For any non-surgeons and anyone thinking about a career in surgery, these attitudes do NOT reflect modern surgery and were pretty extreme then. The surgeons I have spoken to are appalled by this portrayal.

But an even more welcome sight - as the incredibly helpful Nevis Cycles had a new back wheel on my bike and had us on our way in no time. On to Inverness tomorrow.

I have a husband and a child. I’m an orthopaedic registrar. Yes I want time to spend with my child, and I’ll be doing that since I’m going to be working Less Than Full time. I’m my departments first ever LTFT ortho trainee. Do it. Just do it your way.

I’ve persuaded @SueHillSurgeon to get back on her bike for a circumnavigation of Wales in August. We’re not looking for sponsorship this year - but please consider making a donation to charity and tag us in. Look out for updates from Mon 1 Aug.
