What is Abnormal Saline?
Abnormal Saline catalogues my exploration of intensive care medicine and anaesthesia. It aims to cover everything from fleeting trivial observations to meaty topics requiring lengthy cranial digestion. While I make no formal commitment to post at regular intervals, I hope to explore a topic (big or small) at least once a month. It is important to note that these topics are not necessarily guided by the CICM/ANZCA syllabus.
How is this different from Deranged Physiology?
For one it's worse (on the infinitesimally small chance a motivated trainee has stumbled across this website, they ought to re-direct themselves away from this page at once). Secondly, this website functions like a blog or living list of topics I feel are worth writing about. Abnormal Saline is exclusively my exploration of intensive care medicine and related topics, built sequentially, and motivated by periods of confusion around things I have seen or read. Perhaps, at some point during my training, this site will stop being a hodge-podge of vaguely clinical wonderings and begin to resemble a more useful curated collection of topics similar to the extensive work of Dr Alex Yartsev. On this, I make no promises.
About the Author
I am a Australian junior doctor (if reading this in the decade of the websites publication then, yes, this is still correct!) exceedingly interested in why we do the things we do in medicine. I am thoroughly committed to the masochistic process of bettering that understanding - whether it be through entires on this website, teaching or formal research.
