10. For early trainees: don't sacrifice thoroughness for efficiency All this being said: a huge part of rounding efficiency comes from experience. As you become more comfortable managing common problems and your knowledge base expands, so too will your rounding efficiency 🧠

Why some heavy drinkers don't develop cirrhosis ? The answer is in the genes. This great article summarizes the hallmark research hits implicating PNPLA3 gene variations and individual susceptibility to alcohol-related cirrhosis. t.ly/os6Rf

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst imaginable cock up, this ranks pretty damn near a 9.95. Especially bearing in mind quite a few who thought they passed are now well into being higher specialty trainees.

I’ve finished crying about this and now I’m just full of rage. How can you do this MRCPUK Examinations? I don’t understand. What do you mean your auditing processes found an error? 1.5 years later?! A refund and a free booking for a resit is not enough. Show us what went wrong 😩 (n/?)

I’ve finished the PhD journey and passed my viva! 🥳 I’m thankful to my examiners rachel cooney & John McLaughlin for a tough but enjoyable viva. I’m also incredibly grateful to have been guided and mentored by Kevin Whelan & Prof James Lindsay, who have been exemplary supervisors!

Now we have RCT evidence for tapered prednisolone dose for alcohol associated hepatitis - this significantly reduces infection risk 👏⭐️ 📸: Anand V Kulkarni AJG - The American Journal of Gastroenterology journals.lww.com/ajg/abstract/9…

We know up to 30% of ileal Crohn's patients can have a milder course even without therapy 💊💉 But how to we identify them? Only ~25% of patients with PreMiCC score of 0-2 needed therapy escalation at 3 years found by the PROGNOS team here: doi.org/10.1093/ibd/iz…

Prof Richard Pollok This study shows that increased staffing is associated with improved rates of pretreatment infection screening and reduced time to advanced therapy.
