Hello #Blocktober26 friends! It's the 15th today and I'd like to discuss what to do when you have a patient with pre-existing neuropathy...

Hellooo it’s Day 6 of #Blocktober26 ! Today, we’ll get back to the chest wall, but with a different perspective. You’re looking after a 52-year-old woman presenting for left mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy. The surgeon asks if you can “do a block” to improve postop analgesia — she’s happy for you to do whatever you like (and so is the patient). Patient is otherwise healthy and is happy to have a GA as well.

Happy #Blocktober26 everyone! It's that time of year again! Looking forward to another month of sharing and learning with everybody. Grab a coffee and a donut, and buckle up!
