What are the best papers you’ve authored which haven’t gone anywhere despite you feeling they were impactful and citable? Mine is -When things go wrong- relevant to all specialties when you call a colleague to help pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/…

The hardest lessons after training aren’t always in the OR or clinic. 🙏 I wrote this essay for anyone navigating their first year as an attending. “Unseen Scars” in @JAMA_current 🔗jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

I’ve been a Doctor 36yrs & I understand why Residents have resorted to strikes 20% less pay than Drs in 2008, £100k student debt, poor working conditions/job security, higher pension contributions, longer working life as pension after 67yrs I had it good & Karol had it better

Doctor strikes going ahead. A poor decision. I have never striked for a single minute in my fifty plus year career in medicine, and I never will.

.@thomasdolphin from @TheBMA: "All we're asking for is for our pay to be valued the same as it was in 2008. We're not worth any less than we were 17yrs ago, we're not working any less hard than we were 17yrs ago, so why are we missing a fifth of our pay?" Exactly. Solidarity

Hepatitis C is now curable: can we eliminate it for good? Update on progress and the work of the Hepatitis C Elimination Programme by Hepatitis C GP Champion Julia Gasson: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Hepatitis C is now curable: can we eliminate it for good?

Most people with chronic hepatitis C have no symptoms and are unaware that they have the disease. Men are at higher risk of hepatitis C and more likely to have faster progression to complications....

All in the same storm but not all in the same boat. Junior doctors are asking for pay restoration - some from just £14/hour to £19/hour. That’s it. If the government can’t afford that then everyone is going to have to fund their own healthcare. And you really don’t want that!
