We're nervous enough when a mate asks us to hold their baby for a few seconds. Imagine trying to save its life.

Can't decide if I'm looking forward to watching #ConfessionsOfAJuniorDoctor or scared to see more about the reality of life in the #NHS

[Consultant2Doctor @consultant2dr]

1 in 3 junior doctors consider leaving the #NHS Wonder what will be left when I graduate in 4 years #NHSbreakingpoint #graduateentrymedicine https://t.co/hrP0dwh9tl

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

Unsurprising that 1 in 3 #juniordoctors have considered leaving #NHSbreakingpoint #ConfessionsOfAJuniorDoctor https://t.co/YnQ3iY2SSZ

[Consultant2Doctor @consultant2dr]

Catching up on #ConfessionsOfAJuniorDoctor. Certainly an eye opener into life in the #NHS and the pressure the system is under.
