Sometimes a paediatric nurse, mostly an aimless traveller. Occasionally both at the same time. Bunny hugging do gooder, extremely annoying, etc. She/they
@quigprint@iwoot If it's any consolation they messaged me to say they'd cancelled my order, messaged me to say they'd dispatched my order, then when I queried both those things they were surprised that I wanted to cancel my order and couldn't do that because they'd dispatched it ๐
@NurseStandard Honestly they can just fuck off. Are there any of us who haven't lost a good friend and colleague to suicide?? We don't need support, we need a world in which they don't need to die, a working environment that isn't literally killing people.
Iโm back from Calais, where I saw the dire plight of refugees firsthand.
Each time I visit, I learn more about the desperation of those this government dehumanises.
I also learn about our capacity for kindness. Thanks to the staff & volunteers for the vital care you provide.
Another tragedy in Calais. A week ago, a Sudanese man was killed by a train in what appears to be suicide.
This was a horrendous but foreseeable consequence of people's desesperate situation here.
Our thoughts, anger & solidarity go out to the family & communities left behind.
These are the conditions people are living in in Northern France. I took these photos yesterday when temperatures did not rise above zero all day. I am not suprised that people want- need- to escape this and will try anything to do so. They died trying not to die. #channel#kent
A humanitarian emergency is unfolding on the British border. @RishiSunak, your Government mocks the rights of those fleeing war by accusing them in turn of an โinvasionโ. As long as people seeking safety are ignored and harassed by the authorities, weโll be here in solidarity.
@ThatKerryHudson what he was doing on the computer and looked me in the eyes and just said "I'm sorry". It was the moment of connection for me, it felt like the first time anyone had actually just looked at me. It did more than the sleeping pills he prescribed! (2/2)
@ThatKerryHudson A few weeks after I was sexually assaulted I went to the gp for something to help with my utter inability to sleep. Id obviously seen a bunch of medical professionals in the preceeding weeks, but this one locum gp, when I explained the problem, sat back in his chair, stopped(1/2)
@PippaCrerar
Is there any way that you or your colleagues would consider an article showing the true numbers of NHS staff that have taken their own lives in the past few years ?The true number is shocking and heartbreaking. Would appreciate some help to highlight this. X
After 3 weeks reporting on the Ocean Viking search and rescue ship, I've hung up my lifejacket.
I'm taking a bit of time off now, but here's a recap of my reports. They aren't easy reading, but I urge you to take a look - not enough is known about what's happening in the Med.๐งต
