My favourite video of upset Spuds so far...

In this month’s excellent #BJAEd Editors’ choice article, Maghami & colleagues outline the key considerations for using peripheral nerve catheters for regional anaesthesia. www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

I recently reviewed a pt who had anaphylaxis to atracurium (30 years ago), and was also found to be allergic to vecuroniun (skin test).

Yeah but if you take away all the set piece goals we've scored Arteta should have been sacked already.

Colleage: 'Have you had a good birthday so far?'
