Should this form part of the consent process before surgery/ anaesthesia? Especially perhaps in the maternal request cohort in which there is a genuine alternative to surgery?

He has always struck me as a diplomat, he appears comfortable operating on the international stage but as a PM, too naive, too trusting and not “streetwise” enough to work in the House and alongside the Civil Service - sad when it’s really, his job.

Everything is very superficial (usually!!) and even a 22g needle looks huge in a child.

Children do well with blocks for analgesia (that’s my ortho practice) but seldom can you achieve anything without a GA.

Interested to see “easy” thyroids being done with RA now. But otherwise, I agree a lot of things above the clavicles are challenging with RA alone.

£550 compensation for 2 missing devices? Are they really worth so little? In which case, it explains why mine functions so badly!

I have been stuck at 4.9k followers for a week, and it is killing me. I'm witty, irreverent, I post nice pictures of loaves of bread, flowers and butterflies. I am happy to beg for a few more followers if needed to get to 5k. I have precious little shame.

By it has been. We have “offices” nursing roles and consultant rota allocations to this activity. Until we have capacity within the NHS - both in primary and secondary care, corridor care will remain an established part of life.

Yes! Easy access to vaccination slots, coming into the workplace to vaccinate and incentivisation!

Key issue for discussion! Was a brontosaurus ever capable of vomiting? Are lizards capable of vomiting? So many questions before this can be passed as fact.

Access to vaccination is a huge issue. Flu at GP (easy, invited to come as I am in a high risk group) Then hunt a pharmacy that can give COVID (near impossible). Trust vaccination hit/ miss. I had my appointment cancelled at short notice as they had run out of vaccine.

@hannahpeel.bsky.social Talk of hiding in plain view or having a man-look, fortunate to “trip over” your show last night. A fabulous compilation of great music complete with the sublime “Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis”. Converted!

Epidurals in labour - a lifesaver? — Dr Helgi

This sounds like the crappy “4-week” cold that I am emerging from. Consider it one of the undisclosed benefits of working in the NHS.
