May he rest in peace

[Dr Andrew Ross @AndrewrossDr]

@DrAsifQasim RIP. Spent some time benefiting from his teaching back in the 2010s. Also some time reeling from his hilarious retorts to any wrong answer!

Thanks to @NEJM for helping raise awareness of how dangerous swallowing multiple magnets can be for children. This remains a serious problem unfortunately.

This can result in devastating injuries to children. We are working hard to raise awareness of the dangers of a swallowed button battery so that this xray becomes a thing of the past. @BAPS1953

An 11-month-old girl presented with a 2-week history of progressive dysphagia and cough. A chest radiograph showed a foreign body with a “double-ring” sign. Torrential hematemesis subsequently developed. Full case details: https://t.co/RveWgtgLWQ

A really good visual demonstration of why magnets can be so dangerous if swallowed. Sadly we still see the damage caused all too often.

@silv24 Male, no. Caveat surgeon, it would if I were a physician though I think.

[Dr Andrew Ross @AndrewrossDr]

@aneelbhangu @RachelHarwood10 Sure, I think you have my nhs mail still

[Dr Andrew Ross @AndrewrossDr]

@aneelbhangu @RachelHarwood10 I think so for clarity of learning in particular imaging recommendations and use of paediatric scoring systems as @RachelHarwood10 said, her teams work with GIRFT produced an excellent paediatric acute abdominal pain pathway. https://t.co/uxnMKywXT7
