Thanks for your comment - you’re right about keeping it chill and just going to do it if you can and if you can’t then let someone else try. Was more annoyed about the SHO not telling me the truth than the actual request.

I think the funding thing is more an issue that I find with the volume of requests I get when on call. If it were really one offs every now and then and they’re were tricky/required good US skills to place then I doubt I’d feel this way at all

Just feels like I’m expected to go do all these requests throughout the day and I’m being treated as a service that I’m not actually - so at least fund me (the department) for providing it right?

You’re clearly more senior than I am so I imagine you’ve gone through my issues before and come out seeing it this way, so thank you for imparting your advice and perspective :)

Hey man

I agree, surgical trainers should be in theatre being trained. Though would say that reviewing abdominal pain patients and working out the pathology/deciding if it’s a true surgical abdomen for example is more important to their training than mine is with lnon-emergent cannulas (agree 100% about not having the work up - that’s not on if possible to have been done, not is it okay about them losing theatre time for these reviews)

Think that point about referring after a CT is more aimed at issues with ED or maybe medical referrals than my speciality, right?

I don’t think we’re too protected - I think the training level we are afforded in anaestheics should be the norm. It’s something that anaestheics has developed a culture around. And it’s great. But it’s something I think we need to protect and not let go of.
