@snufflewort@Dave_Eby Oh my friend, this is awful. Is there any way your oncology team could push for an earlier neurology appointment? Sending good vibes for you 🙏
@RHughesPhD76721 Wonderful news - that you are in the hotel, and Joan getting a place to live and work. You are a wonderful kind friend. Please remember to give yourself grace, you're doing so much, but you also need to look after yourself. Remember to save some energy for Ryan Gosling 😉😊
When things go wrong in the NHS (as they do each year and get progressively worse):
Department of Health - ‘it’s the greedy doctors. GPs not doing enough. Resident doctors trying to hold the public to ransom with strikes’
NHS E - ‘we need more money, our hands are tied and we need to restructure. This time we’re going to move this chair on the titanic…’ (under their breath - we seem to be running out of chairs to rearrange - so we’ll just merge with DoH next year and get rid of the illusion that we’re arms length)
RCEM - ‘we need more beds, that’s the only thing stopping our hardworking practitioners in ED’
RCGP - ‘there’s enough work to go around, let’s pump in more non doctor roles, that’ll solve the problem’
RCP - ‘the NHS is burning down? Sorry we’ve just been focused on our membership growth with PAs and international members, give us a little more time to come back to you on the workforce plan’
GMC - ‘20k doctors left the NHS last year? Don’t worry we’ve got 50k IMGs doing PLAB, you’ll be able to hire more with substandard contracts in LED roles and force the pay down as we know we’re getting rid of these pesky doctors and replacing them with ACPs and PAs - but we’ll place them on the GMC register to make sure we still get our cut’
Patient safety group - ‘don’t worry nothing to see here, everyone is working hard to deliver safe care, we only advocate for stuff that comes out as a scandal 20 years later, till then we need funding from DoH’
CQC - ‘don’t look at us, we hire toxic Ex NHS execs intentionally so they can help other organisations bury the bodies properly’
Press and Media - ‘I mean we’re owned by billionaires, we need to have a good relationship with DoH and they feed us awesome stories- mainly about doctor failures to help sell our papers’
@RHughesPhD76721 Thank you so much Robert, this is the best news to wake up to, you are so wonderfully kind. Thank you too, to the Pastor and the students who helped make this happen. Hello Joan, I am so happy for you!!
