@drdrewprovan: You can live without a spleen but there are real risks. Infection is the major one. Protect yourself by keeping your splenectomy vaccines up to date, get your flu jab, take your prophylactic antibiotics. Go to A&E quickly if you’re unwell. Infection can become overwhelming very quickly if you have no spleen. #medicine #hematology #splenectomy #overwhelminginfection #fyp

Another fantastic educational video, from Dr Provan. Not everyday do we get access to a senior hospital consultant haematologist. Take advantage of the Dr’s huge knowledge, by coming along to his lives at 8pm most evenings.
