Loving the new Apple Intelligence Mail “priority” update. And by loving, of course I mean hating. First thing it confidently prioritised was a scam ATO email. Fab.

And involving 6/12 anaesthetics? Dream reg job!

Dare I say it… Microsoft Authenticator is working as intended? Does this signal the End Times?

I’m sorry but 128/74 is absolutely a made up BP.

I'm sorry but I don't think I have the emotional resilience for a fourth season of the White Lotus.

I’m updating orientation slides and pondering the best ABCD for ED. Airway, Bedslip, Coffee has been a favourite for years. But also quite partial to the below…

“I would be happy to help your loved one onto the bedside commode but I’m an AI nurse, I’m all thumbs. No literally, I have 13 thumbs”

TT changed the game when it came to advocacy on social media. That algorithm made it easier than ever to get your message to millions of people, regardless of follower count. Real change in healthcare has happened on several occasions in part because of TikTok. This is a big loss in a lot of ways.

Sending all strength to the ED team at the Royal Oldham Every ED staff member in the country lives in fear of this happening to us. It is heartbreaking that our fears have been realised and this poor colleague in Oldham has been injured so severely Sending all wishes for their full recovery

I was content to let the large huntsman in my letterbox live But alas He/she is guarding a large eggsac

I’ve just discovered Ranger Station 76 on TikTok and it’s incredible! I don’t understand how it has such little views. Definite @nightvaleradio.bsky.social vibes. Go check them out! vt.tiktok.com/ZS65H1owA/

Sitting outside after finishing a run of shifts, reflecting on my recent resus cases with variable outcomes/some insuccesses. Doom scrolling whilst pondering my slightly wilting agapanthuses, and came across this. Rohin - I greatly appreciated your 5am meditations! Well worth the watch.

This is exactly the correct tone and attitude to adopt when addressing antivaxxers and their pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo.

2024: be gay do crimes 2025: malfunction and destroy civilizations

<looks around at 'civilization' just now> 🥴 I think it could do with a bit more 'malfunctioning' frankly. And not just by women.

Favourite ID note I’ve spotted in the wild: “surprisingly, this actually IS bilateral cellulitis”

I appreciate the simplicity and complexity of an ECG. It tells you everything with no words, like why this person eventually got a defibrillator.

She’s gorgeous but so incredibly dumb. She can’t figure out how to open the door so sits there and wails at me.

It Has Been Foretold.

Oh great Oracle magic 8 ball will AI bring about the downfall of man? ✨🔮✨

This is the way!

My fave icebreaker is 'let's do some brief introductions.' The #MedEd pitfall of many 'icebreakers' is they are unrelated to what follows, add extraneous cognitive load, and can make people deeply uncomfortable (introverts, neurodiverse, CALD etc) which all works against subsequent learning.

An ode to something heinous. When someone asks me to state an interesting fact about myself, or “two truths and a lie”, I panic and if you could read my thoughts it would just be “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH”.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

Little push dose pressor reminder. Might look like that pre-made metaraminol syringe, but needs dilution before IV bolusing!

Merry Christmas to everyone except the toddler whom, upon being waved “bye” to by myself, stared me straight in the eye, turned and waved “bye” at my med student, and toddled out of the room without a backwards glance at me.

Today’s patient encounter reaffirmed the importance of quality beauty sleep. After a busy late-early shift turnover, I regret to report that a patient accurately guessed my age.

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

Me too

The housing situation here in Aus is a crisis. Without specifics, I see this impacting the health and wellbeing of patients every day. Notably, no mention of avo toast in the UN report. (also, ban Air BnB!) vt.tiktok.com/ZSjc3SUoo/

That's why we've launched 'HomeKeeper' - our plan for discounted mortgages to rein in big bank profiteering. HomeKeeper will save someone with the average mortgage (of $589,560) approximately $4284 a year. It'd be available to any owner-occupier. Not property investors.

Roasted alive by Spotify’s worst wrapped in recent memory

For all my tantrum tossing about Microsoft and their terrible “upgrades”… … Apple, sorry, what have you done with my camera roll?? Why are my emojis ginormous?

Can’t help but see parallels with AI doing art. Why are tech bros intent on automating the interesting and rewarding parts of humans’ jobs that they WANT to do rather than the parts of their jobs that are laborious and time consuming? 2/3

The snakes arrived! For those fleeing the NHS - come work for us! Consultants will work on the floor to facilitate all your snake-related education needs!

Medics are as a group terrible (for understandable reasons) at falling into a rut of living for "after on-calls", "after exam(s)", "after ARCP" etc etc As someone who, if I'm honest, probably fell into this trap myself, this thread strikes a chord bsky.app/profile/youn...

Live scenes of me at work. At this point Microsoft need to acknowledge they have a real talent for just making their own programs progressively worse and worse.

Winter’s pall descends. Frost threatens the windowpanes & casts wicked swirls on the stone paths. His Dark Majesty, Michael Bublè, awakens, festooned with tinsel & the blood of innocents. He opens his chasmal maw & sings. The world bows its head in fearful reverence for 31 days.

“There is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit.” I’ve watched the Arcane season finale far too many times. Every episode is a literal work of art. A beautiful exploration of family, friendship, trauma, privilege, and what makes us human. Cannot recommend it enough.

Despite safety concerns from academics, politicians and advocacy groups, late last night Australia passed a world-first law banning under-16s from social media #SocialMediaBan #socialmedia #auspol

I'm sorry but this is just insane

Over the years I've developed a number of "rants" (aka teaching) that seem to resonate with trainees on #ICUsky ward round. This pedogogical style might make educationalists wince but keeps me and (crucially) trainees, interested Interested in any counter rants, refined rants or rant affirmation
