Emergency Medicine, Medical Education. Don’t expect anything intellectual from me. Now retired; still not intellectual.

@serchbloc @DuxVul @louderry And next to HMP Risley

@jamesroberts78 @estherckrakue That’s in Salford not Manchester

@jemmm85517813 @Kerrineedshols I worked as an ED doctor from 1992 to 2025. Kerri is absolutely correct. And there were beds available for admissions.

@nevie03 @doctor_oxford Infection control would do their nut. We’ve not even been allowed white coats for more than 25 yrs.

[rachel wallis @drracwal]

@PattontheDog1 @doctor_oxford Fortunately there aren’t any in the NHS

@DoctoreMind @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives They didn’t. Hippocratic oath hasn’t been used in the UK for many years. Some medical schools use various declarations but there’s no standard on all doctors commit to.
And they didn’t.

@heal_soul49465 @Dearme2_ Depends on the workplace. In 35 years as an emergency medicine doctor, there are things that my coworkers have experienced with me that I will never share with anyone else. That brings a closeness that an office never will. They are not only my friends, they are family.

@TJCoats Enjoy your well-earned retirement! I took early retirement from EM at the end of October and I’m loving it, took some time to decompress and adjust though. I had a great career and wouldn’t have done anything else but it was time. Thanks for all you did for EM !

@cbehaviourist @iDrSunny And is on the specialist register

@SaleSharksRugby Can’t wait!

@DowneyJude2757 @angryhacademic The correct phrase is “kindly see and do the needful”

@TributeToRock @ajsrugby @SaleSharksRugby Genge was much more focussed on winning penalties than a fair competition

@knypevale @Lexxity We’re going too, looking forward to a great weekend.
Getting destroyed by Munster didn’t spoil our trip to Limerick 10 yrs ago, although a bit of decent rugby would be a bonus!

[rachel wallis @drracwal]

@Mercantile31095 @miriam_khalil13 I think you’ll find they’re AMAZING doctors!

[rachel wallis @drracwal]

@EmergencyWhh @LivUni @LivUniMedicine @NWSASDocs @WHHNHS Thank you! Still can’t quite believe I actually did it. Tuesday evening is going to feel really weird.

@fourhourtarget @ThrillaRilla369 Another early 90s junior doctor here. 1:3 with prospective cover so an average of 91 hrs per week but when a colleague was off the other two of us on the rotation covered half of their hours too. Max 126 as above. Brutal.

@parthaskar @RupertLowe10 And when the great British public go on their holidays should they be denied medical care because they don’t speak Spanish/Turkish/Vietnamese? Or does this only work one way?

[rachel wallis @drracwal]

@earthcurated Get my wellies on and head outside

[rachel wallis @drracwal]

@Microbedoc2 @DrDavidRouse We get £500. It’s determined at trust level

[rachel wallis @drracwal]

@IsabeauMacG @helenvecht @jaydbint This is the gold standard. Once patients have been seen by a GP they should not join the vast undifferentiated queue in ED but should have appropriate pathways in place to avoid this, should it be to A&G/speciality assessment areas or direct to scan. Unfortunately not everywhere
