Every now and then I just remember Mel Brooks’ reaction to the One Show.

went to get scrubs today and they only had XXXL remaining - I asked if they had any smaller sizes and was told ‘it’s not a fashion show, love’ (which as a word always grinds my gears!) no, it’s not, but this is me in small scrubs (smallest offered) still showing off my bra

why don’t scrubs fit women? like women have been doctors for longer than scrubs have existed and yet none of them are sized with women in mind! It’s embarrassing to flash your patients and too hot on the wards to wear an under top at the moment

surely there is a solution? design scrubs that fit women and make them commonplace in the NHS preferably - and include women in this roll out because the last thing we need is men trying to guess what we need - any woman who has ever had a man guess their size / weight knows this

Jane Lynch seeing Gwendoline Christie. She's just like me for real 😭

What can we learn from the death of the #Queen? The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named. Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying. A 🧵... 1/

I keep thinking of this. I think every woman of colour in Britain knows this expression, the way it is deployed and the racist meangirling that it signifies. We see it in offices, pubs, nights out, classrooms, academic conferences, department meetings….

Also worth noting that - in my experience at least - junior doctors are far more likely to be bullied by permanent ward staff if they are female. We need to call out the misogyny that underlies so much of this behaviour.

What does it cost a Junior Doctor to complete the exams needed to become a Consultant? Medical Specialities £2227 Surgical Specialities £3529 GP £1546 Paediatrics £2023 Obstetrics and Gynaecology £1609 Radiology £1343 Emergency Medicine £1925 Psychiatry £1579 You're welcome

I know it’s the 0445 delirium setting in but I cannot stop laughing at this

This this this this this this this this this this

Wow those are some numbers eh?

Spot the female consultant surgeon.. Yup, they’re the only one that’s been #untitled and had their name written out in full. I’m sure we can do better in 2023. #everydaysexism

Otis says “Pay Restoration now!” #petsonthepickets #bma #JuniorDoctorsStrike #PayRestoration

I passed the final FRCA viva!!! I failed it by one mark in December, and not gonna lie, as a Type A Eldest Daughter, I didn’t take it well. So this just feels EVEN BETTER. NO MORE EXAMS #FRCA

FRCA done. Not so much a day of celebration but more a day of remembrance of how much it takes from people. Far more than it gives back.
