Almost forgot about this podcast interview with #GP trainer Avril Danczak exploring a range of topics around uncertainty in medicine, from investigations, communications, and shared decision making. Check it out:

Signed this copy of Scars & Stains in MFT library. Thanks for adding to your collection!

Love how on this Mayo clinic book, faith and hope come before science.

Presented prize-winning essay, toured Mayo clinic, saw Gibbons CPB machine I mentioned in talk, met some fantastic colleagues, made professional connections.

Great day at Anesthesia History Assoc meeting!

Opening quote for my essay Rivers of Life that won the Anesthesia History Association competition. Explores 3 “streams” of circulation in life support, challenges Eurocentric origins of CPR, and raises esoteric Qs about survival.

Great to see this published @elsevierconnect.bsky.social after lots of work with @dyslexicmedic.bsky.social.

Almost 20 pages of drug tables, pathways, and peri operative guidances. Just look at these beautiful diagrams. Fantastic resource for exam prep!

AIRWAY. BREATHING. CIRCULATION. DISABILITY. EXPOSURE. Perhaps five of the most misunderstood words in life support.

Why Dean Karlan, chief economist of USAID, resigned this week He was hired in 2022 so the aid agency could get 'more bang for our buck' with its projects. He tried to reach out to help in the rebuilding of the agency. On Tuesday he tendered his resignation.

Sure did! Thanks!

My favourite post nights food! Makes me (and my girls) very happy :)

And when dipping sauce is homemade tamari it is even better.

Interesting the need for a beating heart has been challenged by some forms of extracorporeal support technologies. Fascinating histories. Does divert from the heart-centred physiology of old, but raises own issues

Thanks! Not yet but working on it. I’ll be presenting it at the AHA conference in Mayo Clinic, MN in April! Exciting!
