“I’m not doing more IOC’s. They cost more, take more time, and there’s no proven benefit“, says the surgeon.

“They’re not going to tell me how to practice surgery.“

“OK, I’m ready to dock the robot.“

@NEndoscopy Have you done any EUS GJ for benign disease ?

Resident doctors are only asking to be paid as much as a physician assistant. Why is that such a difficult pill to swallow?

Most people have no idea how bad the UK doctor training system really is.
It demands double the training time of other countries, pays doctors less at every stage, and then often keeps them “junior” even after they finish all their training.

Look at the numbers.

Conventional medicine is effective but prone to overinvestigating and overtreating

Alternative medicine is generally harmless but unproven

Functional medicine often combines the very worst of both worlds..using endless tests and treatments, none of which are proven to work

One simple way to help treat your imposter syndrome is to spend some time watching your colleagues in the OR in real-time where you can see that they struggle in the same ways that you do.

Remember that online videos tend to show a sanitized version that omits much of this.

Nice timing Carlsberg Marstons! Closing Bank's, Wolverhampton, in time for the brewery's 150th anniversary! Bank's Mild & Bitter favourites. Carlsberg's destruction of our brewing heritage forges on.

Don't fuck around with farmers.
This guy landed in a farmers field without permission to watch the sinking of a ship in Enniscrone yesterday.
So the farmer parked in front of the chopper and raised the bucket near the blades.
Put the keys in his pocket, & walked away 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emily Maitlis, "Populist parties can shape shift between the right and left.. It's not an ideology.. It's a means to achieve and retain power"

We saw this with the Conservative party in our recent election where Rishi Sunak would use words like 'surrender' if people chose to 'vote' for Keir Starmer

And we see this now in the US where a former president, Trump, trying to reelect himself as president, is telling lies about the current US vice president who is trying to be elected as president, saying that she doesn't support Christmas

Countries prosper only when politics shifts from personal enrichments towards public service

“I genuinely think that they're slowly trying to replace doctors…”

Junior doctor Eilidh calls @mrjamesob to express her concern with the expansion of 'physician associates' in the NHS.

Not sure I’ve seen a clearer example of why the #nhs needs complete reform. Under £100k for the chief of children’s heart surgery @GSTTnhs. Are you kidding ?? 🤔🙄

You don't need the best brains in the country to tell you why doctors are moving out of UK after training.

It’s interesting that this case

- which rests with the decision to sedate rather than anaesthetise (which is judged here to be safer)
https://t.co/usBsTEZMcU

Comes in the same week as this case

-in which the criticism is of the decision to undertake general anaesthesia instead of deep sedation
(which is judged here to be safer)
https://t.co/Jv15XIc6fl

Both key to recommendations to prevent future deaths

Albeit both may be right….

….medicine is complex and requires careful, often time sensitive, high stakes decisions and actions. Anyone telling you otherwise doesn’t understand and hasn’t done it.

If you fail to understand the causes of a disease, you can’t find the cure, you just manage the symptoms.
