- My dad has reopened his kebab shop for takeaway and sent me a selfie. I sent one back.
- Dear @metpoliceuk, I must have missed the bit at law school where a crime only occurs once an internal investigation confirms it. This stinks to high heaven.
- I’m from a v working class background (mum was a dinner lady, dad had a kebab shop). I have been a City solicitor and I’m now a doctor. We need MORE people from working class backgrounds in professions and not to perpetuate the idea that they’re only for certain kinds of people.
- Tough run of nights lately. I’m treating myself to a Deliveroo breakfast followed by Netflix in bed. Sending good vibes to other NHS workers at the moment.
- The NHS runs on 10% instant coffee, 10% terrible IT systems and 80% passive aggressive laminated A4 signs.
- How am I still doing exams aged 36? Why do I still have a pencil case?!😂😩
- I don’t think of myself as having the typical anaesthetist personality… but then I find myself sorting the trolley, then the conveyer belt according to an item’s final location in the kitchen for ease of packing and putting away..
- Everyone is telling us how exhausted we will be as new parents and how our lives are about to basically end. We know! We are anxious already! But tell me, what do you love about having a child? Positive stuff only please.
- Having this tiny bit of real estate in the hospital does more for me than any mandatory wellness module ever could.
- Can’t stop thinking about something a medical student told me this week. A cardiologist told her that he hoped she would ‘never be his doctor’. She said she cried for the rest of the morning. Her ‘crime’ was not using the textbook he recommended to study.
- Helping a patient have a beautiful death experience is every bit as satisfying as helping to provide a beautiful birth experience. 🤍
- Replying to @LeylsTurkWell this blew up...! If you fancy a great kebab and are in the Tewkesbury are, visit my dad at Turquaz kebabs. Please don’t visit me at work. Stay safe, all! X
- The grace and altruism of gay and bisexual men showing up and giving blood after suffering decades of discrimination is quite something. 🩸 🌈
