Being a doctor is weird as you are held to infinitely high standards by everyone but also expected to play down that your job is high responsibility & intellectually tiring at times & have to act like any old rando could do your easy job so people don't think you're "superior"

I'm a 4th gen doctor. This meant I went to good schools, socialised with other doctor's kids- many of whom also wanted to become doctors and shared tips and resources about medical school entry- and already knew many lecturers when I got in. It's *not* a level playing field.

Starting to realise that the workload juniors face would be halved if we had:

a) enough computers/printers that actually work

b) IT systems that don't take 10 mins to load up or crash/freeze randomly

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵
