I hope folks enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

"Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth."

Still though, wear sunscreen folks.

“For me, nothing beats the power of face-to-face learning. This year's 'People's' programme is designed to cater for our everyday needs at the coalface. I’m looking forward to the face-to-face small group learning sessions, a golden opportunity for knowledge consolidation - there are a lot to choose from, and they give us the chance to ask the questions we want answered: this is world-class learning - don't miss out!” -

TL:DR- patients having operations that started between 1300 and 1800 had statistically significant increases in postop complications, compared to pts with operative starts before 1300.

Next question- I'd love to know the results for ops starting after 1800. 🤔
