Another point of clarification: ⛔️ Not all open access is “pay for publication” Most ask for open access fees AFTER peer review has completed. Examples @bjajournals.bsky.social @cja-journal.bsky.social @Chrisprabhakar.bsky.social @lloydturbitt.bsky.social @ropivacaine.bsky.social

🔥 my hottest hot take from yesterday #ESRA2025 @esra-society.bsky.social Amir Hadzic says everything gets published now POV Everything gets published if your name is Dr. Hadzic Many journals with high standards that will reject low quality research. Educ is needed to know where to go

⁉️ Suprascapular nerve supplies 70% of the pain sensation to the shoulder.... We've all heard this. Has anyone seen any evidence for this claim? Tracing this back through various papers, I found a 1988 paper that stated this with no evidence or citation. @Bobfunn.bsky.social @Houthoff.bsky.social

Resident doctors who sat the high stakes MRCP pt 2 exam in Sept 23 learnt today that they were given the wrong results- both passes and failures. Massive sympathy for them - I hope the will be compensated for the damage done to careers www.thefederation.uk/news/mrcpuk-...

The most sensible response.

Ari Prinzbach and I wrote a "PRO" piece in RAPM recently outlining the arguments for using a short probe cover for procedures where the skin is pierced. Did you know that US probes are dirtier than bus poles and toilet seats? 🤢 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38777364/

Thrilled that our @anaesjournal.bsky.social human factors guideline paper has passed 40 000 views! Thank you to @dasairway.bsky.social @assocanaes.bsky.social and all of the authors @drkevinfong.bsky.social @doctimcook.bsky.social @tmeek.bsky.social et al #ansky search.app/UvkCbeESwrcf...

The thing is; everyone *says* they clean it afterwards and everyone *intends* to clean it but. well… it’s like having teenagers in the home 😂😤

To cover or not to cover, that is the question.I’m stuck between “such nonsense & waste of materials” & “would you like this dirty probe on your momma”? Which team are you? @bobfunn.bsky.social @jeffgadsden.bsky.social @dr-amit-pawa.bsky.social @son-of-caine.bsky.social @drrobbieerskine.bsky.social
