Heartbreaking to read.

This is NOT your fault.

And the response comments show how truly valued our amazing members & their EM colleagues are - doing extraordinary work in the most challenging situations to ensure patients get the best care possible

As an Emergency Medicine consultant in the NHS, I just want to say, to all of our patients across the UK:

I'm sorry.

We're really trying, I promise.

There's just too much to do.

And there are not enough resources in the hospitals or in our communities to satisfy demand.

Can’t wait to take part in the @archiegrampian Battle of the Badges today for @NHSGrampian. Been given the iconic No10 shirt… But who is the most famous 10 of all time?

Just Giving Page still open for any last minute donations (link in comments), thank you! @NHSG_RACH

Need some clarity after a case last night in the Paeds ED #toothfairy. If a tooth is lost in an accident, will you still leave a reward in place of the ‘absent’ tooth? And what is the going rate these days? @aberdeenED @NHSG_RACH

@adi_kumar1 You’d just about go apoplectic if you saw what happens in an Emergency Department 24/7!! Constant interruptions and prioritisation - oh and trying to refer to surgery who are scrubbed and can’t take the call!

@lmykane Used to cycle from old house in Newbigging and have coffee on the balcony! Great spot…

Anyone out there want to join the team? Great opportunity for ACCS accredited post for 6 months in a great location and a vast array of potential within the role…

First Children’s ED shift of December, can only mean one thing - time to bring out the Christmas Socks! Now which pair to choose? @aberdeenED @NHSG_RACH @NHSGrampian

[Gareth Patton @DocStumpy]

@RoryTHirst Or just refer direct to definite service and miss out ambulance and ED - trust your judgement and make the call.

@delboy200963 You don’t look old enough to have a daughter that age… (For Sandra, not you Deek!)
