One thing I wish more people understood about Sudden Cardiac Arrest is that anyone can (and should) use an AED if they see that someone is unresponsive and not breathing. We've all seen traditional AEDs, but many of us have never really noticed them. Probably because they're usually displayed in lock boxes or alarmed cabinets and generally look like they are reserved for medical professionals, or really anyone other than ourselves. This is a MAJOR misconception. I think Avive Solutions Inc. AED is impactful quite simply because it looks different. It looks like a piece of technology that you and I are allowed to interact with. #SCA #cardiacarrest #awareness

It’s never enough. There is never enough time on the operating list for the last patient with time critical devastating disease. There is never enough registrars to fill the rota gaps. There is not enough time in your clinic for the tsunami of new referrals. There is not enough energy left for your family and sanity when you go home. Frankly: there isn’t enough OF YOU! But there is only ONE YOU! That is why I work with hospital doctors to prevent burnout so that they can rediscover balance and joy at work. You, the ONLY YOU, cannot be the fallen foot soldier sacrificed by a buckling system. You cannot look after others without looking after yourself. You have options. You have choices. If you can’t see them, DM me to start a conversation.
