Interesting comment from Prof Plant. Once upon a time the surgeon was the curator and custodian of the physiological response to injury and surgery. Have they given up that role now? (I paraphrased slightly). #AnSky #SurgSky #GeriSky

#AAAIGSConf First up - Prof Liam Plant on perioperative fluid management. 'We don't allow the surgeon to touch the robot without hours of training, but any bozo can prescribe iv fluids.'
