@EM_RESUS Sneezed with eyes open and brain flew out sockets. Never sneeze without shutting your eyes.

@afragmentedself @wendyburn Yes I agree this is important. For example, if you belong to a professional body must you declare it under fitness to practice?

@AmandaWjustme @rahttled_doc @Medic_Russell A “how to make comments or complaints” leaflet creates a seal and several of them to mop up any spills in the process of inverting?

Half term homework …it’s very good 😊 I like the juxtaposition of viewpoints @Daltmann10 @gezmedinger

[Kara Lau @ytk_lau]

It's been a really tough week in the ICU, and a particularly humbling one. I've had to reorient a little bit in thinking about the end-of-life and my incorrect imposition of my own narrative as a physician serving as a "steward" or "guide" in the dying journey... (1/12)

My absolutely amazing dad would have been 75 today. Unfortunately on 05/05/98 he took his own life. I miss him every day. Please remember that however desperate you are, try and talk to someone. Anyone. Love you dad. #SuicidePrevention
