Lauren Harris (ST5) is now the most junior trainee who has clipped an aneurysm under my supervision. CN2 and ICA exposure, some of the fissure split and neck dissection..with me mostly getting in the way. Definitely a future vascular/skull base Neurosurgeon! #RomfordNeurosurgery

Golf is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. But as Tiger Woods has shown, even the most conditioned bodies can face serious spine challenges... Read the Spine Care for Golfers article written by Mr Anthony Ghosh at kentgolf.org/news.php?newsi… #Golf #KentGolf

I am re-posting this as I am proud to hear that my former trainee @Lauren_S_Harris won the 2024 Norman Dott award for achieving the highest score in the country the final neurosurgery residency exam and also the European exam. I will be watching and supporting her career closely

@DanielPriestley Easily the best year of music in my lifetime.

33 Years ago Nirvana released Nevermind, Metallica released the Black album, Pearl Jam released Ten, Guns n Roses released Use Your Illusions, RHCP released Blood Sugar Sex Magic and Sound Garden released Badmotorfinger…. All within 41 days of each other. This was a peak moment for humanity.

@PeteOSullivanPT A patient goal oriented approach beats an arbitrary score every time.

Observation: Whenever I am contacted by patients who have been disabled by chronic pain, to thank me for helping them learn to self manage - they never tell me about their pain score. It’s always the things they value that they have got back in their life.

@DanielPriestley If we score this by the quality of life index by country, its Luxembourg. By city it's, the Hague. Overall Luxemberg, Netherlands and Switzerland score quite high.

Where in the world is the greatest place to live and raise a family right now?

@rickygervais I was 13 when this came out. My dad paid me to take a load of roof tiles to the top of the scaffolding when he re-tiled our roof. Health and safety wasn't at the forefront of his mind.

No cheating - 1st Album you ever bought with your own money? Mine was “Stranded” by Roxy Music from Quicksilver Records in Reading. I was 13. I’d saved up and I remember being on the bus on the way into town clutching my 3 quid 😂

@Tony_Jeffries This was a masterclass in how to fight a taller and heavier opponent.

Pound for pound king right now? I think so… How he beat someone like fury who is 40lb heavier than him. No one else could ever do that from any weight class Ever.

@hubermanlab @PeteOSullivanPT and discuss this. He has spent years studying this and debunking some common myths about "core strength" and posture: youtu.be/AlNXwnS_7L4?si…

@PeterAttiaMD @drstuartmcgill I recently had the pleasure of interviewing @drstuartmcgill on my YouTube channel discussing the spine from both his and a surgeons perspective. Due out next week. See bio for channel link.

In this episode (Ep. #287) of The Drive, I speak with Stuart McGill, Ph.D. (@drstuartmcgill). We discuss the causes, treatment, and prevention of lower back pain and injuries. bit.ly/3OiOYos

@elonmusk I explain disc replacement surgery, when it may help and the neck trial in this video youtu.be/2fiDoJLOmas?si…

If you’re experiencing severe neck/back pain, I recommend looking into a disc replacement. If you do, err on the side of a disc with limited movement. A simple hinge is more likely to be effective than a high mobility artificial disc that can translate, as well as rotate.

Totally flattered by all who tagged me when they shared this piece. As @VPrasadMDMPH said, I wish I had written it.

This news reflects our current experience; as well as insured patients, we are also seeing significant increases in demand from self-funding patients who, as well as speed, are also looking for treatment options and choice. theguardian.com/society/2024/a… #backpain #spinecare

Age-related muscle declines are not as inevitable as you might think. bit.ly/4cLsjf0

I am strongly opposed to mandatory research in residency training-it contributes zero to a surgeon’s clinical acumen or maturity. I am also blessed to work in an open minded academic environment where my “heretic” opinion on this subject is respected and not used against me.

The truth about "manipulations" or "adjustments". They can be helpful in the acute phase but it's what you do thereafter that matters. At The Spine MDT we work together under the oversight of a Spine surgeon to decide if this is right for you and safe.

We are looking for our next @KingsNeuro #neurovascular fellow! @DanielWalshFRCS @NeurosurgTolias @RCSnews kch.nhs.uk/current-vacanc…

@mariacurt0014 @GaleKenny @BHRUT_NHS Thank you Maria

Today we said goodbye to @AnthonyGhoshMD a neurosurgical legend 💪🏻 @GaleKenny @BHRUT_NHS

@katie_bhrut @mariacurt0014 @GaleKenny @BHRUT_NHS Thanks Katie

@mariacurt0014 @AnthonyGhoshMD @GaleKenny @BHRUT_NHS Good luck in your future adventures, Anthony. Your patients and their loved ones always said lovely things about your work with them. Neuro won’t quite be the same without you 🫶🏻

If you asked me about greatest change over the 40 years I worked in the NHS I would say the loss of consultant autonomy. The horrifying story of the baby-murders at Chester and the management’s refusal to listen to the doctors is a ghastly culmination of this process.
