@mikeflynn68 @llewellynsteven @DrLukeCraddock How is there choice? To pay the £9.5k tuition fees and pay for the accommodation, a student loan is required. Normal people don't simply have that cash available!

[Tan @tanb2002]

@AdrianAshby10 @DrLukeCraddock Exactly 😪

[Tan @tanb2002]

@ferafestiva23 @DrLukeCraddock @CharlotteCGill @MartinSLewis will explain why you don't over pay student loans. It's not comparable to a personal loan or mortgage.

[Tan @tanb2002]

@loftgroovv1 @DrLukeCraddock What's the other option? Don't get a degree? To get a degree, unless you're rich, you rely on the loan for the tuition fees and maintenance. Without student loans there'd be no doctors, nurses, lawyers etc

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

Student loans are becoming a headline area of interest recently. As a doctor who trained and is now working in the UK, I thought I would share my situation.

Despite working for almost three years, my loan has continued to grow, and now sits at this amount. [1/7].

NOT ONE !

Imagine those living in Greenland just now

Peaceful, relatively prosperous, minding their own business

Then suddenly threatened with invasion by a fascist, authoritarian regime

No reason. They’re not at war, no conflict, no social unrest…

Now living in fear.

Barbaric!

@pwsimerimiaw @NicoReznick Yeah they don't all use alcohol wipes either... Again, immunosuppressed so I'd really like a quick arm wipe before opening a vein... Septicaemia isn't what I came for!

[Tan @tanb2002]

@_mercurianmind @Wonderland_Z00 @whitesundesert What if those issues developing over the month are all linked? A cancer perhaps? Cherry picking one symptom may delay diagnosis and treatment.

[Tan @tanb2002]

@ElleWatts77 @Wonderland_Z00 @whitesundesert Exactly. I have chronic conditions (autoimmune). New symptoms.... Is this autoimmune? Caused by my meds? Caused by my anaemia which is caused by my immunosuppression? Is it a flare? Bodies are complex and the gp needs the full picture to understand what's going on.

[Tan @tanb2002]

@Fat_Jacques @whitesundesert Me: I'm not qualified to decide which symptom is important to you to make a diagnosis... Here's them all, do with that info as you wish!

[Tan @tanb2002]

@Fat_Jacques @whitesundesert I've done this before!!!

[Tan @tanb2002]

@whitesundesert And I'm not a doctor qualified to decide if those 2 issues are related or not, so surely a doctor needs ALL the symptoms at once to diagnose? This ruling has always baffled me... Just tease the doc with one symptom and see if they can crack the diagnosis... 🤯

My partner wonders why our toddler prefers me, it's simple just sit on the floor while they play and PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONE DOWN

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

I once asked a high-performer why they stayed with their company for 10 years.

​I expected them to say "the salary" or "the bonuses options."

Instead, they said:

"A few years ago, I had a family emergency. My manager didn't ask for a doctor's note. They didn't check my performance. They just said: 'Take care of your family, we’ve got your back.'"

​Retention isn't a "perk." It's a feeling.

​If you want to keep your best people in 2026, stop looking at them as "resources" and start looking at them as humans.

Perks like free snacks and fancy offices are great, but psychological safety is what keeps the lights on.

@LostAmericanDRM @Simon_Ingari UK vs USA

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

A candidate kept applying for the same role at the same company.
Every time it was advertised, he applied.

And every time, he wasn’t shortlisted.

The reason?
A gap on his CV.

When HR saw his application for the fifth time, they decided to call him.

The interview went exceptionally well.
Confident. Clear. Highly capable.

Curious, HR asked,
“Why the employment gap? And why haven’t you been working despite being this impressive?”

He paused, then explained:
“My wife fell critically ill. I resigned to take care of her.”

He got the offer.

Today, he is one of the company’s top performers,
and he’s now being lined up for a promotion with a better compensation package.

Behind every CV gap, there may be a story of sacrifice, love, and responsibility.

Let’s never forget the human side of hiring.

@tomo_medina @SamaHoole Where have sheep caused desertification? I have not seen this in the UK or new Zealand who have a lot of sheep!

@2laurabone @1goodtern This has me wondering... When screening for donor organs, do they check for pervious covid infections (concerningly most people have had it) or at least for subtle signs of covid damage? 🤷 🤔

[Tan @tanb2002]

@LightProgRock @Maoskyist So... A landlord needs to just give away their accommodations for free to people to live in? Please explain what model you have in mind for landlords and tenants?
