UK orthopaedic trainee with an interest in upper limb surgery and teaching, prone to bouts of wanderlust and a serious caffeine problem. Views my own.

Just a quick update on this:
Had the below (definitely not a scam) message from “Andy”, who I do not think I will be sharing my email address or phone number with 👍🏻

[Dan Thurston @humerus_af]

Last month I had £500 deducted for student loan, despite paying off my loan in 2020. Payroll admitted they ticked a wrong box but won’t correct it without SLC confirming I’m paid up. Cue hours of phone calls to sort out & beg for a refund.
This month they’ve deducted £600. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@jwjlin Don’t count on it 🥲

The BON T&O careers fair. An amazing day spent at ROH with medical students and junior doctors interested in T&O

[Dan Thurston @humerus_af]

@Dogtor_Erin The pain of loss can feel overwhelming and that is natural; it would be a lie to say it ever really “goes away”, but with time, and a strong support network around you, it becomes more manageable. Here if you ever need a friendly ear, Erin.
