Brilliant presentation. You have given me a part of my jigsaw, that you must have found down the back of the settee, that a couple of doctors couldn't find.

Hopefully this has helped my #hypermobile and #neurodivergent kindred and their doctors and now psychiatrists with my work The Royal College of Psychiatrists . Rest in Peace.

I know you can’t always get what you wan’t, but sometimes you get what you need.

4/I wanted to say thank you for all he did and that somehow bizarrely helped lead me down this path of work and understanding and hopefully educating and informing others through our Brighton and Sussex Medical School research.

3/He diagnosed me with #JHS (now #hEDS) and arranged for me to go to a functional restoration programme (aka pain rehab). This was the start of my journey of brain-body understanding. I learned today that he sadly has died.

2/As I contemplate the tricky thought of going back to pain rehab, I remembered Dr John Outhwaite, who pulled me aside and told me I had #swaybackknees, on an orthopaedics rotation as a medical student at Oxford.

Listening online from South Africa to an outstanding talk by Dr Eccles at RCPsych meeting. What a privilege to hear her speak. Resonates so much with my clinical practice.
