Great to be back at KCMC Tanzania working with my colorectal colleagues
Can you help with a sustainable supply of affordable circular staplers ?

Truly *astonishing* research on marriage & cancer:

For “prostate, breast, colorectal, esophageal, and head/neck cancers, the survival benefit associated with marriage was larger than the published survival benefit of chemotherapy.”

Inaugural award please retweet esp if work in a LIMC

[Ewen A Griffiths @EwenGriffiths]

One of my tips is to keep every thank email, note or card. When the days get tough in surgery it is good to remind yourself of all the patients and families who are eternally grateful for you and your team’s care.

[mark chapman @maschapman1]

@EwenGriffiths Agreed but I’ve also learnt that you can learn from every complaint

[Helen Please @Hplease2]

Incredibly grateful to each of these groups for their generous support of our global surgery trainee conference! 💪 ✨Will you be joining us a week tomorrow? ✨

Quite a challenging article from @thetimes and quoting @rupert_pearse

Lots for people to agree, disagree and discuss.

[mark chapman @maschapman1]

@jdcamcolorectal But whose ?

[mark chapman @maschapman1]

Yes I agree still try and hand sew ? Am I a dinasour?

[Matthew Albert @TAMISYoda]

Is anyone else bothered by the single rogue staple protruding into the lumen with nearly EVERY left side eea anastomosis. Probably functionally irrelevant but aesthetically terrifying.

[mark chapman @maschapman1]

It’s called specialisation! You’ll be a prof soon

[Nitin Arora @aroradrn]

I’ve spent >2 years doing almost exclusively ICM. With a smattering of ASA1-2 daycase anaes lists

3 years ago, I was very flexible- believed I could do any kind of anaes from gyn/ortho to vascular/ thoracic

Now I’ve lost a bit of confidence

Please tell me I’m not alone

[mark chapman @maschapman1]

@UHBCEO What about the surgical team !! Happy Easter

[mark chapman @maschapman1]

[Andrew Beggs @adbeggs]

@aneelbhangu @mrnigeldsouza Depends. I had a lynch patient like this yday. Going for a capsule
