@BMAScotland how does the new junior doctor pay deal affect those on maternity (or other) leave during the backdated time period? Or is this just another way we will be disadvantaged? @PregnantScrewed

@scotgasdoc My mum misread the article and told me that the Huntman spider can grow up to 28inches. That’s as long as my baby.

There is an excruciating irony in becoming a parent as an anaesthetist… I have lost the ability to induce, control or maintain sleep.

Meanwhile… I slept on a mat the floor with hyperemesis gravidum and a clinical waste bin beside me. Good times.

@British_Airways Thanks. But still not confirmed that flight is going ahead? Or that we won’t be charged a fortune for not checking-in online?

[Alice Graham @AGraham1208]

Meant to be flying to Palma from @EDI_Airport tomorrow (BA4509) but unable to check in online. BA flight booked through TUI. Has it been cancelled without any email/notification @TUIUK @British_Airways ???

It was March 18th, 1944, and Finnish soldier Aimo Koivunen accidentally overdosed on meth.

But it was that meth, plus some pine cones and a pair of skis, that helped him survive WWII in Siberia in the most improbable way.

Get a bag of popcorn out for Aimo's INSANE story👇:

@scotgasdoc I started to write a list and then realised it was all VERY reasonable things that should probably be the basic level of facilities 😖😫😔 (e.g. safe/reliable routes to work, decent oncall rooms, 24hr hot food)

[Alice Graham @AGraham1208]

@drpsquared Night shift update - It’s still there.

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

Another day another reminder of inequality in medicine

Specialty exams?

Great - just don’t be a married woman with children

Oops 🥺

I was yesterday-years-old when I learnt the phrase is “for all intents and purposes” and not “intensive purposes”

@drpsquared He is 85% floof

@LoisyLou90 I managed about 20mins and gave up 😖

@scotgasdoc If you freeze the carrots they last much longer and it’s lovely and soothing on teething gums 🥰
