True.

If I'm injecting something that can be sore (like propofol), I'll say it might feel strange/tingly/weird, but it'll be short-lived

I just say what I'm going to do; "small injection of local anaesthetic now". That way the patient can decide how much it hurts (or not), rather than me giving them a pain prompt

Thanks for making it happen @maffygirl.medsky.social!

Friendly exchange of ideas, I'm learning something every time!

You're not wrong though

I used to, then I moved to placing amps & labelled syringes in a tray, ready to quickly draw if needed.
My place stocks prefilled atropine, ephedrine, metaraminol. They go into a tray, add a glyco amp and a syringe.... (& check there's sux & in the fridge).

The move to prefilled was environmental

I have recently refused to work until appropriate sized scrubs found.

I got sick of exposing myself when having to wear over large sizes. Particularly the elasticated trousers that were falling down constantly.

(Admittedly, I sat in my outdoor clothes in the coffee room to stage my protest)

Untucked- otherwise I can't use the pockets on the top.

(Although, secretly, as I really get cold, I often have a tucked in top on underneath to try and keep warm!)

Leakage was more like 95% with us. Manifolds now decommissioned at most of the hospitals in our health board. Portable cylinders available to plug into the back of the machine if needed

Oops, I really am behind aren't I?!

I'll go away and reflect on my behaviour

Have you just accidentally given away the identity of a special guest?!

Must catch up, ashamed to admit that I'm a few episodes behind on #BILIH 🫣

Why is it that I'm pretty sure that I know which hospital?!

(I still visit there for a list once a month - block list of course!)

I've seen some of @athmathottungal.bsky.social work where she's using for neuromodulation.... very clever stuff.

One day I'll remember to pin her down on the specifics and give this largely ignored bit of kit a new lease of life

100% sterile gel if you're planning on puncturing the skin...

(Agreed that sterile water/saline will also work as acoustic coupling agent!)

Not all of us!

My kids are bilingual and speak English & Cymraeg fluently!

There are a load of regional accents yn Gymru, much like in other parts of the world....

Come visit, you might like it 😉

Looks like you need to venture further West next time you're in the UK? Perhaps visit Wales when you pop over for #RAUK26 in Bristol?!

I do most of mine awake, as they are block only cases.

Will block kids asleep as routine.

Probs, in my hands as experienced blocker, risk of neural injury is v low awake or asleep.

In a less experienced pair of hands, the confidence of no paresthesia/pain during block is useful!
