Are you even an ent surgeon if you haven't used a wooden tongue depressor to eat your lunch?

One of the best things about being a Brit in Australia is using colloquialisms that utterly confuse them. Favourite so far being my suggestion to box and cox with a colleague who had been booked a clinic in the same room. Raised eyebrows and the offer was politely declined.

Great meeting at ERS in Sofia with the perfect mix of science and culture. A society that is only going from strength to strength under the leadership of the one and only @SnotSurgeon

Just back from fantastic European Rhinologic Society meeting in Sofia. I am very honoured to become the Secretary General of the Society. For those who are members - what can we do better? For those ENT surgeons who are not -how can we convince you to sign up?

Retired doctors are getting a 10.1% pay rise this year. Working doctors have been offered 2%. Can anyone explain why retired doctors are worth more than working ones? Or, come to that, why paying this pension increase is not inflationary, but paying working doctors is?

How does everyone capture core data set for patients they see in clinic? (Snot 22 scores, eosinophil count etc). Surely there's a better way than manual entry to an excel sheet? @SnotSurgeon @fessdoc @otorhinosaurus

No doubt it's weak of teams to give up wearing the One Love armband, but I would have loved a referee to stick their hand up and say "screw you FIFA, I'll ref the game according to the rules"

Thank you Queen Elizabeth for your life of service and devotion to the country, not least by denying Boris Johnson the opportunity to announce your passing and do his awful Churchill schtick

If a patient has a posterior table defect in the frontal and no CSF leak, is it mandatory to fix it? Does that balance change if they suffer an intracranial complication of ARS? @SnotSurgeon @fessdoc @AndrewsNose @PennRhinology
