EIGHTY TWO percent. I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage in my first year as a consultant surgeon. It was devastating. She would have been 17 now. It's just awful to think this is such a common experience for women surgeons. 💔💔💔 #GenderEquity #ILookLikeASurgeon

Up to 82% of pregnant surgeons experience miscarriage, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. Occupational hazards, including prolonged standing, physical exertion, overnight shifts, and teratogenic exposure, contribute to these risks. ja.ma/4eUXVQn

Thank you for asking me this question I generally refrain from comparing medical scandals because they are all tragedies in their own way. The Bristol heart scandal arose because the unit had demonstrably worse results for paediatric cardiac surgery than other units, but was…

So Phil, as a leading person who has done amazing work to highlight scandals what is your view on the PA experiment. Is this bigger than Bristol.
