Like politics, I would steer clear discussing this over dinner.
They have a small baby, likely exhausted, trying their best.
Just enjoy their company and the food and the adorable new baby.
If asked, I would reply honestly re my kids vaccinations. They can do whatever they like with that info.

Thanks to all contributing and liking the newly named #MedSkyDebate, this week’s debate came from Nicholas Chrimes @chrimesy.com.
Some days I feel as though I am yelling into the @bsky.app clouds but each debate seems to get more engagement.
Thank you 🥰

I was taught 4 hours max for propofol.
I’m weary however and try to minimise time between open and use.
We had an unfortunate series of patients in this area years ago poisoned with bugs in multi-use propofol (a ‘clinic’ setting…).

A while back I timed how long it took me to draw up sux.

TL;DR: too long if done in anger.

Not very often.
There are some places with scant support.
I don’t draw it up every list.
Only on a very prn basis.
I want the supply to keen turning over.
It really does take ages to draw ours up esp if I’m the only one that can do it.

Probs gonna get cancelled for this but what the heck it’s been a day …. Sometimes I draw up Sux….. it takes 35s to draw up out amps… if there is a patient I’m worried about it’s too long….

The most important thing is phone call with her and her loved one in the bay.
Let them know you are looking after mum/grandma.
Let them know you have read notes etc; but is there anything they really need to know that you know.
Assure them you will look after her, and that you will call when done.

Here’s the midweek #AnSkyMedSkyDebate

AFOI should only be done by people who do 20+ a year.
There should be a separate on call service for AFOI staffed by experienced practitioners.

Thanks to @lotusgav.bsky.social for the suggestion.
Not necessarily his opinion 😇

People think I'm biased against Jeff Bezos, but here's Sartoria F. Caraceni, widely considered one of the best bespoke tailoring houses in the world, commenting on Bezos's wedding suit.

"The most terrible, frightening, horrible tuxedo ever seen in my life. I'm really suffering"
A photo of Jeff Bezos in his tuxedo. The low armhole is causing the jacket to lift off his neck. A comment from Sartoria F. Caraceni on Instagram. It reads: "The most terrible, frightening, horrible tuxedo ever seen in my life. Omg .. [face palm emoji]. Elegance is not an empty word. I can't stand it. Really suffering ..."

Used here too by me years ago. My vet friend let me intubate then isoflurane. Not an awake intubation!

This is brilliant. The more Daves we can involve the better. Altmetric might host a “Dave Day” where only researchers called Dave are invited.
