I swear switchboard has a pressure detector under my chair at home- finally sit down to eat tea and the phone goes!!

@Neuro_Matt Wow, she really just came right out and said it, didn't she? No shame

This is an astonishing take. Baroness admits to voting for Section 28, which meant any mention of homosexuality in schools was banned. Then claims that people opposed to it wanted “AIDS unchecked”.
Emma Harriet Nicholson@Baroness_Nichol
Simon I am seriously thinking of you and those like you as wishful of AIDS unchecked! I voted for S.28 when there was NO immunisation nor cure.But you and yours wished schools to teach the very behaviour that was the only known cause of AIDS. I as VP of charity CRUSAID - did not.

@ejoeyward @DrJSherrington The dog I see most often is a dachshund who only thinks he is a giant doggie, not used to a dog who weighs as much as me wanting all the love immediately!! She is most gorgeous though

@DocCSarah @DrJSherrington She’s tame compared to when she was younger 😂😂

@Microbedoc2 @chrispaget1 We get a reg for 1 in 7 of our on calls, it's always a lovely treat!
English
@chrispaget1 TBF I move to a trust where I'm second on in Nov -
My reg defending my sleep.

Me getting called at 4am for a totally inane reason that clearly could have waited until 9am.
English
@Microbedoc2 Did you calmly inform them that you were absolutely certain that the patient would not die if the prophylactic antifungals waited until the 8am medication round? Before gently reminding them of the time of day/night?
English
@DocCSarah I got a call about a stable patient at 4am as the conscientious doctor had noted a plan to start prophylactic antifungals 72 hrs ago, that hadn't been enacted - and wanted to confirm whether to start now.

@DTM_Woodworks Surely the doctor wouldn't have prescribed it if you didn't need it?
English
A pharmacist at Walgreens refused to fill a prescription for me today because he wanted proof that I needed the medication. Then said he wanted to speak with the doctor only, a secretary wasn’t go enough. He wanted my health records to fill a script I’ve been filling for years.

Ive not received my RPSS in the flesh. Has anyone?
Guessing they were sent second class, I mean its not if there is any urgency or anything

@ThatEricAlper What do you mean in the 1970s? They are indestructible so every kitchen still has one
English
Did every kitchen in the 1970s have one of these?
English
@MsPottingShed @Jennife10651535 @DrSdeG Our GP online booking works well but I do miss talking to the reception staff who were always incredibly helpful, even when stuck
English
Yet again, the ability of the NHS to take best practice and kill it, and take bad practice and promote it instead, has floored me.
Decimating morale by moving someone instead of firing them, trying to get people to do something that won't work.
Fed up in the extreme.

@StephenOld @danielgoyal @chrischirp @Kevin_Fong The med students who stepped up before they were due to start working to be extra pairs of hands and walked straight into hell with us were amazing. They didn't have to do that, but they wanted to help. What an awful way to start a career
English
@danielgoyal @chrischirp @Kevin_Fong My son worked on a covid ward as a recently qualified doctor. He was really upset. He saw at least one death every day. He said, "I became a doctor to help people; not to watch them die."
English
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.

@DrJSherrington I was Erythrodite at a Drag Queen workshop at the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival last year with the phenomenal Amber Sands (check her out)
English
@RN_Atheist Over 80% of my patients have African names. First time I meet them I ask them how to pronounce their name, double check, then do that from then on. Sorted. Don't see why folk would do any differently.

@jabberwock951 Haematology on call in Coventry- consultant (occasionally reg), big London hospital, do you want white cell transplant, white cell non-transplant, bleeding, clotting, red cell, then ANP, reg or consultant...what if it was a sickle transplant????
English
Working in a teaching hospital:
OK you're Reg 1F on the late middle twilight shift, cover PWD and assist the COPW until five, then take all calls on 61943 and cover D7 on P floor. But only stroke or gastro patients.
Working in a DGH:
You're the ward reg. Cover the wards.

@postcardsbyelle The writing is awful. But are any of her characters actually likeable?

@ikeijeh @FernRiddell Less sectarian? While he was growing up? Do the Troubles ring a bell?
English
@FernRiddell This isn't how history works. There's good & bad in any period, that's not the point, progress is, not change. And as far as Starkey's citations go, we were objectively a more homogenous, more trusting, more family oriented, more law-abiding & less sectarian society in the past.
English
@AndrewJD We have had some doctors in your position come and work with us in haematology, which is interesting as we are pathologists and not medics, but we have some very acutely sick patients and generally they seem to enjoy their time with us. We try and tailor it to be useful!
