Dear Dr McIndoe
I attended your Human Factors teaching session today. I just wanted to say, on behalf of myself and a few of the other F2s that I chatted to after the session, it was one of the most valuable and inspiring teaching sessions we've had since starting as junior doctors. We thought that a condensed version would even make a great TED talk!

Thanks
Jack
