@BelindaJOConnor Sending you hugs . It’s the worst being a abused in the work place where you job is to care for others and manage life and death situations. I have found this makes me extra emotionally vulnerable to this abuse
@Lady_Gwendoline@Mark_Butler_MP Fragmentation of care is one the hardest parts of general practice; the patient who makes a 15 min appnt , recently discharged from ED with a complex problem and no discharge summary . Ahhhhgghhh
@hughriminton Requiring new referrals for the same condition should not be required . For new conditions GPs have a very important role to assess and triage the sitatuion . Waiting times for specialists are LONG. If a condition is urgent a GP can write this on the referral
@DichieraDomenic @hughriminton This is not true. You won’t see a specialist earlier without a referral. Also many specialists are booked out for months and rely on information from the GP to triage the urgency of the situation. We might be called the “ gate keepers” , but we are also the triage system
@MattyDudding This is how I thought about it. Finally considering it partly as a gothic ghost story , embracing the supernatural and unconscious, I feel like I am beginning to get it
@slamup @MelCityofLit I am so sorry this happened to your darling child. Thank you for writing about this so we know and can remain vigilant against racism
@clarecorbould Clare , definitely not older fiction , in fact this is new essays/memoir, and this could be considered a “wildly positive review” , but please read The Crane Wife by CJ Hauser. Superb
