“Who is heard & who is not heard maintains the status quo”

Our system protects powerful men, with powerful friends

Over. And over. Again.

It ignores, silences and undermines the humans who stand up to report them

How to research:

1) Start reading paper
2) Open up new tab for each interesting reference
3) Save all new papers in "to be read" folder
4) Never close tabs
5) Never read papers

Jess Phillips talking about two women who have been raped by Members of Parliament and the new rule she has proposed, passed last night.

BUT what the hell....there are only 650 MPs and 10% are under investigation for rape or sexual misconduct.

@morefluids As a CT1, I worked with a consultant who always verbalised her thinking about how to plan for a case. Including at times where she felt equivocal or unsure.
I found it incredibly helpful for my learning and really admired her vulnerability for doing it.

My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales as she is treated for cancer, but also with the more than 1000 other people who were also diagnosed with cancer across the UK today. Cancer doesn't care who you are or how much you'll be missed and it leaves devastation in its wake.

SEVEN! Happy birthday Juno.
I try not to think of everything you miss out on… I try to focus on what you inspire. Such love in so many hearts. Research in an unresearched area. A story for so many to learn from. You are a light as bright as seven years ago; you are so loved.

My perspective on AAs; a 🧵

I was an ANP before medical school and am now a specialty doctor in anaesthetics.

I work with 2 qualified AAs who are excellent,

I am often asked for my opinion given my background, so here it is a long thread including my own story.
