Anaesthetist, wife and mummy. By day putting patients to sleep, by night attempting to put my kids to sleep (and often failing)!

Get dressed, ye merry gentlemen, let nothing ye dismay! For it is Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. Christmas, Christmas Day! It’s Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Day… It is Chri-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-histmas day, Chrissymas Day, it is Chriiiiiiiistmas Day!

Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant and is still considered the safest choice of pain relief during pregnancy.

There is no evidence it causes autism in children.

@maherliam16 @_DylanHamilton_ @caraposting The problem with this is that you have no idea what is actually being said. You can have family members trying to protect their loved one from hearing things that will upset them. They can have different agendas to the patient.

@JossSheldon Love the title Other Worlds Were Possible. Almost a science fiction dystopian novel written in the 30s kinda thing. Going to ask empty eldest if he wants your current one as an early birthday present. He loves his politics but is in his last year of A Levels so busy

For those at the back… it’s not just SATH. Corridor care is endemic throughout the NHS and most EDs struggle with space to give their patients dignity. 48hrs in a chair/ waiting room is not isolated either.

This is very much on the government and choices made by hospital execs.

My reflections on healthcare this bank holiday weekend are pretty bleak… every team/ speciality is overwhelmed, there is no redundancy in the system and most of us are relying on luck to avoid disasters. This really isn’t sustainable into winter.

[Heather Lynes @heth_lynes]

@jmesillett @AnthonyNolan Well done x

[Heather Lynes @heth_lynes]

@jmesillett @AnthonyNolan Just the swim to do now!

[Jamie Sillett @jmesillett]

Doing a little swim this summer… if you can spare anything to sponsor me that would be great. I’m swimming in memory of my mum who does 9 years ago from Leukaemia.
