    Imagine to have the audacity to be sitting in government, about to give yourself yet another £7K pay rise the following financial year to bring your salary up 41% since 2010, and walk in front of a camera and tell the public there isn’t more money for the NHS salaries.

    Sorry - Steve Barclay is on f**king holiday??? How is this not front page news? Yet one member of the BMA goes to a friends wedding and they are tipped for being a champagne socialist? I’m so done with media in this country. Tory mouthpieces.

    The Letby case demonstrates how little accountability there is for senior management in the NHS. They’ve essentially been accomplices to the murder of multiple babies through their negligence and reputation management, but they’ll slink off quietly to other highly paid jobs.

    Just a reminder that Nadine Dorries trained to be a nurse “at the cost of the taxpayer”, with no fees for nursing school, and then still only managed to work for the NHS for 3 years before swanning off to industry. The worst kind of hypocrite.

    My ⁦@DailyMailUK⁩ column today. We tax payers pay half a million £ to train a doctor and when they are qualified, almost half of them from some medical schools head to Australia or NZ. Time to impose pay back! dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
    Readers added context
    For context: DM have run a similar piece previously dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2… where the cost was greatly exaggerated. However such claims have been previously debunked fullfact.org/health/cost-tr…

    I occasionally think that I managed to come through the pandemic relatively psychologically unscathed, and then I try watching something like this and realise that actually all I’ve done is repress a whole lot of horror, that I will likely need to address at some point.

    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.

    I’m sorry but this is fucking awful from BMJ. I personally think there is a role in medicine to think about placebo injections, but childbirth is not it. Women have put up with people not taking their pain seriously for too long, and deserve proper, evidence-based treatments.

    Reading the comments in this tweet does make me wonder if the people of the U.K. are fundamentally awful. Have to remind myself angry racists are over-represented on social media comments sections.

    If you are a consultant who regularly moans about junior doctors “not being like they were in my day”, maybe you could consider that you have the power to improve their training by 1. learning your juniors’ names, and 2. actually making a vague attempt to train them.

    #cardiology twitter - please tell me that when cardiology registrars progress a year in their training they call it “ST elevation”. If not, you are dead to me as a profession. #medtwitter

    I find it amazing that MPs are able to say with a straight face that it’s unreasonable of doctors to have expected their salaries to keep up with living costs, when MP salaries have increased 28% since 2010. But Drs asking for a similar amount to restore pay are “unreasonable”.

    Hang on - so in the USA if the parents want to make a horrible, damaging decision for their child, the medical profession just lets them?? That’s insane. The child is not the property of their parents. They are their own person with their own rights to good healthcare.

    Only in America can people spin such a dramatic yarn for “someone was a bit faint on a flight so I gave them a bag of fluids”
