“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

please enjoy Discworld Elysium, everyone this was clearly written for me personally but I think a lot of you will also like it

This brilliant video by singer Chris Cron deserves its own applause (he’s on Instagram), but it also reminds us how astonishingly good Queen were as songwriters and musicians. The melody, harmony, and lyrical flair are all elite — and this isn’t even one of their Top 5 most downloaded songs!

I love the medial needle insertion approach to the IPACK block. Have you tried it? I find it Faster, Easier to perform Easier to see the needle But you must take care not to puncture long saphenous. #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia #RAsky Full video here: youtu.be/q-4TXakDoXA?...

So 3 new videos released today! 1. Femoral Triangle & AFCN youtu.be/3hIqmH3vTNo?... 2. Medial approach to IPACK youtu.be/q-4TXakDoXA?... 3. Serratus Plane youtu.be/jbLKyV--2d4?... Please Enjoy, Like & Subscribe! #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia #RAsky #AnSky

Brexit dividend: our swimming waters are MUCH more polluted than any EU country's because we no longer have to follow EU environmental law since Brexit so water companies can get away with just about anything. (Just one of many pesky EU rules Brexiters hated.) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Technique for HAVL with @chrimesy.com & @cliffreid.bsky.social

I have uploaded a mini scanning tutorial for the Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Full link below: youtu.be/4fqmasig7Ww?... In the meantime- check out this teaser with sound on! 👇🏼 #RAsky #AnSky

I’ve uploaded a new video on the Suprainguinal Fascia iliaca (SIFI) Block It is meant to simulate the teaching you may receive on a scanning workshop #RAsky #AnSky #POCUSky Please do check out the full link here: youtu.be/fHgO4dczWFk?...

Needling for the axillary approach to the brachial plexus block. Not the greatest block / result, just what i'm pondering along the way. Sorry for the delay! youtu.be/cX18JooTbVc

And here's part 2 - looking at all the other things we can inadvertently damage or inject into. youtu.be/HcF0Imiyfs0

Been a while between videos. Here's a two parter looking at the minimum required anatomy for an interscalene block. youtu.be/Cd0rgIIsdO4

Yep more @chrimesy.com

Final speaker was Dr Alana Flexman back on stage again for another amazing lecture on Perioperative Stroke. Dry topic made enthralling. Bravo #ASM25CNS

@ffolliet.bsky.social is here on bluesky! If you haven't come across his excellent p-cubed (ffolliet.com) yet, make your presentations better and give him a follow. For the sake of you and your audiences!

Just remembered this adorable old video, this kid has such good comic timing I hope you’re thriving out their queen

"…doctors had been turned into "factory workers" in an effort to deliver ever-increasing productivity." A NHS doctor dies by suicide every 3 weeks. A nurse attempts suicide daily. Who cares for the carers? The lonely death of Dr Jagdip Sidhu www.the-londoner.co.uk/nhs-doctor-s...

I have a series of 3 videos out: Counting ribs: youtu.be/JqbS-eqxEss?... Transverse PVB: youtu.be/AMHCqxP7-RU?... Paramedian Sagiital PVB: youtu.be/Gkc7jqmAyew?... All compliment our latest @bilih.bsky.social #BILIH #BlockItLikeItsHot episode! @jeffgadsden.bsky.social #RAsky #AnSky #POCUSky

Neat and focused talk, full of pearls of wisdom, by @nottheflyhalf.bsky.social on blocks for rib fractures, with some great #FOAMed resources here: criticalcarenorthampton.com/blockographi... #MedSky #EMedSky #LTC2024

Last year I participated in a webinar co-hosted by @ra-uk.org, @rcoanews.bsky.social & @bjajournals.bsky.social I spoke on the evolution of facial plane blocks. Check it out here. Warning ⚠️- It features mention of the ESP block! It’s about 25 mins. Enjoy youtu.be/60nal46t9Cw?...

The next video instalment is for how to scan and identify the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, or lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh. Useful for hip surgery incisions, or skin graft harvesting sites. Enjoy! #RAsky #AnSky youtu.be/ENrU1WiJvr8?...

This Newer Video demonstrates how to find the Apex of the Femoral Triangle, the anatomy, & shows a block being performed Arguably the most important of Motor-Sparing Knee blocks for Knee Arthroplasty. Enjoy! #RAsky #AnSky Also features reference to @bilih.bsky.social youtu.be/vOj8tCSjaHs?...

The final Plan A Block I’ll post is the Femoral Triangle block- referred to (incorrectly) as the adductor canal block here. Does it matter? Probably! Excuse me calling the vastoadductor membrane the “Vasoadductor” 🤦🏽‍♂️ #RAsky #AnSky Will post another video soon! youtu.be/xUC-z54dLO4?...

The next Plan A Block I’m sharing is fave! The Popliteal approach to the Sciatic Nerve! I started off doing this with Patient Prone, then Lateral, and now mostly do supine! Great for Below Knee Amputation, Foot & Ankle Surgery & Critical Limb Ischaemia #RAsky #AnSky youtu.be/o0hUpEUoziE?...

The next plan A block I wanted to share is the Femoral Nerve Block Used less for elective Hip & Knee surgery in UK practice, but still has a role in Hip Fracture analgesia/surgery, or in amputation. I still use it with Lidocaine for GA knee arthroplasty. #RAsky #AnSky youtu.be/ueHYcf_-L_U?...

Continuing with my journey through the Plan A Blocks, we move on to the often under-appreciated Rectus Sheath block. Great for abdominal midline procedures. Do you use it? What’s your experience been? Check it out #RAsky #AnSky #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia youtu.be/8jZG-w94srQ?...

As we continue with Plan A Blocks, it’s time for the most controversial of all! The Erector Spinae Plane Block! Love it or Loathe it, it’s popular! Chest wall Analgesia & Abdominal Analgesia I made two videos, one was more popular than the other #RASky #AnSky youtu.be/HWei4RNv6OA?...

Continuing with the Plan A Block re-cap, we have the Axillary Brachial Plexus Block This is my favourite block to teach novice blockers Great for hand and forearm pain, surgery & fracture manipulation Check out the video youtu.be/t6sLcyu6SPc?... #AnSky #RASky #RegionalAnaesthesia

So as I am starting all over again here, I thought I’d look back on some of my previous work/content. Let’s begin with a Plan A Block The Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block Useful for shoulder/Proximal humerus surgery/Pain Check out the video #AnSky #RASky youtu.be/fX_uupfw-Lw?...
