The mole thread (QT) got some love yesterday and many have asked what happened to the mole.

Here is the concluding part of the story, the moral of which is that you should ALWAYS trust your ODP.

They’re never wrong 🧵 2. It is 31st May 2022. I am still slightly sticky but dressed (albeit commando and sockless) in clean scrubs following the “no showers in the showers” incident.

I limp back round to theatres to update those who had found me scrubs in the middle of the day (an NHS miracle)

My perspective on AAs; a 🧵

I was an ANP before medical school and am now a specialty doctor in anaesthetics.

I work with 2 qualified AAs who are excellent,

I am often asked for my opinion given my background, so here it is a long thread including my own story. I work with two qualified AAs who are terrific. Both have extensive healthcare experience and multiple qualifications, and I would be happy to receive an anaesthetic from either of them.

But I need to put the AA project in context.

Moles and spillage; a thread (as I feel like I’m living in a sitcom.

So, I have a cat. He’s awesome.

Yesterday, said cat was taking an unusual interest in my lounge furniture.

This was because he’d brought in a live mole and let it run around in my house This is the mole. Looks cute eh?

No.

I attempted to rescue the mole and sustained a bite from said mole. Ouch.

After some chasing I despatched said mole through the dining room door with the aid of a trombone stand.

Perhaps I should try and lift your spirits by telling you the tale of one of our anaesthetists during the first wave. Involves nudity. So, lovely gasdoc is working a lot in ITU with covid patients and has young children who don’t understand social distancing. His infection control strategy was to build an outdoor shower. He lives in rural location. Home, clothes off, outdoor shower, THEN hug the kids.
