Oh! If you’re in the UK (or have access to a VPN), my actual mum is the subject of tonight’s episode of Surgeons: At The Edge Of Life on BBC2 at 9pm.
She had cancer in her jaw in 2020, so had to have a chunk of her jaw removed. Since then she’s had a bunch of surgeries to rebuild it - with varying levels of success. So when she was in last October they asked if they could film her op.
#Israel is already violating the #ICJ ruling issued last month as its military forces have raided #Nasser#hospital in #Gaza as well as arrested and detained staff, including #doctors and #surgeons who are desperately needed to save lives in #Palestine . Israel's actions are nothing short of #genocide and #illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
A short #film documenting the barriers that women #surgeons face in their careers will be screened at the Washington DC independent #filmfestival later this month. The title of the film is 1001 cuts and here is the link to more information https://dciff-indie.org/

Two Years After His Life-Saving Heart Surgery, JUDAS PRIEST's RICHIE FAULKNER Is 'Forever Grateful' To His Surgeons
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.
"Female #Surgeons say they are being #SexuallyHarassed, assaulted and in some cases raped by colleagues, a major analysis of #NHS staff has found..."
#BBCNews - #Female surgeons sexually #assaulted while operating https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66775015
The Times has the story too which i cannot access, but here is a sub head:
'One in three female surgeons have been attacked by a colleague'
And the take of the amazing Dr Liz O'Riordan:
"It's time to do something about the sexual harassment that trainee surgeons face.
We shouldn't need a report to tell our bosses not to grope us - but here we are
Let's make surgery a safer space for women"
