Hey @maxrushden.bsky.social we are going to win the world cup!

@maxrushden.bsky.social @phlaimeaux.bsky.social cant help feeling you two are in some way responsible for this. So much for the sponsorship deal.

The worrying thing is people in power are listening to these tech bros and believing them.

They only financially make sense with one consultant supervising 3 AAs. I haven't worked at a hospital that could regularly produce 6 lists a day with only ASA 1/2 Patients and put them in theatres near enough to each other to make that work.

I start most people on 0.5 to see what happens. If they stop talking and close their eyes then about 2 is a good starting point. If they don't even notice it's probably 3.5+. I use a decent amount of fentanyl bolus for most cases and run remi at 2-3 as propofol sparing adjunct.

I moved to eleveld 18 months ago. I really like it. I find numbers needed more consistent between patients. Did find they were getting a little light after an hour and a half though. But always use sedline. Try to always use it for remi too.

I'd want a chloroprocaine spinal esp for a swap.

People often talk about the time critical nature of sepsis. But it may surprise you to hear that the evidence to support “early” antibiotics actually isn't a settled debate. Why is that? The key question is “early in relation to what”? 🧵 1/n

Listened today. Really great podcast.

Having a good aged care physician is worth its weight in gold in these circumstances. @lucypgeridoc.bsky.social was amazing at these conversations.

Seen a few families in ITU a week later seriously regretting what the pushed for "they wouldn't have wanted THIS". It's a failure of us to explain the misery and futility of a lot of what we can do.

My daughter is desperate for a cheese fondue. Could I have your recipe please.

This is unbelievable. You could imagine this happening in the 70s but in London in 2024 it's truly astonishing and depressing.
