Gen Surg SpR. Cycling, running, gardening, and watching Scottish football when I can bear it.

Genuinely insane to post this, completely ignoring how he died, who was responsible, that they have remained a member of your organisation for the last two years. Add UEFA to the complicit in genocide list, if they weren’t there already. Shameful.

What can you give to a river that needs everything?

This Christmas I decided to give my river the gift of life, in the form of willows trees. I headed out on the River Roding in my canoe, from sunrise to sunset on the shortest day of the year, to see if I could hand harvest & plant 100 willows in a day. Here’s how I got on…

Created by immigrants - refugees welcome

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

Dan Poulter was an ex junior dr of mine and literally brought in every policy that has destroyed the NHS

He is joining the Labour Party so that post election he can be a medical advisor to the next Labour government.

It worries me what advice he will give

@Keir_Starmer if you want a passionately pro nhs doctor I'd be happy to advise.

I've also spent my career trying to help the nhs not destroy it.

@CorcoranEamonn Need your eyes checked - absolutely never a penalty. Sutton’s obviously biased (as am I) but I think he’s got this one spot on

@BassemZsurgeon @SomersetFT Great to have worked with you Bassem! All the best in Durham

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

Interesting first session focusing on the challenges of optimising patient care following bariatric tourism at the @bariatricBOMSS training day, including a nice case study from @SevSoSurgery’s own @naimslim

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/29 We need to talk about these graphs 👇

We have nurses & junior doctors on strike & consultants potentially joining them very soon. Lets talk about inflation & pay. How to fix this car crash (& perhaps more importantly, how NOT to). Please read full 🧵 to end and share / RT

@ThangamMP @space238venue Shame you didn’t get a chance to come talk to those on the picket at southmead or the BRI like @carla_denyer did

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

Congrats @BassemZsurgeon escaping the training ladder 🎉

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

@naimslim You forgot ‘Resign number, move down under…’

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

@manukwij @lauraedwa89 @SomersetFT Haha I wish

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

Start at a new hospital tomorrow which has the dangerous combination of an M&S and a long commute. Going to be a daily battle of will power not to have a bag of Percy Pigs for every drive home…

Embarrassing moment in the post office - asked to clarify the postcode on a parcel and had no idea despite it being my writing. Some stereotypes about doctors can be true…

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

@HugoCohen8 @ResearchDefence @TriScalpel Congrats! But why did they make you have your photo taken on a Van de Graaff generator?

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

Long but enjoyable day in the saddle - 175km distance, 2800m height gain, and great company at the @DartmoorClassic

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

Really interesting few days at #BOMSS2022 - my first BOMSS but doubt it will be my last! Trying my hand at a sleeve on the training day a particular highlight

[Marcus Quinn @Marcus_Q]

Great fun finally having a go on an @IntuitiveSurg robot @asgbi. Looking forward to the day that every GI surgery department has one and even us junior registrars get to play.

@EdNevins @OrthopodReg @RCSEd @RCSnews @rcpsglasgow @RCSI_Irl Think you don’t actually have to pay college fees - until it becomes necessary i.e. covers portfolio or has other significant benefits I’m quite happy not being a member for now, saving hundreds/yr and not using the letters after my name…
