@TheEMboardround Yes just apply for DREEM ST3 EM and switch after ST2. Can be done.

@RadRadDoc @albertoortegana @docakx @Dr_Shiv_kumar_ @DrMedica_13 @drobiy12 @shakilED @hemo_shk Although what’s interesting is the image itself doesn’t seem to be purely AI generated. This is from 2022. Clearly AI is used in some way leading to the abnormalities we’re seeing but I wonder why?

Interesting stuff. Non surgical tx of traumatic pericardial bleed under battlefield conditions

@EastRenAsks @glurcher @alexmassie Top end of the resident pay scale is 12.5%

@medicalmodelbri @CiaraMcMillan4 @The_HCPC Obviously there’s issues - maybe I’m too far up “the ladder” to see them but I think medicine is a fantastic career still!

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@Existential_Doc Is there an advantage of hyoscine butylbromide vs glyco given neither cross BBB?

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@muskonomy @deek_aka @MarioNawfal This really is a triumph of marketing over sector knowledge. A “robotic” surgery sounds like it’s an autonomous device but it’s just posh laparoscopic surgery requiring 2 human surgeons to operate it. It’s great but definitely not a robot “doing” it!

@PedroOscarRCun1 @DrEilidhMaria One imagines for an unemployed 17/18 year old with no income, credit score or assets borrowing such a large sum of money wouldn’t be feasible

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@suxxamethonium @jackbardwell99 Fair enough. Let me rephrase - what I think are the best bits.

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@dieracg @jackbardwell99 The consultant supervision in anaesthetics is indeed excellent. The converse of this is you are put in a management/leadership role at an early stage in EM with lots of autonomy and responsibility. ST4 onwards you get 8 hours/week SPA time to study, teach, theatre or clinic etc

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@dieracg @jackbardwell99 I’m glad it’s a good fit for you! I couldn’t do it for my whole career.

I know many EM consultants very happy in their jobs. It’s about finding the right fit for the person

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@coollyndz @DrRJWebb @LeDyslexicMedic @CriticalCareWWL @WWLNHS Many resus rooms don’t have volatile anaesthesia capability.

@cardiacjoshi @jabberwock951 @VirtueOfNothing @TheEMboardround Thanks for the info. Do you have a link to that guideline? This BSE guidelines seem to suggest echoing.

@VirtueOfNothing @TheEMboardround Last patient like this I referred to SDEC they said they didn’t want to see them and didn’t want to do an echo etc

@MrGazEllis @BohemianAtmosp1 All blood is throughly tested in the modern setting and extremely safe. It is of course your choice to decline that gift.

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@monkeymonk2012 @BohemianAtmosp1 In departments that offer this, there are larger posters all over explaining it is an optional service. It’s recommended nationally in the UK for areas where the rates of HIV are sufficiently high (>1 in 500 people).

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@MrGazEllis @BohemianAtmosp1 Of course, over 90% of the UK is vaccinated against Covid. It has no impact on your ability to donate blood.

@Strat_attack @ChaponaBike123 Although for a single isolated seizure this would only be 6 months compared with a likely longer ban for careless driving

[Edward Bezant @EBezant]

@TechnicalVault @aramando @entrigant @ChaponaBike123 This is 100% correct
