I am now deleting all the tweets. You know why and where to find me.

I know I’m harping on about this, but you seriously need to come with me to the cerulean place (I’m being obscure because Elmo is absolutely using the algorithm to stop these tweets getting to your feed). I think I’m going to delete my tweets today if I can figure that out.

Context: I had to do this because the ICM programme mandates 12 months of medicine experience (6 can be ED, I’ve never been closer to quitting my job than working as a cog in the ED nightmare-contraption so that wasn’t happening) and I didn’t do ACCS.

Take an old person if you have one. Be cynical. Why is this room weirdly shaped? Is this room too small to fit a double bed? How many rooms do we have to renovate on day 1 versus over a few years? Take a billion photos. View at different times of day.

Viewings are weird. They last about 10 minutes because you feel pressured. Ask the agent to leave you alone, or if you're a couple split up so one of you can really look round. Go for a second viewing, either before offering, or if you're thinking of increasing.

There’s an investment London could make that would provide the same capacity as the Elizabeth line for a tenth of the cost. It might sound too good to be true, but it isn’t! 1/7

@ehega1804 @stu4rtdavid NI hospitals should attract staff, not expect indentured service. I’m from Scotland, if people were crying because they were being forced to move to Aberdeen from Kent, I would completely understand. We shouldnt be offended, we should incentivise working at unpopular locations.

For the viva I used Masterpass's books. Book 1 is better than book 2 and they don't contain any anatomy, which I went back to eLFH and just googling stuff from the curriculum for, but they did me fine. I had Graphic Anaesthesia as well but I'm not sure how much it helped me.

Primary Viva/OSCE: Important to note I failed the OSCE first time round, which was partly bad luck but weak spots were mostly equipment and physics. The one book I got later that I realised would have saved me was Mendonca/Balasubramanian's, strong recommendation.

@LiviButt @timricketts_ I appreciate your sentiment but you could say the same for any specialty. Many don’t know what a cardiologist is, don’t know what an endocrinologist does. Unless your point is that they know what it means, and that geriatrics specifically is a disrespectful term (@GeriSoc 🧐)
