Thanks so much to everyone who’s watching my first TV series #CardiacArrest on BBC4 and iPlayer. Season 2 airs tonight at 10pm. And thank you to all the brilliant cast and crew who did everything to elevate scripts by a lowly junior hospital doctor with zero writing experience.

As usual, medicine has a lot to learn from aviation. Great to see an all female flight deck and cabin crew for #BA 1402.

On holiday in #ibiza and just finished the first half of @kamilashamsie’s #bestoffriends. What a heady mix of deja vu and nostalgia. Looking forward to then next half.

@kamilashamsie I didn’t want it to end! Every paragraph could almost have its own back story. Such richly layered work. A perfectly cooked lamb biryani? Vaah!
The BASIS study is currently accepting patients. They're investigating whether a night time only back brace is as effective as the current standard treatment of a full time back brace, in preventing the scoliosis worsening. Go to- basisstudy.org/

Another great infographic made by @ShoulderGeek1 & @clinicaledge I particularly like the cluster of tests to help rule out C-spine involvement. Another Q I ask is if they can lie comfortably on the shoulder that is hurting it’s unlikely to be true shoulder pain
