The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words — and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity.
Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.
Today’s resident doctors probably wouldn’t strike either if like you:
🔸Pay wasn’t cut 22%
🔹They didn’t have £100k student loans
🔸They weren’t being replaced by “associates”
🔹They had free accommodation early on
🔸A house was 3x rather than 8x salary
🔹They had job security
@AlBonDeega@DrEilidhMaria If we’re barely more qualified than nurses why do nurses escalate to us when patients deteriorate? Why bother escalating to someone who you think has no more knowledge/capability?
@AlBonDeega@DrEilidhMaria Having been both a nurse and an FY1 previously, you’re just wrong mate.
Things FY1s do that nurses can’t:
Prescribe medication (antibiotics, pain relief, ANYTHING)
Request ionising radiation (X-rays/CTs)
Assist in surgery
Be responsible for more than 6 patients at a time
Hannah, a paediatric nurse: "A lady.. 30 wks pregnant, she came in after being in an explosion in her tent, & shrapnel.. cut through the unborn baby.. the baby had been cut through its abdomen & legs & did not survive"
UK politicians & media: death to the IDF is hate speech
In just the last 72 hours in Gaza:
- A Palestinian girl shot by an Israeli sniper while playing on the beach.
- A baby lying beside his amputated leg.
- A girl begging her dead father to wake up.
- Countless charred bodies pulled from rubble.
Hell on earth.
The illegal attacks on Iran by the United States are reckless beyond belief — and threaten the safety of humankind around the world.
Diplomacy was possible. Instead, a catastrophic war has been ignited by the aggression of two nuclear states, Israel and the United States.
Meanwhile, the genocide in Gaza continues unabated with the shameful military support of our own government.
The last Labour government made the mistake of following the US into a devastating war. Human beings abroad paid the price.
This Labour government needs to learn the lessons of the past, otherwise it will be remembered for the more dangerous world it has helped to create.
I echo the call made by the UN Secretary-General: “There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”
I am not against ANP and ACPs
I am against ANP and ACPs being used as doctor replacements
I am also against ANP and ACPs that feel they can happily be used as doctor replacements
At no point as a medical student did I think I was a doctor
At no point as an F1 did I think I should be doing Reg shifts
At no point as a GP trainee with a masters in paediatrics think I was better than a paediatric trainee
I've never seen a country bomb as many others in just 3 years as Israel has—Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Iran. Any other nation would be called a threat to global stability. But Israel gets weapons, cover, and a blank check. How long can this go on?
The NHS is genuinely an awful employer.
It’s been a little over a year since I left and joined a GP practice and it’s been wonderful.
I look back at my time as a resident doctor, and particularly my time as co-chair of the BMA, and remember continuously reflecting on how bad things were.
Your concerns are legitimate.
The old guard doctors are often out of touch.
The media don’t have a clue.
The public can not comprehend.
The NHS says a lot of utter nonsense and take no action - they either don’t understand or don’t care.
THINGS ARE AWFUL FOR RESIDENT DOCTORS.
The lack of agency.
The lack of autonomy.
The disrespect.
The insane and illogical hoops you’re asked to jump through.
Everything you hate is legitimate.
Strike.
You’re justified in doing so.
Don’t look away
LOOK at this child! Walking through fire as Israel bombed another “safe zone”
We are witnessing evil beyond comprehension, EVERY SINGLE DAY
WTF is the world waiting for?
WHAT will it take for their meaningless words to turn into action?
IS THIS NOT ENOUGH?!
Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide.
That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed.
End all arms sales to Israel now.
