Stop press: sterile gowns are no longer mandatory for spinal anaesthesia.
I’m so proud to have been part of this process trying to simplify our practice, making us efficient, more sustainable without increasing risk

Had my first ever in Devon at Haldon a couple of weeks back, I always struggle with them! Normally have to cross the border North…

If only there had been another reason to decarbonise society, invest in renewables, and electrify the transport system before this crisis
Very sad to hear - such an unusual sighting for Bath too. Any ideas as to what may have happened?
Worst result of such a disappointing season. Worst thing is it felt utterly inevitable.
Completely, inexcusably abject from Liverpool - the worst result of a horrible season. It may well be the case that this league no longer allows you to play good football, but ineffectiveness isn't compulsory, too. How can Arne Slot possibly make the case to stay this summer?
A most excellent cider however.
Anaesthetics training?
Completed it mate.
No, but you can’t have him.
It's this year's Liverpool down to a tee to put on their best, most balanced performance up against a low block all season and still somehow find a way not to win the game. These days can happen, but it's so much harder to justify when you've dropped so many points already.
It’s hard to emphasise this enough. Even I have been popping back to X but the sexualised images and open endorsements of white supremacy should prompt everyone to question what it says to still use X. We must move over to BlueSky (or other alternative).
The time to leave X was ages ago. Here’s your posse on Bluesky here.
Hard to watch US TV media discussing how the US might occupy and run a foreign country as if it’s a perfectly normal political development.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
If one was feeling cynical they would wonder if it's just early this year and fear has been stoked up by the government to put the public against the doctors....
KOTOR games are in my top 10 of all time. This is awesome news.

It would be brutal to sack Slot. He’s managing a group of grieving men. Any wonder they make mistakes? Getting rid of Arne would maybe bring the players down further too. There’s no magic wand for this.
But it’s also hard to know where Liverpool go from here. Loooong season ahead.
Up the Reds.
Robbo crying going down the tunnel. I’ve my complaints about subs and that but fuck me these deserve the ground to stay full until full time you know.
Dream substantive consultant post!! Absolutely, completely made up and can’t wait to start!
Urgent climate action is needed to protect our health.

Cath lab and IR are probably the most challenging environments to give an anaesthetic.
Jesus gave two commandments: love God, love your neighbour.
Everything else hangs on that.
Ask yourself: does MAGA, Reform, or any of the far-right look like love?
Do they lift the poor, forgive the enemy, welcome the stranger?
You can’t wave a Bible with one hand & point a finger with the other.
Glad you found the Ouzels!
Jeff!!!!! Congratulations. What a legend.
The fact that organisations like the WHO have to issue statements, to counter the ramblings of idiots, says a lot about the world we currently live in.
Folks, get the vaccines, take the paracetamol, and don't listen to fools. Here ends today's sermon.
