My daughter was 5 when she had open heart surgery.
As a mother, I was terrified.
As a paediatrician, helpless.
We had been waiting for 5 hours when the phone rang.
Nausea. Anticipation. Fear.

It’s a absolutely disgusting that I could go in and have a pint now but my partner may not be able to see the birth of my child if I was pregnant ? I may have to miscarry alone? We fail women over and over again
My mum has just worked as nurse throughout the pandemic, a year after qualifying. Got COVID at work. She recovered (we thank God) and went back to work. She's now decided to apply for a new role in a different setting and this is what was sent to her by the recruiter. @CWPT_NHS

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rates among psychiatric disorders. Of those who survive, only 50% recover, 30% improve and 20% remain chronically ill. We still do not know how to talk about EDs, and most don't understand them. I really hope that can change.
