Amazing successful first day back operating with an incredible team. #nevergiveup #keepsmiling @uhbtrust @BAUSurology @Royalbucks

21 months after being paralysed, multiple spinal operations, 8 months in hospital, 1000 hours of rehab, back working as a surgeon in the NHS. Never give up and keep smiling! #backtowork @uhbtrust @BAUS @SIA #spinalcordinjury #nhs

My new Apple Watch factory resets if I have it my blues pocket while performing surgery. I used to have an old one that did the same but had assumed it was dodgy! Has anyone else had the same issue? Could it be the diathermy (cautery)?

1/30 BREAKING 🧵 New @CommonsHealth report 👇 "Its a NATIONAL SCANDAL that senior doctors are being forced to reduce their working contribution to the NHS or to leave it entirely because of NHS pension arrangements" Highlights & my analysis. Pls read to end & share/RT👇.

Shout out to @ICARUS_collab for standardising the assessment of #intraoperative adverse events in #surgery and #anaesthetics

@adbeggs On a similar note, I’ve discovered that mice are partial to cookies (on a mousetrap). In my defence I try to catch them humanely first if possible.

In brighter news through a careful experiment I have discovered the cat is addicted to mince pies. She is currently trying to break in and eat the leftovers… #CatsOfTwitter

This is possibly the best thing I have seen on Twitter, ever. To all the anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-everything people, this is the logical conclusion of “freedom”. Please read it. All of you.

This is amongst the most illogical thing I’ve ever seen. In order to prevent the spread of a virus you cram thousands of people into a confined space for 7 hours?

Young surgeons! #Residents! Do not feel that you have to operate on every patient referred to you for #surgery. Patients & their docs appreciate this honesty. doctorsonsocialmedia.com/when-not-to-op… via @somedocs
