I want to tell you a story The story is mine, but the position I was in is not just mine, it’s a position many have been in It’s about the time I did one of the most frightening things I ever did And I’ve done a lot of frightening things… I ‘returned to work’ as a surgeon

So The Royal College of Surgeons of England The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh What is the response to this? Don’t tell me ‘we’re going to make LTFT more acceptable’ You expect people to be isolated, without support networks, travel hours to their hospitals, pay more than they earn for childcare, deal with the misogyny Redesign.

Simon Lammy It can feel like a personal attack, but when seen through this lens and - with it - the lens of differential attainment of say for instance mothers in surgery who cannot just ‘stay behind’, you may understand the response you had

Shockingly unsurprising I’m not sure I have all the answers but I’m trying to do my bit to account for this

6 non-neurosurgery books that made me a better neurosurgeon: The Black Swan - N Taleb The Culture Code - D Coyle Astronaut's Guide - C Hadfield Man's Search For Meaning - V Frankl Stumbling Upon Happiness - D Gilbert Thinking fast, Thinking Slow - D Kahnemen Any additions?

The AO classification for thoracolumbar fractures was always confusing to me, until I made this video to simplify it. Watch the new video through the link youtube.com/watch?v=tomY1B… Neurosurgical Atlas SBNS Ali A. Baaj MD Institute of Neurological Sciences BNTA Kevin Tsang Michael Nel AO Spine

The results of our survey looking on a number of different areas in neurosurgery training is available now Results already shared with SBNS and the SAC. Rosa Sun, Sheikh Momin Neurosurgery_z , BNTA. Training experience, LTFT, OOP, attrition 🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Being a surgeon is more than just cutting. Over the last 10 years, the best I have worked with have highly developed soft skills. Here are the 9 that will make you standout 🧵:
