Poor @elephantonabike.bsky.social Diarmuid, he was minding his own business when I pushed in and took a selfie.
Another who probably thinks I am insane but smiles politely.
Lovely person who is a great supporter of @bsky.app

I found the lovely @hypoxicchicken.medsky.social and squished him to death in a hug.
What a gorgeous man.
I have permission from spouse @urethroplasty.bsky.social to hug him but probably not to death,
Mwah and sorry I broke rubs with the hug.

Then out of the blue I found myself next to @lightfootsj.bsky.social the lovely Dr Magpie.
Poor man I was more excited than he, when his paper was acknowledged.
Sorry I broke your arm from squeezing in excitement.

Last speaker was Dr Debra Leung who presented using a nominal group to develop clinical practise guidance for shared decision making in surgery.
A super smart and elegant study, she managed to get a group of people to agree on something.
Best on ground IMO

Number 4 speaker was Dr Ned Douglas on physiological drivers of hypotension after vascular surgery.
Ned is doing a PhD and this was part of it.
Super smart and super interesting.

Ok #MedSky and #AnSky this is part 2 of my last day at our major anaesthetic conference #ASM25CNS in Cairns.
A supposedly sunny part of Far North Queensland.
Naturally it rained every day constantly.
It was a sensational conference, raincoats on xx

Thank you to ANZCA for a fantastic ASM in Cairns and for your continued support of global anaesthesia.

It was wonderful to have Tony Gin and WFSA Past-President Wayne Morriss attending and representing the WCA and WFSA communities.

Next was Dr Evelyn Waugh, a quietly spoken person who has a heart of gold. She is bringing pre op assessment to the people.
Most poignant was the story of the chap who travelled 28 hours to get to his appointment.
We need to get out and travel. Who’s with me?

Imagine getting through labour and then there’s a PPH.
Great tips to avoid more problems.
I was getting palpitations at this stage.
If I am ever heard saying I want to do Obs in Darwin, you know I have been kidnapped.

Treatment and pre planning was next.
This is an amazing team of super smart people.
The cultural considerations were really educational for me.
We need to understand the distances involved and the multiple languages spoken.

We went on the ugly and it’s messy.
Like a blocked sink, which I thought was the perfect analogy.
Imagine being so far from a major centre and this women walks through the door. Yikes.

Next he spoke about the good, bad and the ugly.
Matthew puts the cool in cucumber, I doubt much worries him.
Honestly I could hear the theme music from the film but wait it gets worse 😫

His talk on mitral valve disease was really interesting.
I am going to post his entire talk.
The stats on First Nations women and RHD is very scary.

I arrived early to the first session and sat down next a nice young man.
We had a chat and I suggested he come and get some more training in Adelaide.
Being the interrogator I am found it he was a consultant.
Who could he be??
