We may not agree on some things, but this is important.

We cannot allow racist bigotry to be normalised, or become acceptable, at any time.

Jeremy Kyle’s language today was disgraceful. Calling it out for what it is, is the right thing to do.

Honouring the life and legacy of James Fountain—a remarkable surgeon, colleague, husband, father, and friend. He touched countless lives and will be deeply missed.@BritOrthopaedic @BritishHip

I recently read that clinicians with the highest empathy levels & patient satisfaction scores are at a higher risk of burnout. They often feel immense pressure to provide care that is beyond their human limits (both physically and emotionally).

That hit hard.

@jasonryanmd Put a guy’s shoulder back in once after other people had had multiple attempts. Was much quicker than I expected (think we were just heavier than the others who tried). He sat bolt upright and shouted “WOW! That was better than sex!” in the middle of the emergency department.

A few weeks ago my wife went to the hospital for stomach pain.

They did a CT Scan of her abdomen and thankfully didn't find anything serious.

Today we got the bill in the mail: $9,117.42

Healthcare is broken.

I remember taking a referral from an ED SHO once and looked down to see he was wearing my missing crocs that I’d spent all morning looking for

£3.5m to advise an NHS Trust to cut doctors’ pay for extra hours?!

Ironically, that’s equivalent to more than 21,000 hours of EXTRA consultant activity?!

How many of their 160k waiting patients wouldn’t still be waiting if they’d spent our money actually clearing the backlog?🤔

I’m honestly a bit aghast at how rude that was from Ed Sheeran. Amorim should have told them all to get fucked

Death by a thousand cuts: a tale of how I got some noticeboards installed in a trainee room.

As wellbeing lead i thought it would be nice to hang some notice boards in our trainee room, for regular updates on wellbeing issues.

Seems simple no? Not for NHS front line staff. 1/

Spend three minutes watching this man talk in a humane, evidence-based way about penal policy. Then realise that he is now in charge of prisons. And then feel the waves of relief wash over you.

[Jon Lund @Schoolofsurg]

@wesstreeting you’re at my hospital today but I’m scoping. What I would ask to save surgical training:
1: a tariff attached a case where a trainee operates
2: money from deanery to trust hypothecated
3: training fee and exam 1st sit paid for

Shouldn’t let a few lies get in the way of a story though, hey Kelvin?

I should be on £95K a year!? Looks like I need to get on the blower to payroll!

Huge congratulations to Dr Watson!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

But allow me to use take this opportunity to highlight a rather useful, and often overlooked, clause in the consultant TCS.👇🏼

Essentially, if you train flexibly, for whatever reason, you start higher up the consultant pay spine. ✊🏼
