@NikkiCrust It’s a completely acceptable alternative. For various reasons, I feel like trained anaesthetists (as opposed to non-anaesthetic background ICM, ED or PHEM) should be trained and able to use both. A number of consultants I know are now using VL as their first choice.
@TomPMarshall@DrLKVaughan The NHS onboarding process of hundreds of juniors each rotation springs to mind. Should we make one form and one point of contact? No, let’s make each doctor fill in 10 forms and email them each to separate departments. If only I got paid for filling in HR forms!
@ARISS_Intl I had my first attempt at listening to the ISS FM repeater today with some success! I think a bit more listening then I’ll try for a QSO! 73 de 2E0HGY
@LarcombePeter@davidnnaumann If only there were 350 anaesthetists without jobs ready and willing to start training who could be consultants in 4 years… oh wait…
@criticalgassing @RobJimFleming @felicitydevere@RCoANews You can apply for ICM training after anaesthetics core training and also some slightly unusual ones like Aerospace medicine. I suspect it was decoupled to persuade some people who would otherwise have continued straight through anaesthetics to do ICM.
@ujwaliofficial @peacocks000eyes @DrBenLovell Once got called to a pigeon on ICU. I arrived at the same time as the (terrifying) ICU sister who in one movement grabbed it by the legs and threw it out the window.
