@lufthansa @murphyk18 Same situation. Advised by your “ground staff” that there is no ticket office here so unable to help out with rebooking or arranging hotels. We have been advised that WE need to arrange hotel accommodation/transport/food. Given a leaflet with no information about reimbursement 😡

Would love to see you all at the conference. Please share far and wide 👌

Been doing a lot of chest tube teaching lately. What's that confusing bubbling box on the ground? Here's a new #OnePager on how chest tubes work, as well as a 5-step approach to assessing them. #FOAMed #TipsForNewDocs

Hi, ER Doc here.

RT if you’ve ever done CPR on someone and they survived.

Trying to prove something.

[Rob Herriott @robhezzCCOT]

I used to used Twitter as a place to network and discover new ideas that I’d use at the bedside. Now all I ever see is outrage & abuse to varying members of the MDT, bullying and condemnation of PAs and the like - aren’t we all just trying to deliver better care to our pts? 😔

ICU stories (a brief one): One hour before the end of the am shift, u walk around in the ICU to make sure thinks look OK before u type your sign-out note. You spot the resp therapist & the nurse bagging the pt in Rm 306. From the hallway, u see the monitor: HR 160, RR/45, Sat 70%

The iGel is a great supraglottic airway device

But like other supraglottic airway devices (SAD) it's not foolproof

Here's how to maximise your success with the iGel - a thread 🧵

Paramedic Science people - did you know about amber? This website details research written by staff from the NHS ambulance services in all 4 nations of the UK. Useful for dissertations, as well as all manner of other assignments, I'm sure. The link? https://t.co/shPL2FqW53

[Henry Marsh @DrHenryMarsh]

I am back in the U.K. from Ukraine, safe but sad. Not helped by reading of how operating theatres are standing empty in the U.K. because of lack of staff and beds. 12 years of deliberate neglect by the government will take years to remedy.
