Luckily Andrew Lovett was forgiving when I accidentally cut through the LMA cuff tube. Our MacGyver solution was to inflate with 10ml syringe and drawing needle, and clamping it with artery forceps. #anaesthetic #LMA #Surgery

Great meeting so far at #APSCI2023 in Korea. Dr Frank Lin presenting on ACHIEVE; continual study looking into hearing loss and association with dementia. #ent #cochlearimplant #otology

So many great talks and interesting researches into hearing preservation and restoration. I am proud of our Australian colleagues who are leading the way in this space. #apsci2023 #hearing #cochlearimplant

Very interesting statistic Re partial insertion for CI, although, I suspect requires lots of counselling as potential revision surgeries may be required when residual hearing may decline in time. #apsci2023 #hearing #cochlearimplant

Hello Eric. What are you doing on that machine ?

These elves are high on something …

Holiday fun with some power tools. Maybe I should’ve trained as Orthopoedic surgeon ? #flatpack #furniture

Dr Andrew Lovett can confirm I do not do any Orthopoedic procedures ! 😅 #surgery #ent #otolaryngology

Looks like my son will be an ophthalmologist after all. He had just performed orbital exenteration. #toy #surgery
