Say hello to (and follow!) my new Bot, released into the wild today. It tweets out crowd-sourced noteworthy critical care/anaesthesia/acute/emergency medicine trials and reviews twice a day into your feed: @OLS_Bot (1/4)

@VirtueOfNothing Who did it better 💅

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@dr_km_ Aorta know better

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@keep_sketch are you a spinal cord injury because you left me priapic with no sphincter tone

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@clare_eliza @TharushaGunawa4 Are you the colorectal CT2 or are you

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@DrRobbieErskine They don't *need* to. Because (like everything) it was never planned to be like this, it's an accident of history and a hangover from another time.

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@DrNeilStone It’s not really good for people with high follower counts like you as you wont be able to recreate your experience on that software.

@peteneville65 @JonesTheGas @docdai @WelshGasDoc @drp297 double balloon enteroscopy or submucosal resection takes boring to another level - a good test of how quick the endoscopist is whether I can finish the metro cryptic by the first case

@dannyjnwong The 'not suturing art lines in ICU'
is still heresy though.

@cliffreid Went home three hours later

I have no rage against The Elon, it just seems like a moment to try another platform, to try and find a sense of community I never really got here.
If twitter really does become the town square, I’ll continue to walk through it to hear what those on their soapboxes have to say!

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

If I’m honest I have never really 'got' twitter. I was a late adopter & not had many good interactions or friendships, unlike online communities in the 90s/00s.
The most interaction I ever had was from a photo of a squirrel, not from any discussions - serious or otherwise.

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

But, I have benefitted from a huge range of life changing educational people and resources. I have learnt so much, both in and outside of medicine.
I have no intention of leaving twitter, just change how I use it. I’m going to treat twitter more like a passive news feed.

@juliaisobela @jack_holroyde That's big tech's business model, make it too hard to own your own data/photos/memories/relationships, to make it as hard as possible to leave https://t.co/d3jAoJ3v3g

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@Medic_Russell @DrDanPB @MAS I seem to be able to generate invites on https://t.co/NJf0l02nWP , although https://t.co/Am7pgTwzHj also seems to be open to new users

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@NickFerran @RoshanaMN Do you think there would be enough #medtwitter people who would be interested in a medics only mastodon instance?

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@mosmi Neither/nor

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@DrDLittle Every month religiously! After you’ve been caught out enough times you’ll never trust it is correct.

@WhistlingDixie4 @VirtueOfNothing That was the new single ‘Happy Now’ by The Failed Physicians from their forthcoming album Oriel Is My Destiny

[Jimothy 🐢 @jimothysocks]

@VirtueOfNothing @WhistlingDixie4 In reality I am an anaesthetist because of exactly the same issue - my plan to dual resp/ICM was scuppered by oriel. But I’m happy now.
