Neurosurgeons are laid back. Very. They have cool toys. They have expensive toys. One in particular is an operating microsope and yet another is the Stealth Station.

??indecision??
So in a few weeks time I need to make my decision about where to work next year. The closer I get the less I want to work in any of the options. It’s all too hard. There’s too much to think about. I have been thinking about things for months now. And the more [...]

A Male Medical Bridget Jones….
Hmph. I am told by certain readers….that this here ramblings sounds like a male, medical version of Bridget Jones’ Diary. I don’t know whether to be humiliated or happy with a comment like that.
