Dear @sajidjavid, you clearly have very little understanding of what the NHS actually needs. Go and visit the wards, shadow the nurses and care assistants that are already at breaking point and ask THEM what they actually need. This ⬇️ is FAR from the answers you might find.

[Sajid Javid @sajidjavid]

Thank you to our health workers working tirelessly on the frontline to deliver for patients every day.

Nightingale surge hubs will help prepare us for any scenario but I urge everyone to #GetBoostedNow - to help ensure these hubs do not have to be used.

This is an utter disgrace that this is allowed to happen!! As a woman I honestly felt that pain reading this story and it utterly broke my heart! To Ryan and your wife I am so sorry this happened to you and for your loss ❤️ America you should be ashamed of yourself!!

[Ryan Hamilton @TheRyanHamilton]

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like.
Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out.
The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked.
I'll let you decide how you feel about that.
After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way.
The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?!
No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!".
Can you even imagine how that must feel?
The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck.
I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances.
So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved.
So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C.
They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home.
So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out.
They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her.
Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD!
God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done.
If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view.
It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be.
If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

This is how backwards my husband sometimes is. Been trying to sell a headlight for ages but no one wants it and it is just cluttering our house. So I decided to put a free sign up and leave it on the doorstep but my husband would rather brake it up and put it in the bin 😂

@NatashaMDay I think the most important thing for me is having colleagues who are supportive and I can vent to. Sometimes I do take patients home with me and that’s ok but not all of the time. Allow time for yourself whether it’s taking a long bath, reading or anything to relax.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

This man wants you to think that people claiming benefits are the problem.

Let's be clear, they are not.

Poverty wages are the problem.

Tax dodging millionaires are the problem.

Privitisation and greed are the problem.

Tories are the problem.

@glasgowsportsfa @__JB2201 @AvaSantina Just because something is “legal” doesn’t mean it is right. And if it isn’t then we should be questioning the law.

Today @RishiSunak claimed that waiting lists hit 7.7 Million due to industrial action by NHS workers.

Well that is a lie. Tory mismanagement is the cause.

RT if you think Rishi should apologise the NHS workers fighting to save the NHS.

#SOSNHS

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Please take two mins to watch this video from the TUC depicting how political decisions since 2010 have all but destroyed our once-great NHS, as waiting lists have soared from 4 to 7.5 million. It’s heartbreaking 😔

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Every single word Andrew says is factual and he expresses the sense of despair so many of us on the frontline feel…

This govt do not deserve to be guardians of our NHS!

Pls RT the hell out of this!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We couldn’t agree with this more.

Please RT if you do too.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully.

Pls RT if you agree.

@StN_Freda I work in the community and across our area it is standardised. But I find when a patient goes out of area and comes back or goes to hospital the patients come back with deteriorated wounds and sadly I’ve even seen some dressings cause harm directly to the patient

[Esheru @Eshprojet1]

According to the media, the 15 year old white boy, was definitely groomed by Phillip Schofield..

The same media has told you the Muslim Shamima Begum, wasn’t groomed, at 15 knew exactly what she was doing…

Make it make sense

[Ella MSc RN Adult 💙 @EllaPatrick23]

@ladbible Honestly, you’ve just ruined the twist for everyone!!

[Ella MSc RN Adult 💙 @EllaPatrick23]

@NurseStandard Once during the pandemic I got given a bag of kale (full size shopping bag) 😂 best gift I ever got was a pair of scissors designed for cutting bandages with a built in ruler and T-shirt remover! The patient even researched how much they could spend on a gift for a nurse

[Ella MSc RN Adult 💙 @EllaPatrick23]

@KMiddletonCSP I would even go as far as safeguarding that particular ward/area of nursing. Completely unacceptable.

[Ella MSc RN Adult 💙 @EllaPatrick23]

@StN_Freda I know lots of nurses part time and it hasn’t hindered their progression. One nurse I know works her bank shifts in a variety of different places and found it actually gave her a better overall experience

[Becky Ford @fordbecky290815]

My biggest “ick” in nursing is when people say “you’ll deskill in the community” at no point in my 11 years of working in the community have I felt deskilled. Being a community nurse is a privilege, if your reading this and thinking of a change please consider community nursing
