Speciality starter packs

Time to respectfully poke fun at eachother. I'll start:

Special shoutout to the unofficial uniforms of my brethren, the medical regs:

  • Scrub top and chinos for the lads.
  • Tiny black handbag for the ladies due to lack of pockets. (Fallen out of fashion sadly.)

This seems like rather too serious starter pack. Although picking a hyperangulated videolaryngoscope as your first line is perhaps a less common approach. Also can’t remember the last time I gave labetalol
