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/?)

Is there a role for neoadjuvant chemo for 🍇 invasive IPMN ?! 🌎 1k resected only 7% after NAT 👍 BR / LAPC no worse OS after NAT 🧪 CA19.9 indicates “biological” treatment effect 👉journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…
