1. After 24 years i have achieved a sort of landmark- i have published my 1000th peer reviewed publication ➡️ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=mamas+m&… My first paper was around spinal cord injury, and for the 1000th paper It is fitting that it was: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the UK:

1. Medicine is rapidly becoming an expensive hobby- working class people can no longer afford to become doctors given the poor salaries and huge debts on graduation. I am the son of immigrants - I couldn't speak English until i was 5-i was born/ brought up in longsight,

I am the educational and academic supervisor of several junior doctors and I run projects for medical students in my research group. It is frightening how many are taking exams for the US and Canada and how many are applying for jobs in Australia. I have never seen anything

2. It doesn't make me a bad Cardiologist and doesn't mean that my role shouldn't exist- It merely means that I should work with a clear scope of practice / regulation in what I have been trained to do. There are no shortcuts in medicine, patient safety should always be a

This is so messed up- paediatricians that raised concerns were forced to write letters of apology to the UKs biggest murderer of babies and were reprimanded - and managers who covered up her actions have had no consequences. Doctors ended up going to the police themselves as the

Paediatricians realised that Lucy Letby was on duty every time there was an “unexpected catastrophic event” that led to the deaths. Letby took out a grievance against the doctors. She won, and the consultants were forced to make a written apology to the murderer. 2/

I worked throughout the COVID pandemic covering the COVID ward along with my other consultant cardiology colleagues and provided emergency heart attack care 24/7. We were provided with red plastic aprons without proper PPE , and threatened with dismissal if we bought our own.

My drain became blocked recently - i was charged £160 to unblock it (for 1hr work). A junior doctor unblocking your coronary artery during a heart attack and 10-15 yrs training will get £28.

I'm pretty sure that you didn't have £100,000 loan to pay back and you got free / heavily subsidised accommodation. I was only paying £200/ month for accommodation 5 mins walk from harrods in knightsbridge as an SHO and I couldn't afford to buy the house i bought as an SHO now.

When I was a junior doctor I wasn’t paid well, but I accepted I was an ‘apprentice’ and thus couldn’t expect a massive salary. Our junior colleagues need to realise that they are simply doctors in training whose priority should be their patients not income. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

When you take some of the brightest people of their generation, make them work in a system that is broken, understaffed, with a bullying / racist culture- cut their salaries by 30% then refuse to meet with them to discuss terms and conditions, and blame them for being

The junior doctors operating on your appendix are paid just £66.55 between them. For a potentially life-saving procedure, which lasts about an hour. Is this a fair price to put on high quality healthcare? #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike

For those wondering why I've been off Twitter for nearly 3 weeks. My 82 yo father was admitted with influenza pneumonitis , a type 2 AMI and sustained 2x PEA arrests in A&E and the cath lab on Dec 18th. I wanted to publicly express my thanks to all the staff involved in his

There are many that say that the reason doctors are raising patient concerns is that they feel threatened by PAs As a professor of cardiology - I will never be in competition against PAs. They will never be a threat to my career. Also, by virtue of who I am, If ever admitted to
