I was set upon by a group of immigrants in Dublin yesterday. They gave me a triple heart bypass and saved my life 🫀😊

My junior colleague felt the need to explain why she’s leaving 15 mins early! She was over an hour late yesterday. As long as patients are safe/handed over please exert this autonomy when you can. It breeds a sense of control, well-being & good will for future unavoidable lates!

My husband (non NHS) can take ‘all the time you need’ to take ME to a medical appointment, yet I’m the one bending my **** backwards to get my own cover … I’m not going to add anything more as it won’t be pretty

I just assumed the GMC take their annual fee on everyone’s birthday. Every. Flippin’. Year.

Just a rant but being a patient is so hard! Today I’ve been expected to coordinate 2 departments to arrange appts for me on the same day. The onus is on me, on hold for over 3 hours today, net result nothing. Working for the NHS sucks sometimes but this is far more frustrating.

Dr Hannah Lunch 🇮🇪🦀🇵🇸 It’s like this, Someone walks into your house, I lost something in my house, What did you lose, Don’t know, When did you lose it, Don’t know, Describe what you lost, Don’t know, & you figure out what they lost, find it for them, & give it back to them, That’s medicine.

Every single time I do any extra hours Or a locum payroll cocks up the pay. Every. Single. Time The effort of sorting it out is no longer worth it apart from maybe helping out a colleague. Could be such a simple fix.

I have 2 appointments arranged by the same medical team, 40 minutes apart in different hospitals in London 30 minutes apart by public transport. When I queried this (which took 87 mins on hold) I was told its acceptable. This is NOT. Why do we do this to patients?

Ah the patriarchy in the GOV.UK passport is alive & well. Really they are saying could you please be Mrs G, also known as Doctor X & please don’t you dare ask again to be Doctor H, also known as Mrs G. It might hurt my husband’s feelings?

Any health boards using allocate? …. How’s it going 🙄 @RLDatix

In an unexpected failure of my orthostatic mechanisms today, on kneeling to talk TEPs with an elderly patient, I stood up & promptly fell face first into her. I covered this up nicely by explaining it’s entirely standard practice to kiss all patients at the end of the ward round.

Love this discussion! I adored being med reg. Nights & all. Caveat with acknowledging times are harder but still love the TAKE (gotta block out a lot of other nonsense which is never the patients doing) but the bread and butter still 🥰
