First day of MED SCHOOL after burning 71% of my body 3 years ago. 28 surgeries and more to come, 20 days in a coma, 2 months in ICU, more than 7 months in the hospital, and 3 years of therapies.Happy to finally be here.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what the decision is you know why? BECAUSE ITS NOT YOUR FUCKING BODY.
NO ONE makes this decision lightly- but it is NOT YOURS TO MAKE.

Or that it's disproportionately men who are rapists. But I've seen 0 tweets about the need to talk to our young men about the importance of consent... it's always "don't raise your little girl to be a slut" never "don't raise a rapist"

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I've seen hundreds of tweets about telling women to stop having sex if they don't want to get pregnant but I've seen zero calls for men to become celibate. It will never cease to amaze me how little men are blamed for getting someone pregnant. This is about control and patriarchy

@MirandaLeiggi @wrtrgroupie I’m an indie author. My sales went up massively during the pandemic. There are lots of trad authors who have gone hybrid or full indie in my author groups. Indie is hard work. But at least you’ll be able to reach readers and earn money from your stories.

@suzynaylor19 @Katy_Gilmartin @caitlinmoran Perfect 😂😂😂

@Lamboozler @ollieburtonmed 💯 % 👏👏👏👏👏 Best thing I’ve read today. Ignorance is the default human condition. You are right. Our race just gets dumber.

[AD Starrling @ADStarrling]

@rabizidnyilma @ollieburtonmed Absolutely. The last junior doctors’ strike was a pathetic ☠️ show and I left the BMA as a result. If you want change, don’t be guilted into not striking. The trolls saying you are overpaid and underworked can go treat themselves when you do.

[Ollie Burton @ollieburtonmed]

Most of the comments, predictably, from people who
1) haven't read the article
2) do not realise that GPs aren't striking
3) think all doctors are GPs
4) don't like their particular GP
5) don't actually understand what GPs do

@ollieburtonmed @gareth_stothard @wajmughal @UnchainedScotty 4/ to better pay for our profession and skill sets. If juniors strike again, they better mean it this time or there will never be change. This whole thing is heading toward privatisation and the trolls in this thread won’t know what hit them when that happens.

[AD Starrling @ADStarrling]

@ollieburtonmed @gareth_stothard @wajmughal @UnchainedScotty 2/ better doctors, just makes the Deanery and Whitehall happy. All in the name of defensive medicine, obviously. I worked a shift the other day with half the medical staff we should have had. It was brutal. That is now the norm. When things go wrong, when patients die, we get

[AD Starrling @ADStarrling]

@ollieburtonmed @gareth_stothard @wajmughal @UnchainedScotty 3/ the blame. The people who claim doctors are lazy and overpaid are just trolls who have no clue. I wouldn’t bother engaging with them to be honest. I left the BMA after the last junior doctors’ strike because, quite frankly, it was a pathetic attempt to stand up for our rights

[AD Starrling @ADStarrling]

@falco2477 @SamPamby @UnchainedScotty I wouldn’t bother wasting your breath explaining what we do to these people. They are not worth an ounce of your energy. They are just trolls.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Being British is having to tell the doctor you’re “fine, thanks” before you can then go on to discuss your actual level of sickness.

We didn’t need £37bn for Test and Trace. Had the NHS ran it, it would have cost much less, saved more lives, and prevented more disability.

But hey, at least a few Tory donors got rich!
