Strava gives a nice example of why ‘I can still do a round of golf’ is a good marker of fitness. 4.5hrs on one’s feet over 10k distance is no mean feat!

Come work with a fab, friendly and forward-looking lymphoma team. Working with renowned experts @AndyD1036, @PWMJohnson, @SeanHuaLim. Plus working with UK myeloma expert @JennerMatthew and top transplant unit @WessexBMTCT.

Such an insightful delve into the paradox of loving medicine whilst dreading the clinic or ward round…

Over half a metre of rain in the last 24hrs in Hong Kong, streets like rivers. But I’m certain the city will be up and running again this evening with a minimum of fuss.

There are many challenges in relocating, but watching your son’s rugby training in this amazing setting ain’t one of them!

Likewise - really sad to see clinically excellent nurses denied career progression opportunities without moving sideways into ‘leadership’ roles. Hopelessly rigid system. @UHSFT should blaze a trail of flexibility and forward thinking here.

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia!

This goes in the ‘ammo’ folder. Now just need one for the ‘could this be TB’ docs…
Very important data to highlight , consults for pancytopenia and requests for bone marrow biopsies in patients with advanced liver disease are so common, the biopsy is useless in 99% of these patients and the answer is to treat the liver disease #Medtwitter @AaronGoodman33

Kudos for the effort, but I suspect prophylactic anakinra is not going to get much traction.
Phase I study of prophy anakinra for axi-cel ICANS:
- 20 pts (10 received 100 mg qd, 10 received 100 mg bid, both x 7d)
- Gr3+ CRS 5% / ICANS 20%, no Gr5
- 35% needed dex
No difference in any-grade CRS & or high-grade ICANS compared to ZUMA-1. #lymsm ashpublications.org/bloodadv…
What an outstanding performance @GrangeFestival, Tchaikovsky’s Queen of Spades. As always, beautiful setting and idyllic picnic with Dr Chau. Was also very lucky to catch up with the show’s Director (and old friend/idol) Paul Curran a few days before.

I very much enjoyed my time at medical school, perhaps too much. The sixth year gave me an excellent opportunity to catch up on everything I’d missed in the first five…
