my friend told me that they had convinced a load of their American friends that we call Burger King, Burger Taoiseach in Ireland because we don't respond well to monarchical terms here

The worst part of this is knowing that we as established consultants can’t in good faith encourage people to apply for posts with this sort of carry on @DonnellyStephen Paul Reid HSE HR Micheál Martin

Screaming into the void like everyone else on my timeline. Desperate, demoralising and depressing. This two doctor family also looks like another one to go away and not come back Sláintecare HSE Ireland

‘NCHDs working excessive and illegal hours putting them under enormous strain, and we have GP services facing unprecedented demand from patients.  The capacity is simply not there to meet demand and it is not all COVID related’ #CareCantWait

Hospitals want drs working 24 hr shifts, where they can’t leave for a break, but give them nowhere to eat. They need drs to wear scrubs but give them nowhere safe to put their normal clothes & possessions. The HSE treats doctors with utter contempt #twofingerstodoctors

Wish we had more teaching on it in Paeds. So thankful for all the support I had from @NicolaIBCLC The National Maternity Hospital Bob Keenan

Having to move my family from Sligo to Dublin, double rent, double bills, utility deposits, IMC and indemnity dues - this is an expensive time of year for NCHDs. Great support from new employer & HSE by being emergency taxed for 2+ months & now today -not getting paid at all!🙄😡

Having already killed or wounded 200,000 Palestinians, the extremist Israeli government is using mass starvation to engineer the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Despite these crimes, the US has provided $22 billion to Israeli military operations since the war began. Enough is enough.
