I’ve been around the block for a while so surgeons behaving badly rarely shocks me anymore but, uh, what the fuck. I’ll attach some screenshots below. This is outrageous, awful behaviour from multiple members of the same dysfunctional team. I am simply stunned hospitals put up with these people

The banter response would be to reply and include a sentence saying that they need to justify your pay level and, if they do not respond with 24 hours, it will be taken as agreement to double your salary.

Pop outside if you can - wrap up - clear skies and amazing views of Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, and Sirius incredibly bright near the southern horizon. Venus is so bright I had to check it wasn’t a flight heading to Heathrow.
