Hi. Just dropping by to say that I have now set up an account on Bluesky. Hope to see you there.

Twitter was great, in the past. Whilst heading downhill before its change in ownership, X is not the same. Grateful for the many positive interactions here over many years but time to go into an extended and likely permanent recess. I’ll be deleting the App. Bye folks.

Prospective Trial of Water Vapor Thermal Therapy for Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Subjects with a Large Prostate: 6- and 12-month Outcomes buff.ly/3NnS2iW @DrHWoo #MedTwitter #Openscience #Openaccess

I used be addressed as ‘beloved’ or ‘dearest’ These folk have lost that more personal touch.

For risk adverse organisations like one of mine. The mantle piece has been constructed from re-purposed Styrofoam and it is understood that no animals were directly harmed in the production of the Santa hats.

This type of technology is very relevant although the energy source is laser rather than just ‘the force’ My colleagues at Nepean hospital are doing great work in this space Oh, the calibre is much finer than a Light Saber, in case you were squirming 9news.com.au/videos/health/…

Much of this fits well with the importance of non technical skills in surgery (NOTS) Star Wars themes could even potentially be a good fit for a surgical conference. It’s likely the last day of the RACS ASC in 2025 will prove to be May 4th Tell me what you think? /end rant

Own your mistakes as you can redeem yourself. There is a place for hope and sometimes you do need to believe in something you cannot see (or are yet see). I’m sure that there are plenty more /5

Some of the themes to come out of Star Wars are good to consider in the practice of surgery. Before you mention the not so good things, I’m just talking about the good ones………. /2

I am so appreciative of suggestions so far - many of them are simply outstanding. Reason I am asking:- I will be Convenor of the 2025 @RACSurgeons Annual Scientific Congress and it is never too early to think about potential international guests.

Can anybody give suggestions on the best female surgeon orators, regardless of specialisation and from anywhere in the world? Should be at the top of her field academically and is able to totally engage/captivate an audience?
