'Doctors already earn more than the average UK wage.'

Repeat after me:
It is not an average job
It is not an average job
It is not an average job

Have people completely lost sight of what being a doctor actually involves?!

Doing an experiment.

Some 316 MPs claimed their utility bills on expenses last year, with some members claiming more than £3,000 to cover their utilities.

Please retweet this if you think MPs should pay for their own gas and electric.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 10 years, since 3 Nov 2012 (via @twi_age).

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

MP pay 2010 £65k

MP pay 2022 £84.1k

28% rise & real terms rise of over £4k

same period nurses pay down 8% against inflation with real terms pay cut of £3k

RT if you think MPs telling nurses they don’t deserve a rise are taking the piss

Yep - and an FY2 on my ward today said they are getting paid more than him per hour on some months despite having spent half a decade training in University 🥲

@Student_Saviour #studentsaviour I would use it to travel in the brief Summer I have before starting work as an FY1 and then using it to help me move across the country to begin a new chapter as a doctor ☺️

You go away from the UK for two months and Boris Johnson resigns. You love to see it

Help I’m addicted to watching restocking videos on tiktok

Stop gaslighting yourself into the narrative you’re lazy when you’re really burnt-out and exhausted AF from trying to survive these dark times.

[Jewel Kling MD MPH @DrJewelKling]

Apparently “Dr” and “woman” do not match on British airways. Looking forward to their reply.

It’s only a matter of time before the UK government starts trying to change the laws on abortion following the USA. But what can we actually DO?! If anyone knows please share with the rest of us, this is a scary time we live in 🥺

Meeting new people in Asia is so reassuring. Everyone is in their thirties and I can’t wait to be 30 still exploring the world. Doesn’t have to all be done in your 20s when you’re still figuring yourself out

I'm really in my “I'm too good for this shit” era

[Mila @Gamapentin]

Since doctors’ pay is being debated on here again, I’ve noticed that people who oppose a pay rise use one straw man argument: a doctors pay will eventually rise to a ceiling higher than most professions, so a pay rise is not warranted.
This is silly: a thread

Next up Rebecca Cooper from Sheffield Medical School presenting findings from the NESTOR study looking at the experiences of pregnant women living with HIV. The main concern for women was transmission to their baby #BHIVA2022

How I’m planning on affording everything I’ve planned this year is completely beyond me

[ead 🧚‍♀️ @sunflwrsunflwr]

how embarrassing is it when you go abroad and you’re sweating out of every crevice of your body while the locals are still in their winter coats

[Imran Mahmood @imranmahmood777]

Even if you have £460m you only have one stomach. You can only eat one meal at a time. You can only wear one suit. Drive one car. And live in one house at a time. So pay the tax. Let someone else eat a meal.

Etymology of the day: to ‘fathom’ originally meant to encircle someone or something with outstretched arms. The measurement that is a fathom began as the span of those stretching arms. Something unfathomable cannot be grasped.
