@chiragbarjatya A lot of MBBS doctors are heavily misinformed and feel that social media is where they need to make a mark instead of their clinical departments.

‘Consultant’ in hospital settings should only ever refer to doctors with CCT & with whom the buck stops.

Virtually everyone in power wants us to forget the people of Gaza. Those with a conscience cannot forgive or forget.
TIMES OF GAZA@Timesofgaza
Children lie on the wet ground and cover their thin bodies with bags, under the heavy rain flooding the Gaza Strip.

The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.

In addition to full pay restoration, the @BMAResidents must fight for:
1. Shorter training pathways
2. Switching 3+4 on-calls to fairer 3+2+2 rotas
3. Bringing back white coats!

NEW: We are facing a growing crisis of economically and socially dislocated young adults
The share of young people who are:
- Not working
- Not seeking work
- Not in education, and
- Not raising children
is approaching 10% in the UK and US, and has doubled in the UK in a decade

The claim that “there’s no money for junior doctors” collapses the moment you do the arithmetic.
Full restoration is ~£1.65bn a year.
The way to fund it without austerity or tax hikes is right here ↓
(Back-of-envelope, but the logic holds.)

Most people have no idea how bad the UK doctor training system really is. It demands double the training time of other countries, pays doctors less at every stage, and then often keeps them “junior” even after they finish all their training. Look at the numbers. 🧵⬇️
English
Arif Atique retweetledi
Most universal healthcare systems train competent doctors in 5–6 years.
Only the NHS stretches “training” to 8–11 years by using juniors to plug rota gaps and cover service work that has nothing to do with learning.
That’s not higher standards — it’s a structural choice that’s now breaking the pipeline.
English

A 28.9% raise after a decade of wage suppression isn’t a windfall.
It’s a partial correction that still leaves junior doctors paid far below their peers in other OECD systems—while training twice as long and advancing slower.
The strikes aren’t about a headline number.
They’re about the structure behind it.
Thread below has the numbers.

Optimizing biopsy sampling in Barrett’s esophagus surveillance:
The ultimate goal of Barrett’s esophagus surveillance is early detection of dysplasia and esophageal cancer
👉Dysplastic lesions are often invisible & subtle, they are hard to spot even for experienced endoscopists

When to take biopsies and when not to in an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, according to @BritSocGastro
Do you still biopsy subepithelial lesions?
And do you biopsy L.A. grade C/D esophagitis?
