The secret to good relationships? Accept family and friends for who they really are

It can be painful to discover people are not who we want them to be. But once this is grasped, we can form much more meaningful bonds

Old problem- new solutions. The prostatic middle lobe- at the centre of so much that we do in #bph it has its own flow rate patterns, symptom profile, response to medications and treatment options. nature.com/articles/s41585-0… @bellagharbieh @NatRevUrol @DrFairleighR – at Greenwich, London

What is the point of doing routine 4ATs in the ED? Most of us will miss delirium and memory problems on brief reviews if we don't do some specific testing. You might think you're good at just spotting delirium. But you're probably not. (Neither am I)

1) look for infection, but don’t panic if no sign of infection because you can 2) rehydrate 3) treat constipation 4) stop anticholinergics 5) treat urinary retention (normally caused distressed behaviour) 6) give analgesia 7) assist with food 8) reorientate 9) involve caregivers

Replying to @drbillgibson @sean9n
Still, every delirious patient on the acute medical take must have a "confusion screen". B12, folate and TFTs on each admission. Of course a urine dip as well, for the UTI you see. But rarely a PR. Very rarely indeed.

Fantastic presentation from Bruce Gao @UofTUrology discussing racial disparities on outcomes for patients undergoing urologic surgery. Key to move from demonstrating and characterizing these disparities to addressing them.

Government interference in the DDRB has left the 'independent' body unfit for purpose. Our new report calls for urgent reform to restore it to its original purpose, autonomy, and authority’ Watch the explainer from @trentconsultant and read the report: bma.org.uk/pay-and-contracts…

I spent so much time 3-4 years ago writing this out every day several times a day, that it made sense to create this. Did one for prostate cancer treatment options too. Patients and relatives immediately saw their value. @imperialurology @IP_London

Thank you @soph_cash for referencing our decision aid. A real menu of BPH options available to men. Clear and concise information & adequate time for patients to digest the information is key #bph

Important to be familiar with instrument names. I know different names used depending on Geography. Anyone do a North American version for me? #SurgEd #CoreSurgicalTraining #BasicSurgicalSkills
