feel safe and comfortable going again. https://t.co/QNfksarkRc

@DrGoblin3 Not harmful to most patients or staff, but you probably don’t want anyone with COPD catching it.

@KeepGoinEoin Personal highlight from med reg years was an ED consultant overnight telling me someone who had just arrived in the ambulance bay was ‘very sick, might need you to look’. Was surprised that the cons in Emergency Medicine didn’t fancy having a crack at that themselves.

[Greg Morris @docgregmo]

@ShivaniM_KC Time to introduce ‘Furious regards’ as a sign off?

[Greg Morris @docgregmo]

@KeepGoinEoin Agree, it’s a zombie idea that keeps cropping up every year even though it doesn’t do anything to help. In the same way I wouldn’t think fining people for DIY accidents or contact sports injuries is a good idea.
