From overcoming barriers as an international medical graduate to embracing new cultures and even learning to scuba dive, Dr. Morris's story is a testament to resilience and adaptability.

This piece focuses upon the Hypotension Predictive Index (HPI) technology. We look at the validation process of HPI, addressing criticisms and clarifying its predictive ability for hemodynamic instability. How important is it to understand the underlying causes of instability rather than solely relying on blood pressure readings? What is the role of HPI in early detection and proactive management? The discussion also touches on the limitations of traditional mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring and the need for a holistic approach to hemodynamic assessment. Presented by Desiree Chappell, TopMedTalk's co-editor in Chief, speaking with Monty Mythen, Senior Vice President Medical Affairs, Edwards Lifesciences, Critical Care, Emeritus Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University College London, Thomas Sheeran, Senior Director Medical Affairs, Edwards Lifesciences, and Simon Davies, Consultant Anaesthetist at York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Hanlie du Plessis talks about a career in anaesthesia. I love the idea of choosing a specialty by "finding your tribe". Her top tip for doctors exploring careers is to talk to lots of people about their careers, but don't ask them about the best bit, ask them about the worst bit - because unless you can cope with that, it doesn't matter how good the rest of the job sounds.Hanlie grew up in South Africa and after completing her medical degree she moved to Scotland to complete her post graduate training in Anaesthesia. She worked as a consultant anaesthetist in the West and Central Scotland before moving to Oxford in 2015. Her work involves anaesthesia for major emergencies, spinal trauma, urology and gynaecological procedures. She has been awarded for her compassionate care and previously nominated for the ‘Doctor of the Year' award in Oxford University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. She was instrumental in establishing their departmental wellbeing and sustenance initiative during the pandemic. She is the lead for clinical governance in her group and teaches medical students from the University of Oxford on their rotation in anaesthesia. She is a holistic clinician and practices as a life coach working with clinicians to prevent burnout and find clarity to navigate their career transitions. She is currently training in lifestyle medicine which aligns with her interests in preventative medicine. She lives by her values of empathy, empowerment and equality-especially for women in medicine. She regularly practices yoga, reads as much as possible, loves the outdoors, the ocean and coffee.You can connect with Hanlie athttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hanlie-du-plessis-791658142/

Chloroform could stop patients breathing if you accidentally gave too much, but could it also cause the heart to suddenly stop beating? John Snow thought it did, but doctors in Scotland disagreed. Through the second half of the 19th century, the commissions and committees that investigated chloroform's risks would chase an answer around the world, to India. And the results would be controversial.

Masks are being shamelessly used by our Governments as a Political prop. Masks are being used as a reminder of a frightening scourge enveloping us and Mandates are a tool of subjugation. There is ample scientific evidence that masks don't protect wearers from Covid19; and yet learned Public Health Officers, professional lobby groups and conflicted media perpetuate the Government lie. From Sheep Station Creek in Queensland to Los Angeles County, mask hysteria rules. It is simply cruel to force the elderly and young children to wear masks. Individuals should be free to choose, but Public Health officials should focus instead on the real risks of extended and unhygienic use of face masks and how to properly treat Covid-19.

2020 was a big year for prehabilitation, the advent of a global pandemic has only increased the importance of this exciting field of medicine. Various questions from EBPOM 2020 attendees were tackled by the panel: Can you use "Timed Up and Go" (TUG) and The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) to screen out unnecessary cardio-pulminary exercise testing (CPET)? What exactly is prehabilitation and what's its natural scope? How important is nutrition? Is it possible to standardise these areas more? What areas are being significantly worked on in prehabilitation medicine in the UK this year? What about - in these COVID 19 times - remote screening and assessment? Also, what about the possibilities regarding aerosolisation, particularly of COVID-19, during CPET? Can prehabilitation work to minimise time spent in hospital?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of anaesthetics, from laughing gas in the 1790s to the discovery of “blessed chloroform”. Remembering his unsuccessful stint at Edinburgh Medical school Charles Darwin described the horrors of surgery before anaesthetics : "I attended the operating theatre and saw two very bad operations... but I rushed away before they were completed. Nor did I ever attend again, for hardly any inducement would have been strong enough to make me do so; this being long before the blessed days of chloroform. The two cases fairly haunted me for many a long year."The suffering Darwin witnessed is almost unimaginable. In the 19th Century, a simple fracture often led to amputation carried out on a conscious patient, whose senses would be dulled only by brandy or perhaps some morphine. Many patients died of shock.The properties of gases like nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” held out hope. The chemist Humphrey Davy in the 1790s described it as “highly pleasurable, thrilling”. He also noticed his toothache disappeared. But he failed to apply his observations and it wasn't until the 1840s that there was a major breakthrough in anaesthetics, when an enterprising dentist in Boston managed to anaesthetize a patient with ether. It became known as the “Yankee Dodge”. Ether had its drawbacks and the search for a suitable alternative continued until chloroform was tried in 1847, winning many admirers including Queen Victoria, the first English royal to use it. So why did it take so long for inhaled gases to advance from providing merely recreational highs to providing an essential tool of humane surgery? What role did the development of the atomic bomb play in the development of anaesthetics? And how have society's changing attitudes to pain informed the debate?With David Wilkinson, Consultant Anaesthetist at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London and President of the History of Anaesthesia Society; Stephanie Snow, Research Associate at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology & Medicine at the University of Manchester; Anne Hardy, Professor in the History of Modern Medicine at University College London
