Maybe all ED staff ought to spend a bit of time in 'civilian' clothes sitting in the ED waiting room. It is miserable being an ED patient at the moment - but there are some low cost things that could be provided that would make it more bearable - free tea?

@KatyHow97717841 @Piprich1 @weez555 @hayleypeters @SomersetSafety What a fantastic, engaged group of clinicians . Was such a pleasure to work with you all. Good luck with the roll out

In case you missed it ...
Back at the start of Brexit, renowned economist @AdamPosen set out a very fair and balanced assessment of how Brexit would negatively affect our economy. Looking back at it, every word of what he said came true.

@JStjarnljus @moribunddr The tribal tone you use is really concerning. So many patient safety issues have been caused by this rhetoric

[Matthew Thomas @Matthewa1975]

@moribunddr ‘ I seem to done something that you don’t approve of… could you let me know what that is specifically and I will try my best to improve’. It’s really not about you. And refer them to the website ‘civility saves lives’. Their behaviour is dangerous. Good luck

We spent the day with Kharkiv's incredibly courageous first responders and saw a Russian "double tap" in real time. Watch how they maintain their focus and calm as rockets slam into the building. With incredible team @BrentSwailsCNN @scottycnn @maria_avdv Richie Deakins

[Matthew Thomas @Matthewa1975]

@STN_KellyP Three is plenty of evidence that incivility towards one’s colleagues has a negative impact on patient safety. We talk about informed choices in medicine. It’s time clinicians are fully informed about the implications of their actions.

As well as teaching junior staff members to speak up seniors should be taught to listen down. Among other more obvious biases the toxic hierarchy was a contributory factor in the death of George Floyd https://t.co/mIpijHLFRw

@iamalisonperry The soup, of course, in the thinnest of plastic cups that would a) burn your fingers b) squish if you held it too firmly sending piping hot soup everywhere.

@Channel4News @alexdowsett I felt the same before my 1st child was born. This is a great antidote. Loved watching yesterday btw

@ralanshirley @allisonpearson She blocked me early on in Covid for (politely) contradicting some nonsense she was churning out.

[Matthew Thomas @Matthewa1975]

@ninnyd101 @piersmorgan Covid deaths are high despite unprecedented measures to halt the spread of disease, meaning any comparisons are flawed.

[Matthew Thomas @Matthewa1975]

@piersmorgan What I can’t comprehend is that some elaborate hoax would involve the government and the medical profession to be in cahoots. I think messrs Hunt and Hancock have put that idea to bed.

@NeilEleazar @JeremyClarkson “Children nowadays have no respect for authority.... they show disrespect for elders....” Socrates 469 B.C. Isn’t this the same unsubstantiated argument used by the older generation about the next for quite some time now.

Surgical trainee's self assessment, versus what it should have been.

Female surgical trainee.

@corstejo I always tell myself only 10% of the cohort are actually listening to anything I’m saying. Not so scary then.
