Privileged to begin 2023 at home. Giving thanks for all God’s blessings as we find moments such as these through the year ahead.

@virginmedia I have reached out on FB. This is the link to my neighbours’ post where several people have commented as well. Please do something to resolve this asap.

@virginmedia Virgin Media, I have to tether my mobile to my laptop to work for the past month. OX3 in Mar
Oxford have had intermittent connectivity. What compensation will you offer to those who have to foot the bill for your inability to provide the service we pay you?

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

@virginmedia This has happened off/on for 3 weeks

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

@virginmedia Fix time is tomorrow? How can we work with this?

Legally Homeopathy quacks are allowed to use the title of Dr. in India. Physiotherapists were recently allowed to use the title of Dr. in India.

If that is the case, petition to allow nurses to use the title Dr. because if you ask me, if there is a healthcare group that does closest to what clinical doctors do and even sometimes better than some clinical doctors, then it has to be nurses.

I learned a lot from nursing staff during my MBBS internship. MD in Internal Medicine training in acute wards and DM in Hepatology training in ICU postings. Why not give them the title?

They are much more deserving of the Dr. title than alternative medicine quacks.

Either this, or Indian healthcare hierarchy classification requires a big reset button.

Culturally, Witch Doctors are also Doctors. Just saying.

What a day! 2 days of assessments down, 7 more to go…

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

What a week! When everything can strive to work against you, reducing your confidence in yourself to nothing and your mind and body too weak to fight back. This too shall pass..

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

Capability without opportunity means very little. Without the ability to demonstrate capability or given the chance to develop it, we remain bound to those structures that enable unequal distribution of opportunity.

My daughter’s promise to me after being in her father’s care all day whilst I had a full day of meetings is that she would place my laptop along with flowers on my grave so I can continue with my meetings… message received and point taken. #parenting

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

When physical aggression is normalised in play, how do we help young girls to set and maintain boundaries as they grow up? Disheartened today at failed attempts at meaningful discussion. This is why we parent in isolation, unable to step beyond questions on PE kits or jam jars.

20 Indians, 1 Sri Lankan unable to disembark due to visa restrictions, phones confiscated and unable to pay bills at home. https://t.co/AuzdUJgZn2

@DrTABailey This is where I wish we had family living near us to help out. It can be quite lonely to try to manage career, bringing up your child and supporting your partner/spouse.

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

@virginmedia My issue here is a) the constant interruption to wifi that necessitated a call to virgin. B) the fact we have asked for this issue to be resolved several times before and c) the absolute rudeness of call centre staff dealing with us when we have been waiting for a long time

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

@virginmedia Wifi dropping has gotten worse over the last 2 weeks. We have to constantly refresh and turn wifi on/ off on our devices. We were advised by a customer service rep that we could get a new router but then told by call centre that we could not, can only get boosters.

[Ruth Samuel @RuthSamuel10]

@virginmedia It’s a Hub 3.0 with 268 Mb speed. Please see what can be done as the router is outdated.

[Neil DMonte @neildmonte827]

Virgin Media, train your call centre staff in India better, highly rude... cannot get a new hub despite having our current one for 10 years. Pants customer service #virginmediabroadband
