I very often start a blog post with not entirely knowing where to actually begin, and this is much the same as any other time but it feels different. I recently opened up on social media about struggling with Imposter Syndrome and feeling like I was largely pointless. At my worst I couldn’t understand the... Continue Reading →
It had to be covered at some point, and the bones of the neck are an interesting little bunch indeed. Running from the base of your skull all the way down to the base of your neck is a neat row of bones encased in all the other stuff going on there. These bones are... Continue Reading →
My oh my, it’s highly cliche and pathetic of me to state but it is ridiculously hot while I am writing this. In fact it has been so hot the last couple of days that I was told one point a part on the roof of the hospital reached 40 degrees centigrade. Britain is not... Continue Reading →
I'm enjoying these neck appreciation posts and I hope that you are too! For this week I thought it would be nice to show you one of my favourite named parts of the body there is - the sternocleidomastoid muscle. This muscle is pretty big and you will all have felt or seen it, even... Continue Reading →
Not entirely sure where to start with a weekly update, in comparison to last week this one was fairly uneventful all in all. I wanted to get out my Neck Appreciation Post by mid week but I only got a chance to finish it yesterday which meant it posted today also because I like to... Continue Reading →

The last week has been an eventful one, and that is putting it mildly. With slowly coming out of quarantine comes a lot of things all suddenly starting to happen or being planned which is both exciting and absolutely overwhelming. Last update I gave clues that my practical assessment was pending, what I didn’t say... Continue Reading →
There’s something I’ve developed in my time of assisting with post mortem examinations that I’ve never really spoke about until now. I think the neck is just really cool. On the outside you might think it’s just there to hold your head up but inside it’s a wonder of everything contained in this small space... Continue Reading →
It’s true, shrouds do not have pockets. I heard this proverbial saying this week while my other half was binge watching Shameless and it hit me as not only true, but also annoying. What if shrouds did have pockets? I mean, it’s not as if you could fit much in there but it would be... Continue Reading →
Possibly a slightly controversial opinion but I think Buffy The Vampire Slayer is one of the greatest television series ever made. It has been there with my for most of my life and will always be a ‘go-to’ for me. I felt like I wanted to write this, and then considered how it might be... Continue Reading →
