Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window. We were a family of six living on a teacher's salary at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I'd get to it someday. The frame was rusted shut. I couldn't fix it.

@theveindoc @BrooksMedBris But no adult seats unless they’re legless

@benmcbean My grandfather for life carried many of these within following his critical injuries at the Somme in the FWW. He survived - otherwise I wouldn’t be here

@iowmillie Keep at it. It’s increasingly wonderful with experience and medicine has enough highways and byways for everyone’s specific interests and aspirations

@fleurrbie @theiaincameron Poor foot! #metatarsal?

[Henry Marsh @DrHenryMarsh]

If you asked me about greatest change over the 40 years I worked in the NHS I would say the loss of consultant autonomy. The horrifying story of the baby-murders at Chester and the management’s refusal to listen to the doctors is a ghastly culmination of this process.

@SheilaSobrany @yvonnecoghill1 @eveosh This is really wrong. The seven consultant paediatricians who all spoke out and were involved are of several ethnicities

@tesla_genius @Larry_Short @TimeTriping @fasc1nate Nowadays aircraft manufacturers do exactly that

@Liz_ORiordan So sorry Liz. I’m thinking local resection and maybe small rhomboid flap and when healed followed by local efudix cream applications

@MarkusZiesmann @rbarbosa91 The pregnancy is certainly an issue for the anaesthetic

[Andrew Baildam MD FRCS @AndyBaildam]

@rbarbosa91 Non operative management but be prepared to operate. If she settles then elective appendectomy at 24 weeks when the foetus will be safer than 18 weeks

@LifeAfloat Thank you for this. And for the link to Dire Straits.

@Liz_ORiordan @YouTube But advise not to use roll on deodorants in the several days immediately prior to an operation

@DrSteveTaylor As an NHS consultant I was emphatically instructed by management not to refer on to consultant colleagues on many occasions, but to refer back to the GP. Nothing to do with being thought ‘special’
