@Kab_princess Happy to help, final year grad med in Southampton ☺️

@BellaRoscetti @noodles_nood Legit, classic medicine bs. How about commission from the book sales, not some joke WordArt certificate!

@DrSelvarajah Tamil mums are built differently #matriarchy

@hayleymagill Yes! Also worth checking out free communication tool @cardmedic created by an NHS anaesthetist, Dr Rachael Grimaldi, it’s super helpful!

@DrMaxxC @feleciadsouza @BellaRoscetti Also we need to pass our placements, so we try our hardest not to annoy the person that has the pen in their hand to sign our placement form. It’s sad, don’t stick your head above the parapet and pray you’ll get through. Power dynamics much bigger than us at play!

[Shiron 💙 @ShironR_Health]

@DrMaxxC @feleciadsouza @BellaRoscetti Thanks Dr C for your words. It’s almost impossible to raise anything with clinical supervisors. When my friends have raised similar concerns, they got accused of being lazy and not “actively seeking out opportunities”.

@feleciadsouza @BellaRoscetti @PassmedicineUK @quesmedicine Reflecting on placements, best specialities have been those where doctors have had time to teach and impart their enthusiasm for their speciality. Urology, ophthalmology and anaesthetics are top tier in my eyes (if you pardon the pun)

[Shiron 💙 @ShironR_Health]

@feleciadsouza @BellaRoscetti Shambles 😩. It’s 2022, firstly for general knowledge assimilation and exams-passing purposes, I think our tuition fees should cover @PassmedicineUK and @quesmedicine subs? On placements, have met so many junior doctors who are keen to teach but they (almost) never have time 😩

[Shiron 💙 @ShironR_Health]

@feleciadsouza @BellaRoscetti @PassmedicineUK @quesmedicine I don’t think any of us expect a lot, even an hour or so over a week is WAY more worthwhile than nothing. Let’s face it, more worthwhile than being dragging along on a never-ending ward round where you’re being completely ignored/an inconvenience/professional drawer of curtains.

@BellaRoscetti This!

@GhalibMK Looks like they can fit some more text in the margins 😂

@rogerkline Another day, another review. Let’s see if anything actually changes, sigh.

Retention of doctors starts with us, medical students. It starts with a #LiveableNHSBursary.

@EISSEM Otterbox/budget versions of Otterbox on Amazon

@RoshanaMN Completely agree with your points Roshana - achievements should be contextualised and considered with regards to an individual’s circumstances. Those who are quick to judge should maybe scratch a bit deeper and realise their own privileges.

[Shiron 💙 @ShironR_Health]

@AmaraSophia Is anyone actually surprised?

[Shiron 💙 @ShironR_Health]

@dr_emmacoombe @steveconnor60 @cheshireboy So true, “job satisfaction” doesn’t pay the bills, just about covers the Costa to survive. The system runs on the good will of hard working, caring people!

@Noahhhh93 Have you seen this? BMA Charities have some grants for second degree medical students. Worth checking out although quite strict eligibility criteria. https://t.co/eECzCiDfb5 You got this, feel free to DM if ever want to chat! 💪🏾

[Shiron 💙 @ShironR_Health]

@Noahhhh93 Hey Noah, completely appreciate how you feel. Having to worry about money constantly is exhausting and no way to live. Hate wishing away time but need to finish med school ASAP so I can start earning. People tell you to suck it up, it’s not that easy.
