It was a very tough challenge. We faced it with excitement and belief. We never gave up and kept believing until the very end. We came very close, but it wasn’t meant to be. We will be back.

Dr. Vinay Kumar will be turning 81 in a couple of days, and it was wonderful speaking with him yesterday.
Hard for me to put into words how much I owe to his generous mentorship and guidance.

The scourge of gun violence and political violence must end.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk is the latest incident of this chaos and it must stop. We cannot go down this road.

There is no place for it in America and we wish for his recovery.

[Ben & Candy Carson @RealBenCarson]

Rest in peace, Charlie. It was a privilege to call you a friend and to witness your unwavering faith and love for our country. As Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’ (John 11:25) Your steadfast faith and patriotism will inspire Americans for generations to come. Candy and I send our heartfelt love and prayers to Erika and the children.

Updating your 2023 analysis with 2025 data: Full pay restoration (21% real-terms erosion) for ~75k resident doctors (avg £54k salary) costs ~£850m net after ~£340m tax clawback.

Benefits: Retention savings £480-720m/yr (from £2.4bn current attrition); litigation reductions ~£280m (10% of £2.8bn total); plus productivity gains, fewer strikes.

Net positive: £210-650m annual savings. Sources: BMA, Nuffield Trust, NHS Resolution.

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

Solidarity with the BMA.

The last thing they're doing is "undermining the Trade Union movement".

They're resisting a race to the bottom.

“Boss says employees shouldn’t strike” - every trade dispute ever.

Another fantastic bit of journalism from the BBC

At the end of the day, late President Muhammadu Buhari will be largely remembered as that one Nigerian President who had every single ingredient to succeed in office — especially unprecedented public goodwill — but ultimately flattered to deceive, and eventually failed.

A president, for example, who hiked the pump price of petrol and the people gladly opted to endure rather than protest.

Such a shame how poverty, unemployment, inflation, insecurity and press freedom worsened under his watch, leading to the decimation of trust among even many of his own cult followers and the eventual shattering of what would have been an inerasable legacy.

A promise unfulfilled!

[Dr Phil Hammond 💙 @drphilhammond]

The bottom line with all NHS staff, not just doctors, is that unless you make the NHS a decent place to work, with a decent enough salary to be able to pay off your debts and afford to buy a house near where you work, or at least know where you’re going to be working in the next six months, then people will either leave the NHS or pursue a portfolio career. I combined medicine, journalism, broadcasting, teaching and comedy for 35 years. I think I paid back the debt for my training, but I never felt obliged to work full-time in the NHS.
Resident doctors have every reason to be angry, with the growth of non-doctors taking over their work, with a significant risk to patient safety, and the lack of specialty training places for them to pursue in the NHS. And there are many newly qualified GPs who can’t get work. This is all far more complicated than just restoring pay. And medical leaders are as much to blame as successive governments. The medical professional also has to sort its own shit out.

[Dr Sandeep Bansal @iDrSunny]

Doctors: Can you fix 15 years of pay erosion so we can keep treating patients?

Wes: No. But I’ll improve your “working conditions.”

You mean the hospitals where:
– There are no desks or rest spaces
– Staff rooms are storage closets
– No training jobs after years of exams
– PAs replace doctors on rotas
– You’re treated like you’re disposable

While patients can’t even see a doctor.

These aren’t perks.
They’re the bare minimum in a developed nation.

But interesting Wes thinks these basics should be negotiated on

Wes you are a key part of the problem

Imagine if a private employer did this shit

[Dr Matt Kneale (🦋drmk.link) @drmattuk]

It’s one thing to disagree with strike action; another entirely to publicly denounce a fight for fair pay.

You trained with free tuition, lived in hospital accommodation and had far better pay. Have you forgotten what it means to be stretched?

When Saint Ignatius arrived in Rome, the Colosseum was full.

The gates opened. The lions were released.
The old bishop stood firm.

Torn apart limb by limb, he died in front of thousands, offering his life as a final show of faith in Christ.

This is his story - a 🧵✝️

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Junior doctors salary range £32,000–£63,000

Physician Associate salary range £43,742–£50,056

Why are PAs earning more than doctors?

This is also a reason why BMA doctors have voted to strike

Shame on Labour for paying assistants more than doctors

The word ‘stan’ comes from the Eminem song "Stan" which is about one of his obsessed fans.

What if Eminem named the fan ‘Dennis’? 

We could be saying, “I dennis Beyonce.”
