Date: 15.03.2023 Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Hanif Khan for Wednesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing Junior Doctor and The Kabaah Junior Doctor: Junior Doctors have the responsibility of leading teams, carrying out surgery and making life-and-death decisions. Since 2008, Junior Doctors have a ‘real terms' pay reduction of around 26%. Pairing this with the country's cost of living crisis and the challenge of working in a struggling NHS, the junior doctors are walking out for 72 hours. Is this the right decision, do you agree? The KABAAH: Many Muslims around the world have reacted angrily after Saudi Arabia unveiled plans to build a structure called the ‘Mukaab' in Riyadh. This is because of the cube-like structure and the Arabic name being similar to that of the Kaaba. The Kaaba is Islam's most sacred site in the Holy City of Makkah. Join us as we talk about the unique position of the Kaaba, it's history and it's great significance in Islam.

This episode Vicky and Mike took the time to talk to previous SAM President Nick Scriven about his reflections as an early adopter of Acute Medicine, how the speciality has grown and what he sees for the future.

Is it worth your time, life, and energy to become a Consultant in your chosen medical specialty? Especially when being a Consultant in the NHS isn't the holy grail it once used to be. I'm with Dr Ola Abbas, Founder's Associate at Medic Footprints and a dually trained Consultant in Acute Medicine and Intensive Care, talking about the misconceptions around getting to the top, salary, leadership and management training and the alternatives to becoming a Consultant. We also discuss the questions you need to ask when looking at making a change and why Ola is divorcing the NHS despite being a Consultant in two specialties.   KEY TAKEAWAYS What I thought it would be is not what it really is really is. In the private sector, it's more streamlined, and efficient and things get done. There is a result, payment is better and there is recognition. As doctors, we don't think about the different ways we can use our skills. When I got into business, I realised I was trading my time and skills for very little money in the NHS. You have to work your way through projects, leadership, management, and teaching to move up as a Consultant. Make sure you have the appropriate expectations for the job and top up your financial education. It's not about the salary at the end of the day, there are more priorities in life. I can see what's out there and that I can have a bigger voice and make a positive impact in other avenues that speak to my passion. I'm divorcing the NHS and for me, it's to be in alignment with my values and honor my priorities in life.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We are massively underpaid for the risk and responsibility we take on.' ‘As a consultant, 95% of my job is managing people and politics and 5% is clinical.' ‘When you get to consultant level you have to keep climbing the mountain to distinguish yourself from other consultants.' ‘It's about values, recognition and having a voice.'   Connect with our great mission of connecting 1 million doctors  medicfootprints.org/joinourmission   GET NEW EPISODES FIRST & MY UPDATES HERE https://medicfootprints.org/joinourmission    TRANSFORM YOUR CAREER WITH ME AND MORE. https://medicfootprints.org/gopremium    REACH OUT TO OUR TEAM!

Today Aravindan discusses the best way to approach and treat patients who may be experiencing overdoses, poisonings and/or drug-related agitation Top 3 Points from this podcast: Use sodium bicarbonate more, if this is a drug you carry and is within your scope of practice, for sodium channel blocking drug overdoses. Antidotes for the sedatives e.g. naloxone should only be used for protection of the airway and/or ventilation and a clear record of the reason for giving this antidote made.  If an antidote is used, give enough to protect from ventilation National Poisons and Information service is always happy to be contacted for information, use toxbase as a good resource too.

In Covid, oxygen levels in the body can crash without noticeable symptoms - it’s known as “silent hypoxia”. This week we’ll be discussing whether letting people monitor their oxygen levels at home with a pulse oximeter could save lives. James talks to Chris Harris, who’s been using one, and two pioneers of the project - Dr Matt Inada-Kim, Consultant in Acute Medicine at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust, and Dr Caroline O'Keeffe who runs oximetry@home in North Hampshire. And the hotly debated topic of rapid, or lateral flow, testing. Local councils are rolling them out for people who can't work from home, and the hope is that they could help us keep on top of the virus by picking out people with Covid. Could it be a way out of the pandemic or could it cause more harm than good? Prof Irene Petersen and our own Dr Margaret McCartney are on the case. Dr Navjoyt Ladher answers some of the most common questions about vaccines. PRESENTER: James Gallagher PRODUCER: Beth Eastwood

While, this morning, the first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in a Clare nursing home. The HSE has confirmed that the jab was offered to 22 residents and 49 staff at Regina House Nursing Home, Kilrush, today.

This week Libby Purves is joined by Dr Kevin Jones, Vic Armstrong, Vidal Sassoon and Peter Jefferson. Dr Kevin Jones is an NHS Consultant in Acute Medicine at the Royal Bolton Hospital and is also a comedian. He features in a short film, 'Dying for a Laugh', along with stand-up comedians including Shappi Khorsandi, Ricky Tomlinson, and Dave Spikey, all reflecting (and joking) about the taboo subject of death. The film supports National Dying Matters Awareness Week which aims to get people talking more openly about end of life care and dying. Vic Armstrong is a British-born stuntman and director. He has worked in the movie industry for forty years, as stunt double for Indiana Jones, James Bond and Superman, and has directed action scenes for three James Bond movies, 'Mission Impossible 3' and 'I Am Legend', to name but a few. His autobiography, 'The True Adventures of The World's Greatest Stuntman' is published by Titan Books. Vidal Sassoon is known as the man who 'changed the world with a pair of scissors', with the Bauhaus-inspired hair styles he pioneered in the 1960s and his 'wash and wear' philosophy. His life story is a true rags to riches one, told in a new film Vidal Sassoon The Movie which traces his path from his early days in an orphanage in the East End, to his time as a soldier in Israel, his beginnings on Bond Street and ultimately to international success and celebrity. Peter Jefferson is a former BBC announcer who read the shipping forecast on Radio 4 for over forty years. He's now written a book detailing the history of this British institution and looking at its broader cultural influence. 'And Now the Shipping Forecast' is published by UIT Cambridge.
