@adityam2000 @fletchjack Too busy moaning and wallowing in self-pity?

The GMC charges overseas doctors to sit an exam to practice in the UK In 2020, 3654 sat it In 2024, 19594 sat it A 436% increase in 4 years - all money for the GMC There aren’t 436% more jobs The GMC isn’t fit for purpose, is unethical & doesn’t have the confidence of doctors

First persimmon harvest before the frost! #gardening

First kiwi harvest - slightly small as only a 2 year old vine #gardening

@fletchjack 🤣

⚠️ Resident doctors working tonight ⚠️ The clocks go back. Trusts don’t usually adjust rotas - putting you and patients at risk. The safe limits are there for a reason. Rotas should be adjusted. If your shift this weekend is >13 hours, exception report it.

@FireflyAirlines Our flight has been retimed 3 times! Absolutely ridiculous! This is the worst service I have ever received. My elderly parents will have to wait around the WHOLE DAY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! We will avoid this airline at all costs. *PLEASE AVOID THIS AIRLINE*

@EWC_EN @MagnusCarlsen Would you consider making @GMHikaru the godfather to your child if he made you the godfather to his?

The goat of Chess takes the hot seat 🔥 Ask @MagnusCarlsen anything and you might get featured in an interview 👀

Scottie Scheffler just gave one of the best (and deepest) press conference answers ever heard.

@DavidChan023 @BURSTurology @EurUrolFocus @EUplatinum @veerukasi @benchallacombe @NikitaB0709 @hannahrwarren @CamEAlexander @mrSinanK @BAUSurology Definitely larger hospitals. Not sure about the small hospitals in remote areas. I am sure in Plymouth now your registrars don't see torsions 😉

@drtanws @BURSTurology @EurUrolFocus @EUplatinum @veerukasi @benchallacombe @NikitaB0709 @hannahrwarren @CamEAlexander @mrSinanK @BAUSurology I'm sure in the USA, these patients get seen by urologists instead of general surgeons first?

@BURSTurology @EurUrolFocus @EUplatinum @veerukasi @benchallacombe @NikitaB0709 @hannahrwarren @CamEAlexander @mrSinanK @BAUSurology In the USA ultrasound testes is always done by the time urology evaluates the patients. It's really a no brainer that it will add to the decision making regarding exploration. Congrats on the MA

Does body mass index impact outcomes after paraoesophageal hernia repair? Check out this paper from Drs Han and Low evaluating this question - now available open access in Diseases of the Esopghagus. #OpenAccess #SoMe4Surgery ow.ly/MeO250Vr3mR

@Nitrousman75 @davidnnaumann We are having this conversation as it's a public hospital. Why do 5 cases when you can get away with doing 2?

@DavidChan023 @davidnnaumann Does it ( theatre efficiency / turn over time ) matter whether you are in a public hospital or private?

Surgeons: What solution does your operating theatre have for efficiently doing operations that take 5-10 mins each? Doing 1-2 of these by midday is not acceptable. We need to share ideas. No point reinventing the wheel in operating theatres across the world!
