Pack 6 is on.... I will add people if I can tell you if you an anaesthetist or critical care person in your profile. If no description I can't tell!

Who else should I add?

It's even worse because there's plenty of use of the feedback section in evaluations for airing grievances, beefs, etc that they didn't the courage or the decency to say to people in person.

Yes, you can also get surprises the other way

and emotions. Ruminating over negative feedback, sometimes untrue & without context. Worth remembering that those words can be remembered for a lifetime. We should be mindful of what we write especially words that are permanently recorded. Feedback process should be better

I'm currently doing research on ARCP assessment. The focus is whether there is evidence of racism. A lot of my discussion with the client has been about the lack of transparency of the standard required to succeed, including the outcome report that comes from the clinical supervisor in the trust.

Words written anonymously in MSFs, MTRs and other feedback mechanisms especially to resident doctors can cause months, sometimes years of harm. I've provided pastoral support to many literally wounded by harsh negative words without comeback. Resident doctors (and others) are humans with feelings...

When ministers defended Starmer over Mandelson’s links to Epstein this week, they rushed to X - a platform that lets users strip photos of women and girls.

Is it surely time for the government to log off X? And is social media too toxic for all of us?

This emergency call made by the absolutely outstanding legend and brave 13 year old is quite something. Quite moving to think what he went through. The swim was roughly equivalent to running two marathons for him

Do ‘No’ people know the are no people? What is it that drives the ‘no person’? No people can stifle innovation & hold things back. I wonder if they realise what would happen if the said yes or maybe.

I had missed this. Kudos to @rcoanews.bsky.social for stopping posting on X. We need more bodies to stand up like this.

There are other starter packs. Anyone want to share some with Paul?

Other than the excellent anaesthetic lists that @sethina.bsky.social put together (which somehow managed to get onto), is there an easy way of finding the old medtwitter crowd on here?

Obstetric anaesthesia versus PHEM. Any similarities or totally different?

I deleted my X account a while back.

I don't regret it.

In the end, I wouldn't shop in a shop that sold the things they sell on X.

Leaving X quandary?

Follower count can feel like proof your voice matters

But your influence isn’t a number owned by X. It's you!
It’s the trust & relationships you’ve built with your followers & those move with you

Leaving doesn’t erase your impact, you can reclaim it on your own terms here.

Good to see lots of new people on here. (no-one should be actively posting on X anymore)

Starter packs are a great way of finding people worth a follow.
