Lap hepatico-jejunostomy for bile duct injury (Bismuth IV) are humbling and demanding but so satisfactory (especially when patients do great long time after surgery).

I hope this might be useful.

Case delayed; patient ate breakfast.

Why did you eat breakfast?

I had a bowl of Cherrios… they said I was allowed to have anything I could see through. I didn’t know they meant liquids only.

The UK is rapidly losing medical academics and we need urgent action to reverse the decline. The Government needs to deliver a fair offer for medical academics training in England. We stand in solidarity with the UK resident doctors committee who have voted to reject the Government’s offer, which falls short in addressing the pay loss built into academic training.

Happy National Doctors’ Day:

Except for the GI doc who is making me get a HIDA scan to prove this is a bile leak.

I texted back my latest vision exam instead. He wasn’t amused.

A lot of people in academic medicine explain things in an overcomplicated fashion, in part to create a certain mystique around themselves and give others the impression that they understand things at some higher level than the average practitioner is able to.

It works especially well if the person sounds confident when they speak, because the listener will usually not have enough mastery of the subject to question them on it. People think that when they can’t understand what’s being said, that the problem is with themselves. Entire careers are built on this dynamic.

As learners, you have to recognize that this behavior is often false. True geniuses do exist, but are rare. The prevalence of individuals that truly understand things that no one else can is definitely much less than 1 per department.

The 2 take-home messages from this are:

1) In general you want your teachers to spend most of the time making things reductive; in other words, making them seem simpler, not more complex.

2) the confidence with which someone says a thing has little correlation to whether it is true or not. Being a good salesperson helps one’s career in medicine as much as it does in other fields, and you have to recognize when the person talking to you is bluffing.
