This August marks the start of my 12th year as an SpR (with a PhD, an attempt at PI-ing, and some offspring happening along the way). A colleague reminded me that I am an “elder” trainee, and I realised I have now become the subject of this Tweet. #winning #FML

I'm no longer interested in hearing about the patient's NEWS.

Give me their VIBES instead...

V – Vitals (HR, RR, BP, Temp, Sats)

I – Inspired oxygen

B – Behaviour (alertness, agitation, new confusion)

E – Escalation risk (triggers for concern)

S – Stability (improving, static, deteriorating)

On the old site I would post every year to mark another milestone after my 5yo completed cancer treatment. She’s reached 5 years, something we never thought possible at the beginning. Thanks to the hundreds of NHS staff and charity workers who have helped her get here 🙏🙏🙏

I’m in no state to travel right now(!), but even as a relatively privileged white person I wouldn’t feel safe travelling to the US currently. Sad that I’ll be waiting even longer for my next ATS!

The womeninmalefields trend is flipping the script on things said to and about women, including in MedSky, to highlight their absurdity.

Photo of a woman in scrubs in the OR with the caption “when he told me he wanted to be a surgeon and I said "but don't you want to be a dad?" #womeninmalefields”

Woman in scrubs looking down, caption says “He walked in wearing scrubs and introduced himself as the medical student/resident doctor, I ended my phone call saying "hang on the nurse just got here"”

Woman in scrubs next to a fancy car, caption: “When he drives up in
a nice car and l ask him what his wife does for a living

As I’ve become older I’ve realised more how experience can be different as a female in any “career track” particularly when it comes to family planning, and would have such different advice for young women wanting families and a career now!
