@Dr_DeanS Completely hear you. Only child of elderly parents & parents of their only grandchild means I’m here for the foreseeable. I just couldn’t do it to them.
@DrNickB_ObAnaes Thank you very much for your reply! It was one of the few things I saw in surgery that rattled me as a student! Interesting (& on reflection not surprising) to learn this impact as it was done during every c section I saw
@HIVTox What a tune being played in the background here!!! Not one you hear often out & about, defo was worth paying that crew to end their set/break up in order to replace with Freddie! Enjoy your well deserved hols 😎
@CaolanConcannon @newschambers @IMO_IRL@health_irish And then the humiliation of the timesheet vetting process…no annual leave, sick leave, study leave this month? Good little doc.. 😩🤦♀️
@Sophievdp2 @newschambers @IMO_IRL@health_irish The system is designed to assume that we are all single men in our early 20s with well off parents providing financial support.
@newschambers @IMO_IRL@health_irish Also, let them know what we’re actually paid, not just the headline grabbing outliers! I told one of my nursing colleagues what my pay was recently & she couldn’t believe it. Granted it goes up over years but everyone thinks we’re loaded. Have had patients tell me so before
@newschambers @IMO_IRL@health_irish The sheer amount of leg work & time involved in getting paid, dealing with offices that open 9-5 on a good day (& forget about getting any answer from between 12&2) when you’re lucky to get any decent sort of break at all.
@ritakj That’s a disgraceful response but strangely refreshing in its honesty. Defo feels like HR want to make sure you don’t get any notions & take you down a peg or two. I don’t think I can ever go back so I’m another one lost to the system. I’m trying to value my own life & health
Maybe today's the day you should try my podcast! Each week features a catch up on the news with @aoifegracemoore, an interview with someone doing something interesting (this week it's Daisy Edgar-Jones) and a celeb story debrief (with @CassieLorraine today).
Our thoughts are with the family, friends & classmates Shauna McGrath. Shauna was a UL midwifery student who will be missed by her classmates & by all who worked with her in Waterford University Hospital & University Maternity Hospital Limerick. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal
‘How long will my family, my partner, my friends put up with my absenteeism?’
Subjecting those we care about to our absences, last minute cancellations, constant relocations and stress
#StandingUp4NCHDs
Our #medicalscientists colleagues are going on strike tomorrow. It will become very clear very quickly how much @saoltagroup @HSELive hospitals rely on them. Nevermind the whole pandemic response, every facet of hospital function depends on medical scientists. I wish them luck.
