They don’t. Believe me. Why do you talk such utter shite? And why are you morphing into a sovereign individual
anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.

Thanks to Matron Jenny Cain for showing me around her wards this afternoon including our respiratory support unit. Great to meet so many dedicated staff who are clearly focussing on providing the best care 🙏

Instructor: okay Steve the patient’s not breathing what do you do

Steve: no he’s ok I think

Instructor: he’s in cardiac arrest

Steve: I’ve acknowledged that winter will be difficult and I’m aware of the challenges he’s facing but I’m confident he’s fine

Instructor: Steve pls

Bit annoying seeing my colleagues referred to by the press as ‘Ambulance Drivers’ when they are University graduated healthcare professionals. I think I’ll refer to journalists now as ‘shit scribblers’.

@sophiedwest @Kjbren1 Snap!! The same has happened over here in Medicine. I suspect @jenny_cain has something to do with it… #octogate 🤔🐙🐙

Staffing crisis: burnout, retention, hard to recruit - it’s all catch 22

Hang on - so we’ve taken back control of our borders cos we no longer want to be part of the EU, but Grant Shapps still expects the French to let us come and go as we please across their border. Have I got that right? As they say somewhere, quel culot ce mec

@ChrisGibbins82 It just needed a bit of hairdryer to the electrics, I’m sure it’s fine. Although not brave enough to plug it in to test it yet… 😬

I started out cleaning the kids’ humidifier, but things appear to have escalated…. 😬🤦🏻‍♂️ #waterandelectricitydontmix #imnoelectrician

It’s been an ‘Imperial Stout’ kinda week… 😩

[Ashley Price @davidashprice]

Early in the HIV pandemic immunodeficiency associated with it was called ‘Gay-related immune deficiency’ this caused massive damage to the response and resulted in appalling headlines and stigma. Lets learn from our mistakes #monkeypox #MonkeypoxVirus

Our General Secretary and Chief Executive @patcullen9 has written to @Mike_Fabricant over his comments today on nurses drinking in staff rooms during #COVID19.

Day 50 of my 3 day war. The Russian warship Moskva, that was told “go fuck yourself”, has gone & fucked itself and sunk.

I remain a master strategist.

In 2022 there’s hospital clinics where a letter is dictated, typed up by a secretary, printed, put in a envelope & sent to a GP practice, GP secretary opens letter, scans it, adds letter to a digital workflow & then shreds the letter, waste is collected.
