@trussliz Is she talking to the cactus?

@drokane @brookmanknight Possibly the best articulation of the issue I have seen.

@junglemandan Why do so many poker players have so concept of counter-party risk?

[David Carruthers @carruthers]

@Hughwilliam8 @DrHWazir Increasingly they aren’t. If you aren’t prepared to act to help retain our doctors then please don’t complain when you are on a trolley for 12 hours before being seen because there aren’t enough doctors.

@RpsAgainstTrump Do Americans really say "flutist" rather than "flautist"? Genuine question.

@DrDiGiorgio @moltar81435 @doclauravater "But that isn’t always realistic" within the current system, no it's not. I strongly suspect @doclauravater was advocating for improving the system. The first step to improving the system is acknowledging its current defects.

@medic_southside @drmeenalviz You are in the minority then. Juniors rotate out in a few months but the matron will be there for years. Most consultants make the judgement that it will cause them less grief in the long run to turn a blind eye.

@DrHWazir SHO , resident on call over weekend. Had worked over 40 hours, no sleep, barely any time to eat or drink. Summer, hot. HDU nurse berated me for having a drink of water from "their" water cooler.

@t_blom If a medical AI makes a mistake and a patient comes to harm, who takes responsibility? Who gets sued?

@Microbedoc2 IV has +++ placebo effect. Patients get to impress their friends and family by how sick they were because they needed “IVs!!!!”.

[David Carruthers @carruthers]

@DrNeenaJha Quite agree. "Simple" and "complex" are retrospective judgements. It's never "It is simple", it can only ever be "it was simple".

@DrAnimeshSingh The fundamental problem is rotational training. It sets up perverse incentives that lead to preferment of PAs and is miserable for doctors. It needs to end.

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

@hlnewey How does this work? Are you randomly assigned a rank and the higher your rank the more likely you are to get your first pick foundation job?

[David Carruthers @carruthers]

@DrEilidhMaria From perspective of consultant PA are good as they only need to be trained once and don't move on. Incentive for consultant to train "junior" doctors is reduced to less training for "juniors". Long term whole system becomes deskilled as current cons retire.

4. Seniors with a ‘pull the ladder up’ attitude 🪜

Often, a lot of the medical professionals in power are those who graduated many decades ago and are incredibly out of touch with reality. They care about lining their pockets more than caring for the juniors who prop up the system. This is another frustration for juniors who feel as though these seniors push forward agendas (such as SCPs in surgery, as a recent example) that do not benefit the junior medical or surgical workforce in the slightest.

@Geiger_Capital So why doesn't he pay a dividend?
