Mr Jamie McConnell FRCS (Tr & Orth), Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. Or, as my eldest daughter puts it, 'Dr Bones'. DMs open. No clinical questions here please.

If you have had an MRI scan done privately, or at another hospital, your NHS specialist doesn’t automatically have access to it. Your GP doesn’t have it either. You need to let the consultant’s secretary know so we can get the images transferred to us.

@joybells49 Wow. You couldn't even be bothered to proofread your AI-generated "prayer". Such devotion.

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget True, but aggregation of marginal gains isn't a bad thing.

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget Eek

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget @GMIgorSmirnov Rook is pinning the knight, though.

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget Is it because you’re an excellent driver?

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@Saul_Sadka What have you got against Hadley Wood?

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@RobLaurensonD4P Yes. NHS Service Finder, it’s excellent. Also gives non-public contact info so you don’t have to wait on the phone.

@fourhourtarget @NotFarLeftAtAll Yeah, but being reasonable doesn't get you a clickbait TikTok video, does it?

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@Liesl_RW I once worked with a guy nicknamed Cheggers. I had to wait a few months, but eventually he turned up with a raging hangover, at which point I was finally able to deliver the line I had been saving: Cheggers can’t be boozers.

If you’re cringing at your old work, it means you’re getting better

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget I mean low-tech as a compliment, by the way. NHS stuff needs to be simple and battle-hardened!

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget We only recently moved on from fax machines, and have yet to achieve the white whale of a reliable PACS system, but sure!

The fastest way to attract what’s meant for you is to express yourself so honestly that everything misaligned falls away on its own.

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@ArunBaksi Nonsense. We do it because it’s ikigai: what someone likes and is good at, what the world needs, and what can be rewarded. All components are required and it’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@fourhourtarget Ok, I’ll hold you to that. If you post here again after 9pm, you must donate £100 to the charity of my choice.

@eigenrobot Does your company allow the use of things like GitHub copilot. If not, why not? And if yes, then you should be interviewing in an "open book exam" style. Ask questions that assume AI use and check for understanding, which is what you're actually hiring.

[Jamie McConnell @jsm]

@Langton_Steve @ClinOncDoc @lengreview I started out thinking I was clever. Medical training disabused me of that. Now I see others, with far less knowledge, speak with far more certainty. There’s a lesson in that, and it’s not flattering.
