Decided to get back on the Twitter hype🐦 an into - I’m James & I don’t have the most normal of careers. I’m a medical Doctor working in Primary Care, Professional Rugby & Wilderness Medicine. I’m also a Safari Planner, Safari guide and Wildlife photographer 🐘 #doctor #safari

@AndyGoode10 It seems World Rugby want no discussion or interest on any of the World Cup Andy 🤪

My 5th year in the NHS. Most of my friends I graduated with are now in Aus. I love my job & the NHS, but pay degradation & huge workload are why I have started to diversify into the private sector (pro sport) & also a different career in the safari industry #JuniorDoctorsStikes

1st night shift done! 💪🏼

I can’t believe I was working as an SHO at this exact same hospital 7yrs ago.

Today, I am one of the many consultants who are supporting the #JuniorDoctorsStrikes

And this is how we bring down prey on the steep mountains... Only to stroll down and pick up the groceries.

This morning a lion was stranded on a rock in the Crocodile River.
Hippos came and attacked it!
Video coming soon, stay tuned.

@AndyGoode10 Sixways Rugby doesn’t even sound like a team name 😭😞

[Doctor In the Wild @DoctorInTheWild]

This is absurd. 3 slaps and 3 clear concussive events

[Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. @ChrisNowinski1]

This is so sad. Note the fencing posture with the first brain injury. He may never be the same. @danawhite & @TBSNetwork should be ashamed. Pure exploitation. What's next, "Who can survive a stabbing"? https://t.co/jTENpUmJDd

Wow 👀 I know there have been some questions raised recently about incidents in games but this is something else! #concussion #rugby #sportsmedicine #MedTwitter

Devastated to hear what’s happened to @WorcsWarriors. My hometown club which has given me so much and inspired me to pursue a career in Sports Medicine. A dark day for professional rugby #together #rugby #worcesterwarriors

[Duhan van der Merwe @duhanvdmerwe]

It’s been one hell of a ride @WorcsWarriors. Gutted 💔

[Jamie Shillcock @JamieShillcock]


The last dance.
Even with everything happening today, some boys still wanted to come in and keep going.
It doesn’t seem fair but we’ve done everything we can.
#together

[Robin Walker @WalkerWorcester]

Gutted for @WorcsWarriors players today, outraged the directors didn’t even bother to turn up to court. Urging administrators to do all they can to get the club through this & restore professional rugby to Sixways & urging PRL & RFU don’t take the P share & give us a route back

[Murray McCallum @m4gnet_]

I can see the players taking a pounding as we're directly involved with the club, but to go for the FANS 😂😂😂. The people that spend their hard earned money at Sixways every other weekend. The people who have kept this club going throughout their shitshow reign. Deplorable

[Doctor In the Wild @DoctorInTheWild]

I can only hope that Saturday wasn’t my last game as Dr for @WorcsWarriors. A real shame to see what has happened to this amazing club which has given me such a great experience in Sports Medicine so early in my medical career. Im sure we’ll be back! #rugby #worcesterwarriors

[Doctor In the Wild @DoctorInTheWild]

This is probably the most ataxic I’ve seen a player post head contact. Not personally seen anything as bad in rugby (yet!). I hope the player is okay. #concussion #SportsMedicine #MedTwitter

[Oklahoma Sports Bros. @OklahomaBro]

Prayers up for Keylon Stokes, my gosh.

[Doctor In the Wild @DoctorInTheWild]

Clear ataxia post head injury. In rugby union this would result in immediate removal from the field and constitutes an immediate diagnosis of concussion. Unsure of the protocols in NFL but quite clearly the player should have been removed #sportsmed #rugby #concussion #MedTwitter

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

This is what happened to Tua Tagovailoa after his head hit the turf hard. Not sure how you let him back in.
