The Lady Dr K

Very dangerous day when @Jeremy_Hunt recommends parents Google child's rash instead of seeking medical advice donotlink.com/i2ia

@sxde_ @CWPT_NHS I hope that @cwpt_nhs actually investigates this practice fully and takes appropriate action I.e sacking the sender of this email. Whoever else was involved in the email trail (evidenced in nhs mail) should also face severe disciplinary action /suspension. Not surprising at all.

My mum has just worked as nurse throughout the pandemic, a year after qualifying. Got COVID at work. She recovered (we thank God) and went back to work. She's now decided to apply for a new role in a different setting and this is what was sent to her by the recruiter. @CWPT_NHS

While some progress has been made, to pretend that discrimination does not exist is damaging as is denying the link between structural racism and wider health inequalities.

Within the largest employer in the country – the #NHS – there is clear and unmistakable evidence that staff from ethnic minorities have worse experiences at work and face more barriers in progressing their careers than their white counterparts.

We disagree with the conclusions of today's report from the commission on race and ethnic disparities. 👇

Funny how it's not fine to attend a #BlackLivesMatter protest but it's absolutely fine to have a VE Day Street Party isn't it?

@JamesAshcroftMD @bmj_latest I do not believe it. Surely you need to test it in a specialty where quiet means more than phone calls? It means a literal bloodbath and hell breaking loose??

As somebody frequently scolded for saying the word ‘quiet’ within the hospital, I’m delighted by the results of this study! @bmj_latest

Diane Abbott drinks a G&T on the overground: THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW DIANE YOU BELONG IN PRISON Boris Johnson openly saying he'll break the law for a no deal: well let's not be too hasty he's just enacting the will of the people

@laurevans311 Always!!

@StephenMakin Love this. I still recall the Med regs who helped me out as a PRHO. Makes such a difference.

I’ve seen lots of threads about ‘how to phone to the med reg’ always organise your thoughts, know what you’re asking, and structure it in the way I like. Here’s a thread about how to be the med reg getting those calls.

@theplaguedoc Astonishing!!!

@frolickingfood @keduffield Always. Because the default is made don’t you know!!

@keduffield I have noticed that a “gender neutral” approach tends to impact women most.

Can you share some examples of good (&bad) debriefing after traumatic events at work?

@KLM @HeatherYemm I’ve breastfed many, many times on @emirates and never been asked to cover up. Breastfeeding is entirely natural. A settled and well fed child is surely better than a hungry upset screaming one? @klm you’ve lost yourself a lot of customers here.

@HeatherYemm Breastfeeding is permitted at KLM flights. However, to ensure that all our passengers of all backgrounds feel comfortable on board, we may request a mother to cover herself while breastfeeding, should other passengers be offended by this.

@KLM What is your policy regarding breastfeeding?

Hi Daniel. My ancestors were enslaved for centuries by the Dutch and British in what's now Guyana and Barbados. They weren't emancipated until the 19th century. Quite a claim that you are also descended from slaves. I'm sure you would not make it without proof. Do you have any?

@traumagasdoc She’s a girl, don’t you know we only get pink cannulas??? Or so I’d think from our admissions from A&E

Really enjoying the first episode of #KillingEve, but seriously - stabbed in the abdomen and all she gets is a pink venflon in the back of the hand??

@mjslabbert @AmaMB You’re amazing!

@AmaMB I’m an anaesthetic doctor that spend most of the last two decades in a flight suit in helicopters and now I’m the lead doctor in my ICU (this is some of my team of male nurses, physio, dietitian and social worker with me). Girls can be doctors (and doctor-bosses too 😎).

@drandrewmackay Ugh the pain is real.
