Or have a Single(/Head) judge vote.

But this looked off tonight. 2:1 lead just tossed aside. Where’s the scrutineer, let’s do proper ballroom marking #Strictly #SCD #RobshawRobbed

This is A reason why it’s tough for surgeons, (particularly women surgeons on whose shoulders the ‘sorting out’ seems to rest) to impact, because it’s Too Late by the time we see them at F2/Core.
The damage was already done.

Yes me too - it’s mostly other specialisties who have bad memories of their short rotations as f1s or preconceptions of what a surgeons life is like who told me it’s not a job for a woman

My experiences of support from surgeons has been wholly positive: the *only* negativity I ever faced about career choices came in PRHO (F1) from physicians, possibly projecting their 1970s feelings about house jobs.

I was sceptical, for sure. But on balance glad #Masterchef was aired. Who would want to rob these guys of such a life-changing moment? Certainly not a couple of middle aged men of a certain class…

I don’t know which intrigues me more… eyeballing an “all-action doctor” or watching the man-slaying lion drive a weaponised jeep… 🦁 #Beast #SummariseAMovie #Film4

George flags have been popping up on M25 motorway bridges. Today they reached the approach road to the hospital. Where 48% of staff were born overseas, serving a population that’s 74% white British.

Really concerned where this is heading

Exclusive: Review uncovers misogyny and paternalistic culture at major trust An independent review of a major trust has uncovered claims of misogyny and a failure to deal with “unwanted romantic advances”, HSJ can reveal.

Not unique, I would suggest

“… multiple women reported eye-rolling and dismissiveness in meetings. Female surgeons in particular felt “constantly excluded” by their male colleagues…”
