There’s a lot of confusion about junior doctors at the moment. Who are they? How much are they paid? Why are they striking? I’m a junior doctor, and thought I’d do a thread on the topic, so that people can link to it when someone spouts misinformation

A 🧵

[Dean @Dr_DeanS]

If you are wondering why we are striking.
This is my payslip right at the very end of my second year as a doctor.

[Dr Camilla B @DrCamillaB]

FY1s literally carry the crash bleep and could be first on scene if your heart stops. FY1s cover wards at night and are likely the only doctor you'll see there out of hours. FY1s are FORCED to make difficult decisions because senior/other staff are not available. For £14ph.

I will give all that I own for an Eras ticket. RELEASE THE EUROPEAN DATES NOW PLS WE ARE BEGGING

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

Thanks to this Government, junior doctors can now make more money serving coffee than saving patients.

From tomorrow we take #JuniorDoctorsStrike action so we’re paid what we’re worth.

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

In solidarity with my former junior doctor colleagues. A 98% yes vote tells you, and should tell the government, about the strength of feeling for pay restoration.

[Lee Horsley Frost @frostybutcher]

FREE BURGERS FOR ALL THESE LADS… IF YOU KNOW EM,TELL EM TO COME AND SEE US.

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

Question 1. If the NHS has 133,400 staff vacancies, with 40% of junior doctors planning to leave, and nursing salaries down 20% in real terms over the last decade, should you pay them a fair wage?

All hail queen @ClaudiaWinkle 👸

The Traitors is actually the best programme I’ve watched in YEARS

[Katie Mckenzie @katieeemck]

Watched the traitors for five mins and I am HOOKED (also late to the game yes)

[Katie Mckenzie @katieeemck]

Being an adult is rubbish I don’t want to spend money on food and petrol I want to do fun things !!!

One thing I don't think anyone talks seriously enough about is the absolute culture shock of coming to university. Particularly, as a student from a more working-class background.
