It's wild that paramedics, nurses, and physios have been openly bragging for years about replacing Doctors
Then when it's called out they play the victim card
The real victims are the patients
@Cartermill65675@Dr_Done_ >no evidence base for a lot of what they do
>immediately fucked off during Covid to hide in offices
>therapy Alpaka can come to ITU but fuck me for wearing a watch you can clinell wipe
They do fuck all apart from steal a wage. Back under the bridge for you troll
@RCollEM Outing myself here, but I am a member. I am embarrassed, ashamed of my college and outraged at the complete lack of backbone shown by RCEM. Disgraceful behaviour
@KlausRB @uk8qnzl @KashCheema26 Where on earth are you pulling that from? We don’t get bank holiday pay, there isn’t a weekend salary allowance. It’s basic rate, plus banding for unsocial hours 🙄
@NurseStandard RCN missing the point as per. This isn’t Drs vs Nurses. Classic divide and conquer tactics from the government. Nurses should absolutely be getting a more robust pay rise.
I gave my best years to medicine. Missed birthdays, bedtime stories, first steps, last moments. Swallowed the lie of our ‘indispensability.’
The truth?
Medicine will take everything if you let it. And it will never love you back. Don’t regret it like me.
@ItsnotrightUK@medicalmodelbri Speechless yet again. Tier 3 ST3 has 5 or 6 years at medical school, 2 years as FY , and then ST1 and ST2 where they will have done 6 months medicine, 6 months ED, 6 months of ITU and 6 months Anaesthetics and likely passed 2 out of 3 MRCEM exams.
@_janey_j@SueJRogerson@maggie2019moo People dying stop eating and drinking. It’s not about not feeding them. Which EOL drugs are you referring to? There are palliative guidelines for symptoms certainly, but it’s hardly the case that as soon as a patient is palliative they get pumped full of morphine and left to die
@SueJRogerson@maggie2019moo@_janey_j In my near decade of experience working as a doctor I would disagree with your statement entirely. No such thing as a “death pathway”
@maggie2019moo@_janey_j Yes it can. The decision to offer CPR; intubation and ventilation is a medical one. Setting a ceiling of treatment does not degrade the quality of a care a patient will receive. Hope you never need care from “evil bastards”
I have been sent excerpt of case notes of a “Left Frontal Bolt External Ventricular Drainage”
Done by a PA
Supervised by a PA
Assisted by a Registrar
Using Consent Form 4
(As documented)
Who do I send this to investigate on safety grounds?

🔴 This is the anti-doctor NHS at its finest.
They are spending millions of pounds on services such as Pharmacy First, putting patient safety and pharmacists' registration at risk.
⭕️ What you see as “simple medical conditions” might be manifestations of underlying serious health issues:
• Earache (mastoiditis/brain abscess)
• UTI (bladder/prostate cancer/PID)
• Infected insect bite (Lyme disease ☠️)
⭕️ Why not let pharmacists focus on what they were trained to do, and allow GPs to get on with their jobs by increasing funding?
They seem to promote any role to increase competition in primary care. This is mainly to humble salaried GPs and force them to accept shambolic rates.
@gloshospitals has been operating an SDEC lumbar puncture service since early this year. Alarmingly, a single PA has conducted at least 54 LPs without any oversight from a GMC-registered doctor. The Standard Operating Procedure lacks any requirement for direct supervision.
Some of you are really not ready to have the discussion that although the replacement of doctors with PAs is important; it’s not the whole story
It’s been happening and is being promoted to happen by RCEM.
Tiered rotas are replacement.
