Here's an article I wrote about Irishness.
'Some voices loudly claim that Irishness is about place & blood & that it is under attack. They are lying. The way to protect our Irishness is by staying true to those values we wish to define us as a society.'

Thinking of the doctors this week starting a new job, in a new hospital, in a new home with people they just met on Sunday night, away from their partner, children and wider support network 😔
Great letter 👌 @IMO_IRL
Sophie@sophiegregg2020
Thank you @IrishTimes for publishing. Conditions need to improve for our junior doctors so we retain as many of our highly trained docs as possible. Pre- pandemic issues need to be resolved @IMO_IRL @IrishDocsEnv #nchds

Great to see @SouthAfricanAS talk on AMS/new abs in LMICs.
You don't need an antibiotic script to show your boss you need sick leave!
POC testing reduces diagnostic uncertainty and so abs prescribing in all settings

@TheRestHistory loved the latest podcast on monkeys. Sadly absent was Cork's Tojo, the US WWII monkey who crash landed in Clonakilty and who's untimely rum fuelled death led to a wake in a local hotel and a funeral with full military honours 🐒 @dcsandbrook

Our Sudanese medical colleagues are caring for us, our relatives and friends in Ireland while their own parents and families are in danger at home. I support them being able to bring their families to safety in Ireland.

Always good when a study shows something and people say hmm really?? 🤔
And then 💥 a perfect letter, as if made in a lab, to illustrate the rotted, old boys club culture of medicine ❄️❄️
Dr Liz O'Riordan@Liz_ORiordan
I have no words. Thanks to the @thetimes who led with the story about 1/3 female surgeons being sexually harassed, even raped, at work, for publishing this letter from an anaesthetist saying we should expect it!! This is why it is still goes on @wpsms_org @RCoANews Bullying should not happen. Sexual harassment is a criminal offence NOT a routine part of medical training

Thinking of my Sudanese medical colleagues and their families in Khartoum❣️🙏
There are over 700 Sudanese doctors working in Ireland, minding us/our families each day 🇸🇩

Two great letters, one from Dr Chris Fitzpatrick, another from a woman who is paying for private antenatal care, responding to the concerns expressed by two Masters about the new consultant contracts:

A very thoughtful and well argued opinion piece. Ireland is such an outlier. I remember jaws dropping in an interview panel in Ireland when I stated I was in favour of universal healthcare free at point of access. Such a heretical viewpoint! @McGlackenByrne
Domhnall McGlacken-Byrne@McGlackenByrne
Hello! Here's an article I wrote in today's @IrishTimes. 'The achievement of universal healthcare must be an absolutely central aim of all those who wish to bring about a decent and truly modern Irish society, fit for the next century.' @DoctorsForUHC irishtimes.com/opinion/2022/1…

I wrote this piece on a topic that, in my experience, is thought about a lot more than it is talked about.
Hopefully this might be a small step towards changing that. @IMO_IRL @irishexaminer
