@jabberwock951 Recently had a 16 year old in an adult clinic, referred to paeds when 15 and referral rejected because “they’ll be 16 by the time we see them”

@amateuradam Do NHS waiting lists, food bank use, interest rates. Labour may have left debt but had the public services to show for
It. Now we have terrible public services which can’t be stripped any further.

@reo_alvarez @FiFiELewis Put an auto reply on saying you aren’t taking up your post. It will settle your guilt while saving you from having to do anything about any emails!

@MedRegoncall1 Most disappointing thing was the consultant and the reg told them they’d not help because they’d not be able to do it any better. Also consultant shrugged shoulders when I raised about not doing it lying on a trolley and doing it in a wheelchair. They are being enabled.

@drandrewmackay Hospital managers asking for daily patient reviews in the afternoon fail to understand that creating a new plan at 4pm means an entire extra overnight stay vs creating it at 10am and actioning it during the day and discharging

[Iain Macpherson @imacpherson90]

@drandrewmackay Hope supervisor responded directly. It’s definitely important to prep discharges, it’s more important to be on the ward round to find out what’s actually wrong with them and it’s most important that if there were issues or concerns to raise at the time.

@Roddy_Neilson @NHSForthValley I hear intimidation of doctors in training by consultant haematologists is at record lows in the last few months.

@DrJlo29 had to do loads of these as resp FY1 for home oxygen assessment. Seems like a reasonable plan that someone being assessed for home oxygen is DNAR WLC

@doctor_dru_ I don’t think agenda for change staff get days in lieu in return though. So they get paid more than usual for working a bank holiday whereas doctors don’t; but doctors get paid as usual plus get a day off later.

@harryoreilly @XelenX1 @OliviaMarieW7 But why would you ever work the same hours as a PA? That’s the point. That’s why we became doctors. Yeah the pay comparison is poor but it’s hyperbole which weakens other arguments.

[Iain Macpherson @imacpherson90]

@XelenX1 @harryoreilly @OliviaMarieW7 Under 40 hours a week is unbanded. More than 40 is 1c regardless of amount of antisocial.

[Iain Macpherson @imacpherson90]

@harryoreilly @OliviaMarieW7 Not what it compares though. Compares actual wage plus benefit of “progression”. Majorly misleading to suggest FY1s earns 29k a year (basically a lie) and makes strike arguments suffer.

@maycock87 @ClydeSSB They’ve called politicians anti semitic for less

[Iain Macpherson @imacpherson90]

@ClydeSSB Rules were definitely “football nationality” and Israel is definitely in UEFA!
