#Obesity is a pandemic with huge mortality and morbidity . In vascular surgery alone 40% of venous leg ulcer patients have BMI>40 a data free zone for intervention despite an earlier average age and long duration of pain and suffering

A clear summary of the effect of COVID-19 on global vascular services. Brutal for our patients, the backlog is the next challenge! Thanks to all who shared their practice with our team @VascResearchNet @VASCevidence @singvasc @COVERstudyAust https://t.co/7JO3c3SA7W

"Are you here to transport him down to the or?"

Me: "Nope. I'm his surgeon. Happy to though if it'll help get the case going"
