Looking forward to catching up with friends & colleagues at the European Knee Society meeting in Zermatt, & presenting our work. But first… it would be rude not to…!

Seen in the other place… Amazingly my kids’ school doesn’t have a bulletproof strong room in the corner. But that’s because the U.K. had 1 school shooting in 1996 then massively restricted gun ownership…

At what point is it more economical to build new hospitals than keep trying to patch up poor quality old buildings that aren’t energy efficient & aren’t best laid out for modern practices?

To see surgical pictures, like the ones published in journals: go to the WEBSITE bsky.app, then “settings”, then “moderation” and allow adult content. You can then select what you want to see. This can’t be done in the app. #medsky #orthosky Please amplify. This is a huge problem on this site

Looking at recent election results, there may be something to be said for the “strange women lying in ponds distributing swords” approach…

Practice your talk - lots! Make sure it fits the time slot. Get others to check your slides for legibility Speak slowly & clearly & make “eye contact” with the audience Relax - most talks at conferences don’t get many difficult Qs… try to enjoy it!

Battle chess was great. I recall we had a similar vintage Apple Mac LC475 - cost about £3k I think!

Not sure how many #OrthoSky contacts are on here, but here goes... I'm honoured to have been part of an international consensus group on loosening of total knee replacements with Prof Hirschmann, and delighted to see our 2 papers out online ahead of print: 1. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39010716/
