I’m Nicholas Maxwell, MD — surgeon, author, sailor, soccer player, adventurer.

36 years in the OR taught me judgment. Life outside it — family, boats, the pitch, travel, and mission work in Nicaragua — taught me the rest.

Here I’ll post about medicine (including where AI helps and where it doesn’t), sailing, soccer, service abroad, and the stories behind the memoirs.

If that mix is your thing, follow along. More at https://t.co/ryanHDQz1I

Grew up watching cartoon cars fly through the sky and figured I'd never see one. Now a Roadster inspired by the SR-71. What took your breath away as a kid that's real now?

Thankyou @elonmusk and @Tesla for bringing us the future today

[Tesla @Tesla]

Our design language has evolved since the last reveal: from S3XY to Cybertruck, Cybercab & Optimus

Roadster is inspired by the SR-71 & F-35

@elonmusk @garyleff @Delta Once again, some people are making decisions dependent on personalities not product. There is no doubt that @Starlink is better than sliced bread would have been for our ancestors! I think I’m flying @united .

[Nicholas Maxwell @nick360brit]

@SpaceX @Starlink Congratulations @SpaceX and @Starlink . Although I had complete confidence the entire time. A company of geniuses led by a truly inspirational savant @elonmusk . Can’t wait for the next launch. Go, Go, Go.

@XEthanai What a beautiful sight. I feel like we are watching a sci-fi movie and have to kick myself. This is real this is @SpaceX

[Nicholas Maxwell @nick360brit]

@XEthanai OMG so Awesome. Mars, here we come!!

[Nicholas Maxwell @nick360brit]

@DrLizaMD Agreed. After 36 years in the OR, what changed the plan most often wasn’t another panel of labs—it was what the patient said and what my hands found. The exam isn’t a delay before testing; it’s how you know which tests matter.
