- Replying to @RCSnews and @RACSurgeonsIn the grand scheme of things I think there are more important things for the college to be focusing on. The NHS is falling apart around us, our patients are suffering & staff morale at an all time low. Such pedantic arguments about the titles we use look totally self absorbed.
- Replying to @azmina_rose @SirBobKerslake and 2 othersHe won't. JH has never heard anyone else's words before, including tens of thousands of junior doctors. Why would he start now?
- Replying to @jiahweing and @rheum_cat4 weeks of maternity leave is inhumane. 😳 I still think the current UK allowance (52 weeks) is on the parsimonious end of the spectrum....
- Sometimes you read an article way outside of your field and just go "wow!". This is one of them. @RCSEd
- Replying to @dr_samehhany81 @JohnRTMonsonMD and 6 othersThe indication for surgery is QOL. They primary outcome should be QOL. Recurrence without adverse impact on QOL is only of interest to the surgeon. No recurrence with significant adverse impact on QOL is of key importance to the patient. Patient priorities should be 1st.
- Well, since there appears to be a vacancy.... Rumours that @bottomdoc has been considered for the role are apparently false!
- 0400, planning non-inferiority trials. The work never stops! #nuggets
- Brilliant letter from the ever awesome @brisgasdoc - 100% agree.
- Replying to @OrthopodRegScrubs is by far and away the most accurate medical show on TV. It nails the human side 100%
- 😳 "...surgeons are just meat mechanics..."
