Hello! Aussie academic ENT Head & Neck surgeon & educator/speaker here with special interests in Head & Neck tumours, complex airway & teaching. I write about the fun things in life: communication, surgery, leadership, and terrible dad jokes. #ENTsecrets #surgery #scicomm ericlevi.com
It is finished.

The message of Christmas is joy, peace and rest entering a weary world. As a human being, I too, need to rest from all the major head and neck tumours, complex airway conditions, vascular anomalies & congenital malignancies that have kept our team occupied this year.

One of the harder things that I had to do this year was to write a letter with kindness and generosity when my raw emotion was anger and hurt. I wonder if you had to ever do a similar thing? How did it go?

The Team at Melbourne Ear Nose Throat & Airway Clinic says goodnight to 2025. It has been our privilege to serve you this year. Our office will open again on Wednesday 7th January 2026. May you have a restful holiday season.

Here’s an axial cross-sectional CT scan of a blocked nose. The septum and nasal bones are extremely twisted. Every blocked nose has a different cause: anatomical, allergic, sinugenic, tumour, etc. #ENT #surgery #surgeon

With 6 fingers and 6 degrees, the surgeon wields their scalpel. That’s not a knife. THIS is a knife.

Microscopic view of the vocal cords. Hoarseness/hoarse voice/dysphonia that is persisting could be a sign of something sinister. There are many lesions that can arise out of the vocal cords, from benign to malignant conditions. Get your dysphonia checked by a qualified expert. #ENT #surgery #surgeon

In the aftermath of the mass shooting at Bondi Beach, 50,000 Australians lined up to donate blood. Aussies literally went beyond thoughts and prayers and bled for the victims. Some of this blood donated voluntarily will go to the shooter in critical care.

My life was changed by a Jewish carpenter who would have celebrated Hanukkah with his community in the Middle East. I sit in the rubble & I stand with solidarity with my Jewish friends and colleagues here in Australia. Today the hospital paused to light the menorah in a beautiful ceremony of unity.

Thoughts & Prayers. And Actions: Donate blood, tighten gun laws, crowd fund, attend memorial services, light candles. Australia shows that you can retaliate with courage & kindness.

I know people who will walk into this Christmas season not with peace and joy but with pain and suffering.

Quotes, abstract theology & applied science do not bring answers.

Hope and healing need to be tangible through a person. We are wired for human kindness and connection.

It was meant to be a Festival of Light. Tonight we saw darkness in #BondiBeach Sydney. Men killing innocents. Lives are torn. Families broken. I am sad. I am angry. I want to sit in the rubble with families who lost loved ones and I want to stand with my Jewish friends. What an utterly evil act.

#Melbourne, this is what you’re inhaling. You’re still in the #pollen & #thunderstormasthma season. Don’t pack away your saline nasal rinses, intranasal steroids, antihistamine, puffers, masks and air purifiers just yet. Today’s forecast: moderate for grass and extreme for trees. #hayfever

There’s a big trend on #Airway health. Let’s get this right. It’s not #airways. You have one unified airway. And it’s way more than the tonsils. That’s such a small part of the airway. Even complex #drooling surgery is airway surgery. ENT surgeons have been managing airway disorder for years. #ENT

How did I get here? A long surrender in the same direction. Many surgeons will have a similar journey of 12 hour days 6 days a week plus additional oncall, research, exams, supervisions, conferences, presentations, etc. #surgeon #surgicallife #surgery #ENTsecrets

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

It’s a beautiful Saturday in Melbourne. Where else would you rather be than in the hospital with people you like running a mock exam drill for future ENT surgeon candidates? I love the skullbase. So exquisitely beautiful. #ENTsurgery #surgeon #ENT #ENTsecrets

Craftsmanship. Lots of similarities between a sushi master and the surgeon. Lots of differences too. Biggest difference is probably consent. #surgeon #surgery

Microlaryngoscopy is a procedure involving suspending the larynx and using a microscope to image diseases of the voice box and airway. We can then do biopsy, remove cancer with laser, inject the vocal folds, suture, implant, excise, etc. It’s a beautiful procedure on your voice box. #ENTsecrets
