We’ve reached the stage of paternity leave tiredness of pouring the milk on the tea bag rather than the boiling water

I don’t understand when @SteveBarclay says our pay demands are unaffordable. Can’t we take it for the £350m per week that was promised #PayRestoration

Somewhere there’s an ICU consultant leaving handover & saying to their colleague acting down “feel free to cope” and chuckling

Should be staying up late pre-nights, but instead getting to bed early to be on the picket. Huge thanks to the supportive consultant ICU body at @LivHospitals, your letter to trainees made us feel very valued

Looking forward to making a protest for #PayRestoration. The estimate for paying junior doctors what they were paid in 2008 is ~1% of the budget for HS2

Just received my Associate PI certificate for @UKRoxTrial at Aintree ICU @LivHospitals. An excellent example of embedding pragmatic research into everyday ICU care. Thanks to Sash, Ben, Ian & the team there for supporting me!

One of those defining dad moments yesterday - flew with toddler alone. She projectile vomited all over herself on the transfer. Stressful complete airport change whilst late for plane. Then on the plane covered herself & me in vomit. She had a spare pair of clothes… I did not

Last Aintree shift, at least for now. Been a pleasure @TimAstles @benjamesmorton @beercrit et al. Now back to the (new) old stomping ground & maybe @LawrenceMcCros3 will start talking to me again!

A patient’s family couldn’t remember my name so described me to the bedside nurse as the “blonde jack whitehall”… so that’s good.

Yes this happens occasionally... however
Soiled airway impacted DL & VL equally
VL therefore retains its superiority even in soiled airway
FPS clean soiled
VL 91% 81%
DL 75% 65%
RR VL success
Clean 1.21
Soiled 1.24

Had to work out the size for a paeds tube and all I could think of was “half your age plus 7”… which I think is a different formula…

#NYETeamNightshift Don’t be the person to say “see you next year” after evening handover. You’re better than that.
