@Xeon4f145d96s1 This made me snort laugh for about 5 mins. What a superb tale. I’d have passed you for that too!

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@DrJSherrington For me @DrJSherrington it’s “mechanical fall”. All falls are mechanical!

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@Ortho_Cherry Well done Vicki

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@DrConnos @DickyShoulder This is my technique too, small first, biggest case second

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@halseyhands1 Yes, Dark side of the moon, Back in Black, Zep IV …..

@Ortho_Cherry @TharushaGunawa4 Me too Vicky

A seriously pissed off superficial peroneal nerve following plate fixation of a distal fibula fracture. Index OP was over 2 years ago, and the patient has been plodding around with neuropathic pain since.

@Ortho_Cherry Smashing it! I was struggling with 100kg back squats this evening. Chapeau!

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@Ortho_Cherry @leachvj High praise! And you are correct

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

10 min story on Kenyan TV this morning. Thought of you @WillLeoHawkes @flygirlNHM

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@Ortho_Cherry …and quite jealous!

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@Ortho_Cherry Definitely, it’s my flexibility that lets me down, rather than strength per se. Which is why I’m genuinely impressed with your lift

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@diving_digits Honestly I’m with @jmceachan on this. I’ve never seen a problem. Small risk of surgery vs definite risk of terrible sensory loss

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@BMA_JuniorDocs You have my full support. You are my consultant colleagues of the future, and will inevitably be looking after me as I age. Stay strong

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@halseyhands1 Happy Birthday Tim 🎂

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

This is so true. I weep for my primary care colleagues who are really struggling at the moment. We as a country are letting the NHS slip through our fingers

[Louise stone @GPswampwarrior]

Dear Santa, I would like to put in my Christmas List as a GP with many, many years experience. I don't need much, but my patients do. Here's my list

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@diving_digits It’s moral injury Claire. Every week we vet about 10 more than we can see with current resources

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@Dupuytrens @dupuytren No, we’re re based at St Michael’s Hospital in Hayle.

[Rob Poulter @CornwallHand]

@Dupuytrens @diving_digits @halseyhands1 @dupuytren @BSSHand @AlKo73 @JayPaniker @coghandsurgeon @mrphilipmathew We’d love one in the Cornwall Hand Unit
