Just stood a man who hasn’t stood since July 2023.

Mod AO2 with arjo standing hoist!

Safe to say I was more excited than he was 😂

Absolutely buzzing right now.
This is why I love my job 🙌🏽

GONG XI FA CHAI!
I love having a team that jumps in on different cultures and celebrates with me on Chinese New Year!! @RBandH

Happy Chinese New to all!
Wishing you another year of good health and fortune 🥠

8 days in a row with 2 on-calls, and then students coming in day 1 on placement asking questions +++

My brain cannot cope.
Thank god for TOIL days

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

I am a physio today because of this woman! Thank you @AlexHarvey73 🩵

Rehab and Therapies Team Sports Day yesterday was so fun!

Coming to Brompton is up there with one of my best decisions I’ve made this year 🩵✨

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

Love my job but I love the people I get to work with more!

Is it payday yet?

Asking for a friend who has £2.78 in her account left…

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

On day 8 of 11 and I no longer know what day it is anymore 😂

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

Just experienced/witnessed a sustained VT that didn’t compromise BP (she is on 0.25 norad)

This happened around 4 times in the space of 15 minutes.

Wild wild wild wild wild.

Something really satisfying about successfully leading a trache wean

Monthly Huan update.
Look at him thrive!

Might have to bring him a baby sister soon because he’s absolutely thriving in here 🪴

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

@CariadFfisio For me, depending on the time of day. It makes me feel safe. I sometimes put them in so people think I’m listening to something but I’m not and I can still hear my surroundings (useful when you’re a solo female trying to get home late at night)

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

When you’ve literally had the day from hell, had 2 mental breakdowns but you’ve got the best colleagues looking out for you 🥹

So glad it’s the weekend and the sun in shining ☀️

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

It always hits a little different when the medical team choose to withdraw care and the patient is a similar age to you

No matter how long you’ve been expose to this environment, somethings just don’t get any easier

When you cough assist for the first time and this flies through the ETT and the tubing 😂

All the physios responded with “😍”
All the doctors and nurses “🤢”

We are a different breed of healthcare workers for loving phlegm

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

@BreathePhysio @thecsp @TheACPRC I’ve signed up for the surgery course in September already 😊

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

Dear @thecsp,

Please could we be more inclusive of other areas of Physiotherapy and include more respiratory and Neuro courses 🥹🙏🏽 (and not just MSK/Sport injuries)

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

Managed to avoid middle of the night call outs for my whole physio career until now.

It’s 5.35am, I just got back into bed.
I start again at 8.45am.

Do I even go back to sleep?

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

Dear medical staff on my Twitter…

What does “aggressive” Physiotherapy even mean?!

Because I have zero plans on shouting/punching my patients anytime soon…

Made a lemon drizzle for work today, but forgot to take a picture.

As I’m the “baking physio”, just letting you know that I did in fact bake for the team 😂

[Nuriah Haleem @thebakingphysio]

What a day!
My patient who was on VV-ECMO, who had a poor prognosis of being decanulated off it…

Not only was he decanulated 2 weeks ago but today we walked for the first time today for 10m with frame + AO2!

I. Am. BUZZINGGGGGG

Now to just wean him off his trache 🙏🏽
