Haven't wrote anything for a while. Had a good day at work today. Had a good teaching session with the 'boys' and did some work on the VLAD paper for the European meeting. The closing date is April 1st . There is however online submission of abstracts. Saw a patient at the Chase tonight.

Had a nice steak for dinner with a very good red wine. I will have to pop into the hospital tomorrow and then will have to get some work done and start writing chapter 1.

Before leaving work today, popped into theatre for a cigarette and unbelievably Patel is doing an elective Arch aneurysm in somebody with extensive aneurysmal disease elsewhere. This is the same guy who felt that I should not be doing a Cox-Maze - how disingenuous can you get. The patient must be a pp. I might just drop a note to Bob.
