The earth is about to get a little greener thanks to the efforts of the Monash Health Department of Anaesthesia, which has banned the use of the volatile anesthetic desflurane across all of our sites. 🌏

@archiecurium @MonashAnaes @ANZCA @tra2sh1 @PeninsulaHealth Although I'm a Monash trainee to add some confusion...

@ThatClinical I hope that you weren't involved in the care of this child, only to mock their injuries on social media

@ketaminh CFA firefighting fleet in Victoria have night vision available. Recent adoption, previously all aircraft would be grounded at night. Apparently it's easier for the crews to see the flames at night also...

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

As a doctor I have two voices in my head at all times, one that says "I know exactly what I'm doing" and one that says "I have no idea what I'm doing."

They never talk to each other, one just gets louder than the other.

[Will Birkett @willbirkett]

Had the opportunity to be shown some of the cutting edge blast injury research at @TRBL_CBIS by @EmRAshworth. Game changing developments for medical care in this field.

[Will Birkett @willbirkett]
