Humbled by a spleen. Good decision to back out and keep the fight for another day.

@KatPaton13 @aboabisabit @manLikeTeaa @mstotty88 @Dr_Rajiology Wether you enjoy the job or not, its still patients. Take the break u need and see where it takes u.. Hope u find what u are looking for. All the best.

[Theeva @TheevaKrish]

@Dr_Rajiology @KatPaton13 @aboabisabit @manLikeTeaa @mstotty88 Disagree. Nt to mull over a report done? Incase missing a finding? How the pt has fared if a surgical intervention is needed? This is self reflection on how well the radiologist has performed his/her job well enough and how to perform better nxt time.

[Theeva @TheevaKrish]

@KatPaton13 @aboabisabit @manLikeTeaa @mstotty88 @Dr_Rajiology My point being medicine may nt be a good fit for u if u want to b a dr and not think about pts after work.

[Theeva @TheevaKrish]

@Dr_Rajiology @KatPaton13 @aboabisabit @manLikeTeaa @mstotty88 If burnout is the issue, then by all means take a break etc. I am taking issue over her wanting to not worry about work when shift ends. That is not how it works in medicine.

[Theeva @TheevaKrish]

@KatPaton13 @aboabisabit @manLikeTeaa @mstotty88 @Dr_Rajiology Like it or not, they are still patients needing treatment. So yes, it does not matter which posting you are in. This a basic requirement of being a doctor.

[Theeva @TheevaKrish]

@KatPaton13 @aboabisabit @manLikeTeaa @mstotty88 @Dr_Rajiology Just out of curiosity, what did u envision working as a doctor would be like? Amongst other things, we always worry for a pt we hve cared for even after shift ends. Maybe being a doctor is not something for u after all.

🔥5 papers on inguinal hernia every surgeon should read🔥

Whole system research in surgery is the route to allow us to increase access and capacity, complimenting traditional specific surgical technique work.

The @NIHR_GSU HIPPO study included #inguinal #hernia from around the world, as it’s a common procedure that should be offered by every health system. It’s cheap, reliable, fast, but hugely under-researched in favour of rare and complex procedures that become popular amongst surgeons. Early surgery will return people to economic activity quickly and prevent costly emergency admissions. Ahead of that study, here are 5 papers in one tweet you should read:

💎1. The new HerniaSurge guidelines are a good place to start reading and cover high and low resource settings. Open, Lichenstein mesh repair likely to remain the global standard, with geographical expertise where technology advances (laparoscopic and robotic surgery). Bear in mind it’s an operation that needs to be performed by trainees, surgeons, non-surgeons, in a range of resources with and without electricity and running water.

💎2. If you reduce elective repair, you’ll increase the need for complex and costly emergency surgery. Timely and affordable access to surgery should underpin the delivery of surgical care, and be the foundation for more complex care (e.g. cancer and emergency services)
https://t.co/sBQv1dzLTY

💎3. Watchful waiting is useful for minimally symptomatic hernias, but most people will end up having surgery by 10 years. I use this amazing set of studies to advise delay until patients will appreciate the benefit of surgery and accept the risks.

💎4. Local anaesthesia requires basic training, is fast, can be done around the globe, and is likely to slash the carbon load of surgery:

💎5. 60 open hernias repairs are needed to gain competence – a realistic target for a training programme. Getting people back to school or economic activity quickly is a great outcom for a day’s work.
https://t.co/Gxf20R6tTK

Remember, there might be as many as 12M unrepaired hernias in Africa alone, with a backlog in the NHS that is approaching 100K patients. We are hoping that a whole systems approach from the HIPPO study analysis will provide actionable targets to improve access and quality, putting hernia repair – and thus elective surgery – in the gaze of policymakers around the world.

@drclaudia_p Read and re-read your article. Did not feel there was any insult directed at GPs. More like some oversensitive GPs who cant see the wood for the trees!. Well written article.

I disagree with "Don't just launch into writing with no idea of where you're going!"

Start writing. You'll figure out the structure through writing.
