A blog written by an anaesthetic resident. Posts cover medical history, institutional critique, artificial intelligence, technical projects that solve clinical problems, 3D printing, and whatever intellectual rabbit holes seem worth documenting.

Argus
A wearable barcode system that puts medication checks in the clinician's field of view. Built from off-the-shelf hardware and 3D-printed parts, Argus explores whether drug verification can fit more naturally into the work of giving an anaesthetic.
-
Minerva
A tool for generating primary FRCA practice questions using large language models and anaesthetic reference material. Minerva explores whether AI can help produce useful revision questions, with a small blinded study comparing its output against Royal College reference questions.
-
The People's Phantom
An open-source ultrasound training phantom costing around £5 to make. A reusable 3D-printed housing, agar gel, and simple balloon targets provide an inexpensive way to practise ultrasound-guided procedures, with scope to adapt the design for more complex anatomy.
-
Bellows
An interactive mechanical ventilation simulator for anaesthesia and intensive care education, running in the terminal or browser. Bellows lets you change ventilator settings and lung mechanics, then watch how pressure, flow, and volume waveforms respond in real time.
