People don’t realize how safe and effective acetaminophen is for pain and fever. By scaring people away from Tylenol, fevers will either go untreated (dangerous, especially for young children and fetuses) or NSAIDs will take its place, which carry much more significant side effects, like stomach ulcers or kidney injury. It’s not hyperbole to say the president yelling at people not to take this medication will lead to deaths.

❌ Training is not fit for purpose
📉 Overloaded with service work
😩 Endoscopy access is limited
💤 Out-of-hours training nearly non-existent
🤯 Trainees working on days off to meet targets
👩⚕️👨⚕️ Future consultants are worried — and many plan to go LTFT.
📊 The papers and their responses from BSG & JAG are out now in @FrontGastro_BMJ –> fg.bmj.com/content/early/rec…

Given the number of non-medically qualified persons who claim to be “Reg Level”, I thought it’d be useful to clarify what is expected for the most junior of Reg levels, ST3, and what the job actually entails

Is iodine still the default in your scrub routine?
New research in our latest #Bulletin highlights that some surgical staff may not be aware of current guidance around iodine-based scrubs for pregnant and breastfeeding surgeons.

ALT A page from the Bulletin, showing a brown glass vial of liquid with a pipette. The title text reads: 'Should pregnant surgeons and surgical staff be using iodine-based scrub solutions? Insights from a staff survey' with the sub heading reading, 'Are surgical staff aware of the potential risks of iodine scrubs in pregnancy, or is vital information being overlooked?'

It’s becoming obvious that everyone has been sold a pup with physician’s associate roles. Docs thought they were getting a helper, someone to remove some of the burden of admin and chasing for junior docs and who could also do some routine tasks (but under supervision and 1/n
