It's 3 AM, you're the SHO on call for medicine in a new hospital. On a ward you're unfamiliar with, a cry pierces through the quiet, you rour the corner to investigate. On the floor is a 200kg man, who is holding an abandoned, dishevelled baby. He has pulled out his venflon and is bleeding onto the floor. He is MRSA +ve and the baby is at risk of CRO. The hoist is broken. In a bed in the corner, an overseas visitor is receiving a transfusion, but has objected to this on grounds of gender inequality. He has anti-Mu-Kappa-Phi-phi antibodies. He may or may not have a lasting power of attorney, who may be at risk of radicalization. The HCA tending to him is wearing a green apron, this is only for food. Bu there is no food. In the corner, a purple lidded sharps bin is on fire, a live electrical wire jumps about dangerously. Next to you are three fire extinguishers labelled only in Aramaic, one is cream with a red label, the other mauve with a crimson label, the third is racing green with no label. You stop to wash your hands before you tackle the problem, but there is r soap. Another noise disturbs you as you see your registrar, clearly intoxicated, shouting the contents of his patient list at a small audience in the car park, as he throw USB sticks filled with patient identifiable data out the window. What would you do? This, colleagues, is why you must go to induction.

Screen shot from linked paper “The UK intensive care curriculum does not mandate proficiency in any specific procedural skill. For example, there is no requirement to be competent in central or arterial line placement by the end of training. By the same provision any skill can be learnt within the curriculum, such as echocardiography. However, that has not led to the consistent delivery of ultrasound training to those who want it.”
