The earth is about to get a little greener thanks to the efforts of the Monash Health Department of Anaesthesia, which has banned the use of the volatile anesthetic desflurane across all of our sites. 🌏 Find out more about the environmental impact here: monashhealth.org/latest-news…

@tra2sh1 have some fantastic resources to help empower trainees & fellows to educate colleagues and to help calculate carbon costs of desflurane. Great presentation Dr Birkett! Hop on twitter to share your work! #ASM22PER

As a doctor I have two voices in my head at all times, one that says "I know exactly what I'm doing" and one that says "I have no idea what I'm doing." They never talk to each other, one just gets louder than the other.

Had the opportunity to be shown some of the cutting edge blast injury research at @TRBL_CBIS by @EmRAshworth. Game changing developments for medical care in this field.

Every intern should go on a field trip to a @WaffleHouse on a busy Sunday morning to learn how to run a CODE. One person talking loud and clear, everybody else working fast, focused, and quiet. #TipsForNewDocs
