Today it has been reported that during our first round of action in England mortality rate was 11.1% above the 5 year average.

What they haven’t reported was that in Wales, where no strike action took place, mortality rate was 14% above the 5 year average. 1/3

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

Tomorrow junior doctors across England will start round two of our strike action to restore our pay. Don't go to work, don't cross a picket line. Stick together, fight together, win together. See you on the picket lines! #JuniorDoctorsStrike #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctors

Failed MRCP Part 1 by one mark - any helpful tips on how to plan the retake or advice from anyone who has had to retake this exam!? #MedTwitter #MedEd

[Dr Leyla Turkoglu @LeylsTurk]

Anaesthetic recruitment is broken.
Some of the best doctors I have met can’t get jobs and yet the country is in dire need of anaesthetists to help clear the surgical backlog.
More numbers are desperately needed. So much training and expertise is being squandered.

THE SUSPICION I FEEL WHEN PATIENTS SAY THEY’RE TOTALLY WELL - everyone is now unhealthy until proven a marathon runner 🥲

[Katie Brill @brillfish]

Fit and well you say? No past medical history you say?

Then what’s the bag of drugs for? Is that an insulin pump? Is that a prosthetic limb? IS THAT AN LVAD?

[Ed Turnham @EdTurnham]

I’m aware of 4 high-profile interventions by doctors in the last week blaming NHS staff for the woes of the NHS. Two were private GPs, one a private cardiologist, and one an ophthalmologist who died in 2016.

There appear to be no living NHS doctors who believe this rubbish 👍

🥺🥺 these little moments make me really proud to be in healthcare

[John Martindale @EM_Martindale]

Night Nurse made this and gave it to an upset dementia patient. Instant solution. Patient smiled and proudly showed me “my bear”, now hugging it and sleeping soundly.

@sajidjavid Thank you for saying so.

I is unbelievable that in 2021 it is considered controversial that only women have a cervix

[Young Liberals 🔶 @YoungLiberalsUK]

@sajidjavid From the NHS website. All trans people deserve access to appropriate healthcare, without the literal health secretary seeming to deny them this on Twitter. Shame on you.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

@sajidjavid Are YOU aware of how to run the NHS??

Trans MEN with a cervix are included in cervical screening. That is a scientific fact.

[Shanze A @ashai_s]

Have just started doing this and am very pleased to confirm it works. We should do a paper on this 🤪

[Ben Beska @Beska]

So I used high-dose aspirin for the first time to arrest my usual pre-nights migraine instead of just getting on with it and wow, it turns out taking medicine for illness works

[Simon Fleming 🛠 @OrthopodReg]

This is toxic from beginning to end

A total lack of respect, autonomy and basic understanding of how to work with or lead people

This email and those that can’t see why this is infantilising psychologically harmful garbage can all get in the sea

I wish they’d stop giving me such excellent FY1s. Being paired with a house officer who doesn’t know what ECG stands for would do wonders for my imposter syndrome.

[alan @arcl]

in the spirit of toxic work environments:
what's the best/worst insult you've received at work?

being called a "waste of a training number" by someone more junior than me is my current top hit

[alan @arcl]

"hello it's the on call doctor"
"hi doctor, there's a pigeon on the ward"
"...it's the on call doctor?"
"i know doctor. there's a pigeon on the ward."
"...."
"...."
"...is the pigeon medically unwell?"

20 years of fighting, troop surges, countless lives lost, and we're back to an even worse position than Afghanistan was in in 2001.

Good grief.

[Dr Leyla Turkoglu @LeylsTurk]

Sending good wishes and thoughts to colleagues in Plymouth tonight.

Especially those in ED, Theatres and ICU. I hope you get some rest after your shift.
