In toxic cultures, being a workaholic is normalized and sacrificing sleep is glorified. The best way to get ahead is to burn out.

In healthy cultures, quality of life is expected and having a life is celebrated. You're encouraged to put your well-being above your work.

@dremmayoung Just put my Sonicare up against my guitar tuner, it reads 470 Hz, not too far off of the recommended 512 Hz 🙂

New changes to the highway code. 🤔 But honestly…when cycling I think the best way to avoid a left or a right hook is to stay behind the leading car.

Sunset at Taipei Medical University Hospital

Days later, as I round in the hospital, I find myself glancing at his room number when I walk past it.

Remembering.

The longer you practice medicine, the more faces never leave you. The more memories linger.

“What did it take?”

Nothing at all.

Time.

Every last thing.

@amy_kyle Look up what the Chinese character for 7 looks like. 🙂

Five quick tweets on the new variant B.1.1.529

Caveat first: data here is *very* preliminary, so everything could change. Nonetheless, better safe than sorry.

1) Based on the data we have, this variant is out-competing others *far* faster than Beta and even Delta did 🚩🚩

Check out our RespectED anti-bullying campaign video below. We're raising awareness of bullying, harassment and incivility in Emergency Departments and aim to empower all to speak up when they are targeted or witness this appalling behaviour.

Protocolized use of #POCUS in the ward (by rapid response team in this study) may improve the proportion of adequate diagnosis, time to initial treatment & perhaps survival of patients developing acute respiratory or circulatory failure.

This week in ICU, we’ve got a lot of COVID- currently around half our level 3 (ventilator) beds are filled with patients with COVID. A lot of the patients are double vaccinated, and pressures are rising from other conditions.

We're back! This promises to educate, entertain and stimulate. We have some truly outstanding speakers. @NCCUCambridge @RMeiserStedman @DrNickCrombie @francoise_shep @SocraticEM @ldnvrn @vfjn2 @AddiesEd @CambridgeEmerg1

48553 cases today. 100 more patients in ICU with covid19 than 5days ago. No one talking about covid length of stay so I will.
Median ICU stay:-
Heart/major cancer surgery 1-2d
Covid (not ventilated) 5d
Covid (ventilated) 20d
Covid (kidney support) 32d
Do the maths
