@virginmedia Do you really want 20 people inundating you. One person reports and states that it is the whole street. Please believe them. Happy to supply the numerous house numbers (in private) from our whatsapp chats

@drandyg72 Hi Andrew, apologies that you've been experiencing outages again. Have you been given an estimated fix time for this? ^MF

@virginmedia Anyone else had the diabolical service from Virgin? All working from home. Engineer comes, attempts repairs at the street box and tells us all is OK. 1 day later back to outages. Whole street affected. @BentsDrive Sheffield. Still paying maximum subscription though😠

@Aleexxies @ronanlyne @Medicman_Dan Have you involved your Senior rota organiser, TPD, quality improvement team and departmental CD to think about a business case. Is there a junior doctor forum lead by an understanding consultant? All these things can help.

@drandyg72 @ronanlyne @Medicman_Dan Supporting AHPs - e.g. supporting nurses and PAs to assess/prescribe without massive hurdles

Thank you to those who thought I could calculate my £13.5412 wage to 4d.p. Apologies to incoming junior Drs/medical students: your hourly wage is £13.5412 #MedTwitter #medstudenttwitter #FiY1

@ronanlyne @Medicman_Dan @Aleexxies How can that be improved?

@drandyg72 @Medicman_Dan @Aleexxies I’mma just...skip over the tube driver thing for a mo & say: yes, being a Dr, very wow, much privilege—but actually? Being a junior dr is becoming ever more distant from that. little patient contact, endless admin work, no decision-making...it’s v different now from your HO days.

@jamestoml1 Damn Tomo. You should have told me it was so wild. Could have used the dermatome on your bonce.

Hair today gone tomorrow. Well today. Was time to get rid of Covid hair!

@Medicman_Dan @Aleexxies Our job is for life. Yep it has its really shit moments, full of self doubt, misery and hard graft. But has some amazing times too. A tube driver does not add value to someone life.

@Aleexxies Imagine going to med school for 5+ years & undergoing rigourous on-the-job training for another 2+, just to be paid 1/3 of a tube driver who trained for a solid 12 WEEKS

@plattsnisbett One of the best companies in the UK. (they don't even pay me!)

Here’s one for the #orthopods. Teaspoons, Dessert Spoons, Long Handled Jamspoons. Reusable Medical Devices made in #Sheffield from High Grade Stainless Steel. Sheffield was known for its cutlery, but #orthocutlery 🥄 is less well known 😀 #orthopod #orthotwitter #orthopaedics

@jamestoml1 @JonMcGregorRil1 Trying to get it in....

@JonMcGregorRil1 @drandyg72 Would be a good option, and also good for other teaching too to allow video conferencing.

Great work! I recognise many of the positive and negative features. #orthotwitter we need to work harder than ever to keep the educational elements of trauma conference alive in the COVID era of remote meetings.

@jamestoml1 You were a sympathy employment. I think you ticked some sort of rare box HR couldn't fill with anyone else.

Genuine question - are we expecting too much from trainees now? I applied for core training equivalent with no teaching experience, one audit, no publications, no presentations, no higher degrees. Just worked hard. Easy to see why people now struggling.

@JonMcGregorRil1 @nomapod @phdcycles @CycleSheffield Ridiculed is a bit harsh. We worry for you Saif

@nomapod @phdcycles @CycleSheffield Who ridicules you? I am full of awe and admiration. Happy to put you back together if needed🤞

2nd weekend in 3. Raining, miserable. Boxing was good this morning. All stay in and watch the rugby. Trauma is rammed

On call today. Can everyone please stay inside

@CenterRotation @jointdocShields @NaanDerthaal @InvictaOrtho @Orthofacts @AAHKS Yep very well done indeed. A good setup with all on board. Just wondering how do you get such engagement, cross silo in these austere times. Getting over the nay sayers and can't do always a challenge. @STHODD

@gillryan13QI @portsmouthqi @imperialqi @FCA_coaching @LauraPolkingho8 Share some of the nuts (and likes). I bet they are universal

Today the orthopaedic revision joint surgery Big Room turned into a “little “ big room within theatres! Mapping and love and nuts. empower ownership of change ⁦@portsmouthqi⁩ ⁦@imperialqi⁩ ⁦@FCA_coaching⁩ ⁦@gillryan13QI⁩ ⁦@LauraPolkingho8⁩

@ChelleWilde Go to the Blue Lagoon then! Love Iceland

#lavaland #Iceland. Too bleak to venture out today.

@gillryan13QI @imperialqi @FCA_coaching @portsmouthqi I remember that. We have Messrs Potato Head (or Mr Potato Heads) on standby and ready for tomorrow. @FCA_coaching

The M and M challenge! How not to eat them before the end of the PDSA cycles!! @imperialqi @FCA_coaching @portsmouthqi

@CenterRotation It's about the tension. Both with knee flexed and extended. Very low threshold for revising the cup (you didn't mention it, I use dual mobility or captive) if not revisibg think about fixed hinge variant at knee. If never done one, why do it alone?

Huge thanks to our Outstanding Outpatients Hippo teams @SheffieldHosp for your fab work reducing hospital cancellations.
