My sorrowful wolfhound before the vets. She’s been diagnosed with CCF and AF so on meds, including digoxin. What a difference they’ve made 🥰. She is elderly now, her and her sister are both 10 #dogsky

It’s been a mixed start to the year in icu. The highs have included being visited by ex patients who looked fabulous and were doing really well, and the lows are definitely losing patients. Some patients and families just leave their mark on you. It hits hard when they can’t be saved #med.sky

Does anyone use the GIK (glucose, insulin and potassium) protocol for cardiogenic shock? Would love to hear from anyone who has used it. #med.sky #icu

Just finished a very busy set of nights. ICU is full, the hospital is full and declared a major incident. Happy January folks #med.sky #ICU

We’ve started offering ‘heartbeat in a bottle’ keepsakes for grieving relatives. It’s a part of an ecg of their loved ones heartbeat in a little bottle. We also offer handprints. I’d be interested to hear what other ICU’s do? #medsky

We were visited by one of our previous long stay ICU patients. First time we have seen him since discharge. He looked so different, so strong. It was emotional and fabulous. A much needed boost for all of us on ICU. ❣️ #icu

Painted a watercolour of my job. This was when we were still wearing masks…I gave it to my unit. Not sure why I did it, it was after a very poignant shift #medsky #nursesky #criticalcare #artsky

My ICU is lucky to have this beautiful therapy dog who comes every weekend to visit patients, relatives and us staff. The joy he brings is immeasurable, especially for our longer term pts. ❣️ #criticalcare #medsky #dogs

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the gift of organ donation. It’s an incredible thing to do ❣️

Great 2 days in London…back to ICU tomorrow. Only 2 more clinical shifts before I do a month as a clinical teacher on ICU.

So my overnight suitcase was pressed against a man’s leg on the train…unbeknown to me… I’ve just moved it and apologised, he said ‘ I did wonder if that was the suitcase’ 😳😳

Why isn’t the government doing more to avert disaster this winter? Overcrowding and long waits in A and E departments are not just an inconvenience - they cost many patients their lives🚨🚨🚨

We will hold our next EveryDoctor MP meeting on Thursday. We need change!

Help please… how do I create a way of blocking accounts automatically. I want to automatically block anti vaccine posts. Any advice would be gratefully received
