In one GP clinic I see pts who are wealthy & pts who are homeless. Working in the NHS allows me to manage them in EXACTLY the same way Same tests, same treatment, same referral. Whatever is right for THEM. We must never allow that to be taken away!

It’s over. Any control over Covid we had is over. Duty doctor today. I’ve lost count of the number of patients I’ve seen with classic Covid symptoms NOT A SINGLE PERSON has isolated or done a PCR test. Everyone’s mixing & infecting each other. There is no control. It’s over.

I’ve been a doctor in the NHS for over 10 years. I’ve never doubted for a second that if I/ a loved one was sick we’d be taken care of in the best way possible. But now, for the first time, I don’t see that & it’s terrifying. Our NHS has collapsed, by political CHOICE.

Just finishing an A&E shift from hell Yesterday had an oncall GP shift from hell Everyone is working beyond their max. It’s not physically possible to work quicker. But it’s not enough. The NHS isn’t at RISK of collapse. From where I’m standing, we’re already there

Enough is enough. Today one of our reception team was subjected to angry abuse by a patient who genuinely believed this completely false headline & called us all ‘baby killers’. When, yes when not if, someone gets hurt, it will be on your head @DailyMailUK . 😞

FINALLY!! The GP practice I locum in has brought back mask mandates for all staff and patients. And so far, not a single complaint! Such a relief to feel more protected 🙏

My littlest is poorly with a stomach bug & keeps saying “I feel sad”😢 The elder one just cuddled him on his lap & said “remember the Mr Men books all have happy endings? You’re just Mr Ill in the middle of the book & I promise you’ll be happy again in a few more pages!” 😭❤️

If a few years ago I saw a massive queue of ambulances outside A&E, I would’ve assumed there had been a one-off critical disaster. Now, it’s the norm to see this before almost every shift. This is not & should never be normal!!

@MichaelMackley It is vital to teach how the same disease can look different on light and dark skin tones. It is stark how varied it can be. If this is not incorporated into training it could lead to diagnostic delay and ultimately poorer outcomes for those with darker skin. @BrwnSkinMatters

This is madness! How am I meant to look after my Covid patients if I can’t test them?! Many patients can’t afford to buy Covid tests now If you want us to ‘live with this virus’ then allow us to care for our patients with it. How can we do that if we can’t even diagnose them?!

Starting my A&E shift & seeing exhausted patients that have been waiting for inpatient ward beds for hours already. I know when I finish my shift, they’ll still be waiting. There are simply no beds. We CANNOT accept this as the new normal.

Anyone else flinch every time Boris Johnson says “I’m doing everything I can to support the NHS”?! You’re doing nothing & you know it. Every patient who’s had their surgery delayed, clinic appt cancelled, waited hours for an ambulance…. is because YOU failed the NHS.

@keithgrimes Fully understand that & I would have happily let him have my leg space if he had been polite about it. He just had such an awful attitude & claimed my space as if he was simply entitled to it.

Had a 4th Year Medical student with me today He was fantastic- exactly at the level I’d expect for his stage But in no way capable of running a clinic independently…he’d be aghast even at the suggestion! The fact we have PAs with HALF his training running clinics in the NHS…

My Dad drove OVER AN HOUR just to deliver 2 boxes of mangoes to me?! All because my kid had said “Nana, I loved the mangoes at your house!” on the phone last night ♥️🥺

Kids are seriously the best! Doing my F2F list in GP & a little boy just walked in with his hands cupped… Initially I thought 🕷 😬 But…he had trapped a bit of sunshine in his hands because I probably won’t have seen the sun today, so he brought me some! 😭🥺❤️

Just been called a “drama queen” for wearing a mask in public…. Well, if wearing a mask makes me a drama queen then hand me my crown 👑
