A few days ago I commented something on a YouTube video making a loose joke about something anaesthetic related and have since been accused of lying by multiple people. Social media is nuts these days.They’re probably all 12yrs old.

For more experienced consultant anaesthetists: how do I make my resident go for a break? I keep offering but they decline and it feels rude to say ‘go away’.
