I used to have this mental illness where l thought logical arguments would change someone's mind

[Maxi @AllForProgress_]

Junior doctors in this country are paid less per hour than the people who deliver their shopping.

This is not a metaphor and it's not hyperbole; it's the actual hourly rate after a five-year degree, mounting debt, and the kind of training the rest of the world still sends its students here to receive.

They are striking this week and the government's response has been to threaten to cut a thousand training places if they don't fold inside forty-eight hours.

Think about what kind of person becomes a doctor in Britain in 2026. They know the pay. They know the hours. They know the system is short-staffed in ways that will haunt their entire careers. They do it anyway, because they are (like people going in teaching in 2026) the most precious and sainted kinds of lunatics, and because something in them still believes the work matters.

That instinct is one of the most precious minearls this country owns. Naturally, government's instinct, as is its instinct whenever it encounters value, is to systematically beat and starve it to death.

When the last of those people give up and go to Sydney or Toronto or just leave medicine altogether, the loss will not be visible for years. It will become evident later, in waiting lists nobody can clear, in cancers caught too late, in the slow disappearance of the assumption that if something terrible happens to your child there will be someone competent and present to help.

You cannot rely on that saving grace any longer.

We are eating the seed corn of British medicine, and the bill will be paid by people who don't even know yet that they are going to need it.

I was waiting outside school to pick up my daughter when one of the other parents came over and asked me what year my daughter was in? I said 2026, duh...

These are the sort of messages people receive after the pile-ons you initiate on them. Are you proud of yourself?

What doesn’t kill you gives you cortisol spike, weight gain and hair loss.

Did you know?

For LOCAL graduates in the UK

Your career progression- whether it's passing ARCP; getting speciality posts or getting Consultant posts?

Is related to the colour of your skin

As per data from @gmcuk

Why do you think that's the case?

Genuine question.

@DrHWazir @DocsTogether_ Used to like you but you’ve gone rotten with selfishness and a complete disregard for others not like you

[Shepard @Shepardn7n]

To every IMG, @TheBMA will use u again and then blame the gov for pushing a policy they recommend. Pls grow a spine, cross the picket line and dont ruin ur relationship with the trust that gave u a job. @BMAResidents @bmj_latest @The_truthhh10 @DrMohitBhagia

If medical school has taught me one thing, it’s that any surface can become a bed if you’re desperate enough.

[The Enlightenment @TheEnlight55824]

IMGs, it’s time to stand up against every injustice that has happened with you. For every life disrupted, for every career jeopardised, for every disrespect you faced from your UK colleagues.

The strike starts in the next 48 hours. Go to work, fail the strikes.

Dermatologists be like: “palpable pruritic purpuric patches of papules and pustules parading partially past the platysmal plane alongside prominent plaques of pedal petechiae”

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.

[jynx @miiagarro]

my greatest adult disappointment was discovering that bad people get away with everything

[The Enlightenment @TheEnlight55824]

With every passing day, the UKGs running the BMA seem to stress upon the fact that they think the IMGs can’t think for themselves. That they’ll even believe if told that the sun rises from the west.

IMGs- do not strike.
