@DrRobgalloway Had a great year as one of those ED fellows 7 years ago where my wife and I had the same shifts and same AL all year! Amazing department with amazing leadership. Cheers Rob
@_hvh_@AndrewJD I see it’s an option to do an SIA in a year in ICM. I wonder if some DGH are accepting anaesthetics training with an ‘interest’ in icm enough for appointing consultants in both?
@_hvh_@AndrewJD Hans (hey 👋) I did a year of dual and then gave up the ICU. Realistically I didn’t think I could actually be good at 2 increasingly complex specialties (and I didnt want to lose my anaesthetics SIA year. Do you think Dual anaes/ICU should be phased out?
@Davemademedoit@AndrewJD The amount of foundation doctors who get straight into anaesthetics without an f3 year in either ED, ICU or medicine is minuscule, moreover the ones who go through the hassle of dual CCT almost always have significant (enough) medical experience anyway.
When I was a CMT1 I was in a godawful post where I ended up driving to a lake to drown myself after work one late night after finishing.
The Trust's Occupational Health sole suggestion was that I talk to my non existent supervisor "if I was struggling".
Ok. A few bits. Will add a context of intravenous sedation for long bone fracture manipulation as an example. 1. Even when the pre-sedation environment is tense, noisy, loud, etc., speak gently with the patient before you start. Allocate someone to continue to speak smoothly and
