I find this worth repeating. There is no such thing as a simple extraction. Dentists need to remove this term from their vocabulary.


A super opportunity for a young dentist to work in NHS Lothian. Take advantage of high-quality training in dentoalveolar surgery from my friends in Edinburgh and experience a rotation in a well-supported regional OMFS unit. Applications close 18th Oct. apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/Job/JobDetail?…


Finally managed to win the Wordle enough times that my win percentage rounds UP to 100% again!

I watched season 3 ep 1 of The Fall last night, and it was the best depiction of a medical emergency/resus I've ever seen in film or TV. I had to Google the actor playing the A&E consultant (Richard Coyle) to check if he was a former doctor. Great stuff, well worth checking out!

Had a wonderful day at the @BAOS_UK conference in Newcastle. Hopefully the audience at my presentation were not too distracted by the epic Tyne bridge in the background!

After wearing it proudly every day for 6 years, the clip on my @rcpsglasgow lanyard broke this week. Is there any way to get a new one? I've been asking at conferences for a spare for a while now but never had any luck

Ok, what’s your unpopular opinion in medicine that will get you in this position?

During lockdown, my partner and I searched through 4000 movies for any reference to dentistry or dental treatment, and evaluated how the profession is portrayed on film. Our findings were published in @The_BDJ this week. nature.com/articles/s4141…


A self-assessment form for a FY doctor job that is so completely bananas, I had to very carefully check it was not a parody. You get points for being an international athlete and a small business owner, but publications don't count if the journal isn't PubMed indexed. Madness.

Not only you have to be a medic, now you have to be a business person, athlete, volunteer, musician, actor, and run a business?! yorksandhumberdeanery.nhs.uk/sites/default/… I feel bad for the applicants 😩

Another superb hour of comedy from @TerenceHartnet. For two consecutive years he's delivered one of my favourite shows of the Fringe. Definitely worth checking out the 1 Ball Show if you're in Edinburgh


With exams coming up, I can't go to my usual few-dozen Fringe shows this year and have to be more selective. Beyond excited to be kicking things off with Stuart Goldsmith @ComComPod today, whose show last year was my absolute favourite of 2022's Fringe


Dear Susan, Thanks for your kind offer of free accommodation. Unfortunately, I won't be attending your predatory conference. Sincerely, "Dr. Doctor"

Visiting Florence, a city of beautiful art, sculpture and architecture. The most exciting museum exhibit I have come across? The lower right first molar of St John the Baptist!

A huge loss. Without a doubt one of the best and warmest and most passionate teachers I've ever met. A wizard with chalk. RIP

We are all very sad to learn of of the death of Stuart MacDonald, latterly Professor of Clinical & Forensic Anatomy @UofGlasgow & one of our favourite @UofGDental teachers. His lectures were both entertaining & a work of art. He will be sorely missed
