Ah, lavender oil. I was once discussing a 15 year old with one of our anaesthetists. He had suffered widespread scalding from a
car radiator after the valve came off, and he was being run as a paediatric trauma call. The anaesthetist and I were wondering
whether he needed intubation for transfer to the burns unit, his fluid requirements and so on. He was quite badly injured.
The on-call paediatric Consultant tripped in. Silence fell, and she said, "Ooh, those do look sore. Lavender oil is good for that."
and tripped out again. That was her entire contribution to the boy's management.
Best wishes,
Rowley Cottingham
