I live with my wife, who is a GP, and my two year-old daughter at home. We don’t have any pets but my parents-in-law do have a cute Chihuahua called Mylo. On evenings off we watch lots of different TV series and try to relax as much as possible after a long day.

My Typical Day:
I’ll either be with my boss, performing brain and spine surgery in the operating theatre, or in the neurosurgery clinic, or triaging neurosurgery emergencies from across North and East London.

I’m usually in the hospital by 8am where we have a team morning meeting. We discuss all of the emergency operations that happened over night and what things need to be done for those patients that day.
We then have a meeting with the ward nurses, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists to discuss how the patients on the ward are progressing.
After that we all split up and go and see our patients and troubleshoot whatever problems they may have.
On other days we will be performing surgery in the operating theatre. This usually starts at 0830 and we will be operating until the end of the day. Sometime we finish on time if we are lucky (usually about 6 or 7pm). Sometimes it can take much longer.
There are also other days when we will be in the neurosurgery clinic, seeing patients that GPs or other doctors would like us to see, for a specialist opinion.
