Yet the cause of the disease has eluded scientists for years – stretching back to 1817, when it was described as the ‘Shaking Palsy’ by James Parkinson. Whilst we can treat some of the symptoms well, our management of the disease is limited by what we don’t know.

"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and second most common cause of male cancer death in the United Kingdom. The advent of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the early 1980s resulted in a surge of prostate cancer diagnosis, but its use for prostate cancer screening has fallen out of favor over the years, replaced by a general consensus that the harms outweigh the benefits."

"Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success."

"I absolutely LOVE emergency medicine. To anyone who’s ever spoken to me for more than 3 minutes, this is fairly apparent. So many features of it draw me in: it’s thought-provoking, exciting, general and it’s the only place in the hospital where you can get away with running through the corridors. Since second year, emergency med has been my baby and something that I take pleasure in revising."
