My becoming a doctor journey:
2000 - Situation in Lebanon is dreadful. Forced to leave my parents behind (not because I want to, but because I have to). Arrive in the UK at 17 years of age. First jobs were working in a kebab van, cleaning floors & stacking supermarket shelves on minimum wage. Customers ask me if I can speak English.
2003 - Miraculously get into Manchester Medical School despite having to work 50 years/week to survive and the constant threat this posed on securing the necessary grades.
2006 - Forced to interrupt medical school due to the trauma of the Lebanon War and other factors. Develop severe psychological distress. Rendered impoverished, hopeless, homeless & suicidal. Stigmatised & dehumanised.
2011 - Recover, resume medical school with renewed determination & resilience & finally realise my dream of becoming a doctor.
2023 - NHS psychiatrist in London providing care to people who suffer from mental health conditions like I once did.
NEVER stop believing in yourself.

@Knitknurse Yes! Actually the managing agent might not know that this place is not being cleaned properly. So yes - send the photo

@mattie2twi @JulieOwenMoylan It’s a 12 hour eating window as in Intermittent Fasting. I eat within a 10-hr window eating from 9.0am and 70pm. This has worked wonders for me including less joint pain and all under the Zoe Health Study. The ad btw is a disgrace

@JulieOwenMoylan It feels rude for me to comment on the age of the lady on the left as I am no spring chicken, but I don't understand the ad, 'eat for 12 hours'? A greedy day indeed if I spent more than 2 hours with food in any day. lots of the photos posted in response very lovely though. 😊

@QprEver I’m afraid Angela Rayner’s spot on! Very well described!

It was inevitable. The song is a mess, like the situation the BBC has found itself in. But this one's dedicated to all the dudes showing solidarity with @GaryLineker on @BBCMOTD. ⚽️🎶 #IStandWithGary #GaryLineker #BBCQuestionTime #WatfordFCManagementApproachNeeded 🐝

Let’s do all we can to make sure @GaryLineker wins Sports Personality of the Year …. With or without a presenter …

RT if you want to nominate & vote for @GaryLineker for 2023 BBC Sports Personality of the Year?

@pknewhaven It’s so utterly depressing when the chairman is still there and no action has been taken against people like Alan Sugar

I applaud @GaryLineker for his compassion and support for vulnerable people, particularly refugees.
Thank you, Gary.
