This time 2 years ago we waved goodbye to Australia to start our row across the Indian Ocean. We had no idea what the following 56 days would have in store... A stark contrast to working a plastic surgery night shift! #throwback #oceanrowing #doctorsadrift #plasticsurgerylife

Incredible achievement @RossEdgley 🎉🍾 - to “be naive enough to start and stubborn enough to finish” - sounds like a good motto for #surgicaltraining #plasticsurgery @BAPRASvoice @ASiTofficial 👨🏼‍⚕️

Great news that #AbhilashTomy was rescued successfully from one of the most remote and #dangerousplaces on earth. Stark reminder of how lucky we were to make it across safely @DoctorsAdrift 🛶🗺🌊⛵️

The sea was unbelievably rough. Me & my boat Thuriya were pitched against the nature's might. I survived because of my sailing skills, the soldier bit in me and my Naval training cut-in for that fight - Cdr Abhilash Tomy. Very thankful to #IndianNavy & all who rescued me
