Great to see this published @elsevierconnect.bsky.social after lots of work with @dyslexicmedic.bsky.social.
Almost 20 pages of drug tables, pathways, and peri operative guidances. Just look at these beautiful diagrams. Fantastic resource for exam prep!

Join me tomorrow at 8am (UK) or 3pm (SG) for an overview of intensive care - the mortality, morality and ministry. It will cover some concepts and ideas from the my book Scars & Stains, and about humanising intensive care.

Opening quote for my essay Rivers of Life that won the Anesthesia History Association competition. Explores 3 “streams” of circulation in life support, challenges Eurocentric origins of CPR, and raises esoteric Qs about survival.
