I had laser vision correction, which consists only of superficial interference in the structure of the eye, so I can’t imagine a whole eyeball transplant. BTW you have to appreciate with what a sensational effect this man’s face was reconstructed!

The #Palestinian Red Crescent Society said it received 10 #aid trucks in #Gaza on Fri through the #Rafah border crossing, 6 for the #ICRC & 4 from the Egyptian Red Crescent. It said the trucks carried #food & #medical supplies but no #fuel, which #Israel has blocked from entering. The ICRC said earlier that #war #surgeons entered alongside the trucks.

Incredible - "...her #surgeons performed osseointegration during the attachment procedure, a process that directly fuses bone to the #implant, ideally creating a stronger mechanical connection. They also implanted #electrodes in her arm muscles and #nerves, as well as rewired some of her nerves in the remaining part of the arm. The result is a #robotic limb that’s directly connected to Karin’s #neuromusculoskeletal system."

Welsh doctor stands by claim female surgeons who experienced sexual abuse should toughen up.

"Medicine is not alone in having a culture of bullying, sexual abuse verbal or otherwise, and banter that’s in bad taste."

Well that's ok then. I'm glad he's cleared that up for us silly girls.

When I was growing up, I was led to believe that the wretched old pervs hiding behind bushes, wearing nothing but for a soiled mac and wellington boots, were a rarity. A threat,yes, but rare. Now I'm beginning to wonder if they are not everywhere.

For the third time since 2010, a review of the #CardiacSurgery division at the #QueenElizabethIIHealthSciencesCentre in #Halifax acknowledges that some people are not being held accountable for their behaviour at work.

The #review happened as #complaints about #harassment , #racism , #intimidation & other forms of #abuse by some #cardiac #surgeons directed at other members of the division, including #nurses , #perfusionists , #SupportStaff & #medical #learners emerged.

n 2019 at UCSF, perioperative ACP rates were low (14.7%) among all groups; however, rates were lower among men & patients with Limited English Proficiency. These low + inequitable rates show that perioperative setting is a missed opportunity to engage older surgical patients👇#surgery #management #trauma #hospital #surgeons #science
