Please support our new resident docs. They are our future.

[Zack Ferguson @zackferguson]

August weekends are absolutely critical for recruitment of future physicians. Support an FY1 on call for medicine this weekend and they’ll be the med reg four years from now. Ignore, berate, abuse or bully them and they’ll (rightly) go elsewhere. Be the right kind of kind please.

Palliative medicine not just death and dying - examples from practice:
Anti-depressant cross titration, ketamine intravenous infusions, tranexamic acid infusion, methadone cross titration, central post stroke pain management, sativex for spasticity, interventional cancer pain techniques, hypoadrenalism, chronic non-cancer pain, dystonia, MND and Parkinson’s symptom control, rotigotine patch conversions, needle phobia, octreotide infusion conversion to depot lanreotide, CBD drug interactions, diabetic control on steroids, chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy, clondine bridging for pain crisis, prescribing in substance misuse, paracentesis, scut betablocker for symptomatic SVT, delirium, managing sweating or fever secondary to cancers, home oxygen ordering, managing itch/dysaesthesia, IV bisphosphonates, acupuncture, transmucosal drug administration, spinal cord compression management, prophylactic fixation of long bone metastases, vertebroplasty, cordotomy, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, syringe driver compatibility, dysgeusia resolved with zinc, creon shortages…… that’s just some of the medical side… the care and close interactions with patients are the really enjoyable parts.
Palliative care as a medical career will keep you up to date and innovative as a doctor if you are in the right setting. Yes we look after people who are dying but being “made palliative” is an escalation in care and attention if truly done well.

@Paul_Howard_IoW @ShaunLintern It would only be better if we had a service whereby community clinicians could actually attend in a timely manner.
