A podcast on UTIs but also when a UTI isn’t a UTI or when a UTI is way worse than a standard UTI and did we mention it’s about UTIs? open.spotify.com/episode/3eA…

Junior doctors don’t need 1 day a year to wear coloured socks... They need; Humane work hours and humanly achievable workload. A supportive non-hostile work environment. Not to be in situations completely beyond their scope of practice. Be allowed to eat lunch.

So many unfilled Med Reg shifts/rota gaps coming up I am seriously considering hiring an actor and lying to them that the gig is the part of a doctor in a tv show, giving them the bleeps and doing a runner

This is fabulous advice and extends way beyond ED!
Some consultants seem to always make the emergency dept seem under control and chill, no matter how busy it is. A few weeks ago I asked one of them HOW ON EARTH they do this and it’s some of the best advice I’ve ever had. 👇 #emergencymedicine #medtwitter
