Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

1) #TheNHSisBroken What drs are reduced to during current extreme hospital pressures. From an anon doctor, a 🧵:

This wkend I have done things I have never done in my working life, now expected, it’s breaking me! My standard of care is being dropped to accommodate this fiasco

Yesterday I worked a 12.5hr shift in ICU. Staff are no longer allowed to park on site so I had to go to the park and ride. I arrived at 9.30pm, I was alone, it was dark, there were groups of young men in their cars. I never want to be in that situation again 😢 @NHS_Lothian

@steve8412 @JanettedelvD Who do you think is seeing all the patients who have taken all the slots before you were able to get through on the phone?

[Kate Heels @heels_kate]

@sajidjavid And this would not have been possible were it not for the hard work of primary care staff and GPs. Yet they continue to be criticised and accused of not working throughout the pandemic. Shocking. Thankless job, no wonder they’ve all had enough.

[Kate Heels @heels_kate]

@DawnNeesom Who do you think has delivered 75% of the vaccine programme?? That would be primary care. As well as each GP speaking to 40-50 patients a day on the phone and then seeing around 8-10 face to face. Not to mention results, letters, referrals etc. You’re welcome to give it a go.

@JENBROOK8 @NONONOEU @KeithWatt12 @DawnNeesom That’s exactly what we are doing and have been doing throughout. Anyone who needs to be seen in person is offered a same day appointment following telephone triage.

With freedom comes responsibility. Too many people want neither.

@UsforThemUK I’ve been patient for 70 weeks. @BorisJohnson it’s time for action

[Kate Heels @heels_kate]

@dr_musgrave Also a GP and very pro-vax normally, but my kids won’t be having it. Paid for them to have chickenpox vaccine, which isn’t in NHS schedule because chickenpox not deemed dangerous enough to be cost effective to vaccinate, but probably kills more kids than covid!

[Kate Heels @heels_kate]

@DeeKay_mcmxcii @Pottsy002 @EssexPR @sajidjavid We could all be asymptomatic for all sorts of things but we’re not mass testing for anything else. So why covid? Where is the evidence that asymptomatic covid has high enough viral load to cause symptomatic infection in someone else? Genuinely interested to see this information.

[Kate Heels @heels_kate]

@Vicster82 Wonder if she has any children?? And how many times she’s had to self isolate? Probably not as many as our kids!

[UsForThemUK 🌟 @UsforThemUK]

✅We were patient when schools shut for 3 weeks to 'flatten the curve'.

➡️We were told schools wouldn't close again

‼️Now it's almost 70 WEEKS LATER and still no normality for children‼️

So no, now we're #NotFeelingPatient

❓How about you?

💫RT if you 👍
