Eerily familiar in many environments I’ve seen and worked in.
We need better training for those clinicians who are expected to step up to lead.

Culture of excellence or culture of control?

"The behaviours described – bullying, favouritism, passive-aggression & emotional detachment – are not abstract threats; they are lived realities for many clinicians navigating hierarchical and culturally siloed environments."

Anaesthesia as a profession by definition means to compromise your wellbeing for another human’s
Purpose, mastery, and belonging is key and the generations expect different things

Relief of pain & suffering is central to the practice of anaesthesia. The word anaesthesia comes from two Greek words: "an" meaning "without" and "aesthesis" meaning "sensation". Dr Dilip Kapur is an anaesthetist, pain medicine specialist & @anzca-fpm.bsky.social dean. #insafehands bit.ly/42lfpB8

It’s normal to feel nervous before an operation, especially if it’s your first time. Remember, you’re #insafehands. Your anaesthetist will be by your side throughout your operation, watching you closely and keeping you safe. More: bit.ly/4mZP9Va
