Last day ever of ICU for a man who many know as “GLI” or “greatest living intensivist”. Incredible clinician who influenced so many he has trained, immeasurably impacted ICU in the UK and saved so many lives through his wisdom and pursuit of excellence. Go well in retirement JC!

So many people on vacation offer to log on to work mtgs. The generosity of such people is enormous BUT we need to collectively ban them: almost never is any meeting that important. Combat #burnout improve #mentalhealth in medicine and change #medculture

Congratulations to @Cambridge_Uni today on their new Professor of Intensive Care Medicine: @charlot_summers. Much of her outstanding leadership in UK critical care through the Covid crisis was behind scenes (in UK CTAP, @ICS_updates, NHS) but believe me, she deserves a knighthood

Good to see the trend in tidal volume and plateau pressure. The increased use of nitric oxide and corticosteroids (although in 2021 evidence may have changed) shows how hard it is for clinicians to de-adopt medications

Great @UHN @SinaiHealth Medical Grand Rounds by ICU physician Ghislaine Doufle on role of POCUS in ICU (versus Echo by trained echographer) A 3 day course is NOT an echocardiography course Echo needs time, practice AND supervision Don't use POCUS to rule out disease (can rule in)

I'm 50, have genetic heart condition, same as Dad who's 87. I'm "healthy" : ride London-Paris for @DuchenneUK trekked Namibia for @comicrelief. Dying now would feel early by decades. An 'underlying condition' does not mean death with Covid is only to be expected or doesn't count
