Two years ago, I protested outside Downing Street. I was six months’ pregnant, and working as a doctor on the frontline. 👩‍⚕️ Within hours, I knew my life would never be the same. THREAD: 🧵

Please help as much or as little as you can and spread the word, so these wonderful young men get to keep their home and quality of life. An adapted home provides comfort, care, and safety; all they want to do is keep it 🤞🏻 #savetheirhome gofundme.com/f/help-sam-and…

In 2019, I did a self-devised research project looking into whether medical students were living below the poverty line and was heartbroken to find out that 92% of respondents did, with 99% already working part time. If they struggled then, how can they eat/study now? #nhsbursary

Actually amazed that 8hrs later, we haven't moved an inch on the M6 approaching Coventry. Completely understand the need to block the road forwards, but to leave 1000s of people stuck with no escape backwards, around, or without any updates, is horrific. Starving and exhausted 😡

Hey Steve Barclay, I’m a doctor. Today I was the only surgical assistant for two curative mastectomies, and got home three hours after my shift finished so a third lady’s cancer curing surgery didn’t have to be postponed. I brought home <£80 post tax. Should I be working harder?

Doctors are furious. A record breaking turn out of 77.49% and a 98% yes mandate smashing the anti-trade union legislation that demands POSTAL votes for a significant size of the workforce who rotates on an at least an annual basis is undeniable.

You know life is bad when even ice cream can't keep quiet about how horrific the UK is right now

Junior doctors in England will be taking strike action next week Whilst UK media stands by silently the Government is engaged in a shameless campaign to demonize them I will not stand by and watch that happen - here are some actual FACTS

The real risk to patient safety isn't strikes. The real risk is underpaying and overworking NHS staff, resulting in record vacancies and an NHS in crisis. That's why today I joined junior doctors on strike in Coventry, as they fight for fair pay and the future of our NHS.

You qualify as a doctor. You find out that while you've been studying to be a doctor, the NHS wages have significantly stagnated. You look at adverts in English-speaking countries and work out that the NHS provides the lowest income of them all. You leave the NHS. The End

A 90 year old lady I look after with bad vision spent 3 months making this. She doesn't think it's good. I think it's amazing and full of character. Let's show her how good it is...

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat.
