*fairly* accurate poll on Reddit.

Congrats @MedReddit, do we have an unofficial litmus test?

[r/DoctorsUK @MedReddit]

Votes are still coming in, but even overnight 448/521 doctors reject Wes' offer.

Can we put this silly idea to bed now and come up with a better one?

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

The BMA didn’t put our offer to their members and now we know why: they wouldn’t have backed their unnecessary and irresponsible strikes.

They should give their members a say, call off these strikes and stop risking the NHS’s recovery.

@wesstreeting 86% of these UK doctors (so far) reject your offer, with a bigger sample than the times' poll

@gorskon @guardian This is all well-known, written about by excellent people from @david_colquhoun to @DrJenGunter and @dr_andrealove - so why did the @guardian run such a piece without modicum of fact-checking? Certainly UK doctors on reddit pretty annoyed about it too..

🔔UPDATE: More worrying evidence emerging of unsafe use of Physician Associates by @UHP_NHS. Doctors at the trust have been instructed to create a "prescribing rota" to determine who will prescribe and request scans for PAs.

I'm sorry your grandmothers passed away, but can you still cover your shift.

NHS managers are beyond parody at this point.

@AliJaneMoore @wesstreeting its really sad. Could you please attribute the subreddit if you're going to share screenshots? Other journalists will selectively choose comments to paint it as a "dark corner of the internet" cc @ShaunLintern when its really just normal doctors like these

[r/DoctorsUK @MedReddit]

@medicalmodelbri The subreddit is an open forum we don't post on behalf of anyone. FWIW this kind of thing would be removed anyway as it's impossible to verify and would not meet our content standards.

[Callum Williams @cmwilliams99]

Very glad to hear @wesstreeting is sympathetic to our concerns about career progression

However; sympathy won’t resolve placeholders or bottlenecks - it meaningless to those facing unemployment.

What we need is action!

@Immigrantis @PalazzzoF @DrLukeCraddock @MiloKostusiak Fare thee well. We'd like to formally request an apology after your making threats that we would "deeply regret it?" (One of many insulting comments made) https://t.co/cKkK8Nclk1
