[WenYanLow @WenYanLow]

@darien_liew When you show up, the patient is asleep.

@Trudykeogh01 @philipnolan1 They do! In plastic or wrapped in paper. Use straight from the freezer.

@renming95 Future redundancy is a poor argument. Public transport and infrastructure needs to be developed. If you build it, they will come.

@darien_liew That's me talking to Arisha everytime 😂

Ireland is as wealthy as Australia and Canada (to pick two popular destinations for Irish HCWs). There is no reason the Irish health service can’t be an attractive place to work.

Rishi Sunak: "Have they looked after you?"

Patient: "They always do, but it's a pity you don't pay them more."

RS: "Well, we're trying."

Pt: "No, you're not trying! You need to try harder."

She's the hero we needed. 👏

Life comes at you real fast

Four senior doctors in their forties who haven’t spent a full weekend with their children in the last year are begrudged that their employer has to pay eighty hours overtime a week that they don’t want to do. Sunday independent publishes HSE spin. https://t.co/es0vdNBM8r

I was the intern-on-call on 5 nights looking after the sickest of COVID on NIV. Countless procedures in full PPE, and I certified many deaths. No opportunity for breaks. Half my wards have COVID. Why do interns not qualify for the pandemic bonus? #StandUp4NCHDs @DonnellyStephen

[Clara Forrest @ClaraForrest3]

Current intern doctors who have worked in hospitals, on COVID-19 wards, while case numbers were highest & pressures on the healthcare system were immense have been excluded from the Pandemic Special Recognition Payment. We started on 28/06/21. #StandingUp4NCHDs @DonnellyStephen

These are what some notable politicians have to say about NCHD's poor working conditions since 2003. Four are key decision makers in the current government. The issues are not inherited from previous administrations. #StandingUp4NCHDs

[Domhnall McGlacken-Byrne @McGlackenByrne]

"Many hospitals are heavily dependent on NCHDs who work for lengthy periods without rest. This is not satisfactory either for patients or doctors. EWTD will bring important changes to working patterns of NCHDs from August 2004"

@AssocEmergMedIE @HSELive @rtenews @Independent_ie @irishexaminer @IrishTimes If it takes up to 24 hours for the emergency department to be able to see a patient who presented there as they felt their condition was such that nowhere else in the current system could help them.

[Irish Medical Organisation @IMO_IRL]

"We will be recommending to our members that if we do not get serious engagement there may be no alternative but to consider industrial action. Allowing the current situation to persist is just not acceptable. It is bad for doctors and bad for patients.” https://t.co/4q3URJW897

[WenYanLow @WenYanLow]

We are asking for change to issues that have existed for decades. The issues are well understood and solutions are clear. The system needs a change, not just the figureheads. #StandingUp4NCHDs
