Read this very soon after excitedly taking a photo of an actual locker with my name on it (first time in 13 years of surgical training!!). Amazing how little it takes to improve morale. Equal size locker rooms with a predominantly female workforce is part of the problem.

In the last few years I have been lucky enough to work with the most supportive and wonderful consultants, male and female One of them asked me ‘is all this sexism & sexual harassment in surgery stuff true?’ And I realised, despite my own discomfort, I had to speak up

Best to ignore LNs on CT to stage colon cancer. Focus on - tumour stage (>T3c) - EMVI - tumour deposits (the bad nodes) @DaniloMisko looking at this with @prof_gina_brown @AmyLord1 @muti192 and I have also looked at this with Prof Brown.

Many of these "high risk" patients (as per NICE guidelines) actually have an excellent prognosis and are unlikely to benefit from radiotherapy, but may well suffer side effects and long term harm.
