I am not an idiot.
Obs the code for my login is faulty.

Me trying to log back in…
Honestly this site hates me.
No matter what I do it’s so much work.

I keep getting logged out of BlueSky and it’s a pain to re log in.
It’s endless authentication emails.
I’m back on the bird for now.
I really have tried to get this going, but I think I have not succeeded, it’s not working.
This is it for me and #MedSkyDebate for now xx

I’m back on the bird for #WAMM2025
That seems to be the main platform for the meeting.
Met @airwaymxacademy.bsky.social and his wife for the first time.
Utterly charming!!!

typewriter can write Shakespeare, then enough managers with enough developers they shout at can ruin any website.

Almost need a #MedSkyArgument feed rather than just @maffygirl.medsky.social's weekly debates.

All good xx

Catch up soon Sandy xx

Sent you some texts xx

Will be interesting…..I don’t like Italian food.

I’ll be travelling for 40 hours this weekend.
Are you happy to host?
Not hard just direct the topic if required??

I am off to Florence for #WAMM25 so will be travelling for the next few days.
There will be plenty of topics for #MedSkyDebate later next week.
If you are going please come and say hello.

In our facility, Hygiene was policing that for two weeks in a row. Since then, everybody who wears them, basically old people and heads of department, started to leave them outside.

Germany here.

I have loathed white coats for, like, forever. Never understood this.

Infection control is absolutely right.

But surgery, medicine, all of them just cannot and will not let go.

They'll stroll through our ICU and touch anything with their sleeves and not even notice.

If we can do it.
You can do it.
Evidence based medicine says they are wrong.
Honestly contact Theatre Caps.

Thanks a lot.

There are so many benefits (environmental/ costs/ teamwork and communication), but our IC 'specialists' don't sector get it.

Feel free to use this photo to dispute IC.

They have all the details in a convenient location to dispute Infection Control.
The Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia bought their named theatre caps in 2021 spending $20,000 during Covid.

Cath lab and IR are probably the most challenging environments to give an anaesthetic.

It was set up as a ‘dry lab’ area, so no lab coats allowed. But you had to spot your samples onto a steel grid to ‘shoot the laser’ at them. Cobalt blue angora wool traces got into my Neiserria protein samples (the MALDI detects down to femtogram amounts). The trace returned ‘rabbit’ as well my bug!

Oh do tell Mel xx

White coats are for the lab. Medics only need scrubs or surgical gowns in theatre. Lab coats (Howie style) are specific to PC2 lab work to protect the wearer from things like chemical spills - and to protect them from dunking their sleeves into liquid cultures of pathogenic bacteria!

We had to go into a spooky part of the old Royal Adelaide Hospital in the basement so I rarely wore them.
They were over starched and under bleached.

Great engagement on this #MedSkyDebate topic.
Feeling shy?
Don’t we’d love to hear from you! 😊
