Want to book a nice holiday for ~5 days this autumn in October/November time as a nice break. Any recommendations? I want good food, nice weather (not too hot), nice & interesting sights to see. Think I want to visit somewhere I haven’t been yet.

Had my first cry at work earlier this week. Thankfully the team I was working with were all super nice 🥰. (But just a gentle reminder to others to remember that us FY1s are still finding our feet… we’ve only been in the job for 1 month!).

One of my biggest pet peeves about being a doctor is the times you get bleeped & you respond immediately, but nobody picks up the phone on the other end. Like, where did you go in those 5 seconds it took me to dial? 🥲😭.

The one thing Americans do well is making tablets that don’t taste absolutely minging. My UK prescription meds = powdery chemically gross taste that hits the back of your throat & makes you gag. The omeprazole I bought in Target = ✨🍓🫐wild berry flavour🫐🍓✨.

I’ve been working as a doctor for a month now. Yet still whenever I hear ‘we need a doctor to review/do XYZ /[insert other dr job]’. I always have a moment where I look around expectantly for a doctor to appear. Before I’m like ‘oh wait that’s me’

Ideally we should not feel *scared* of asking for the support & adjustments we need. But the taboo around being both a doctor *and* a patient is still very present. I’m proud to be a disabled doctor. & i think it’s important the medical profession has disabled/ND staff. /4.

Or. b) are desperately looking for advice with how to go about getting adjustments, how to cope with the working/studying alongside maintaining their own health, & asking advice on when/how to disclose their needs /3.

I’m a doctor who is open about being disabled, & Ive been open for my entire medical school career. I regularly receive messages from doctors who either. a) are surprised to find another disabled doctor who is open about being disabled/neurodivergent they can relate to /2.

There’s still such stigma around being a disabled doctor, still discrimination, still fighting to get the appropriate adjustments to enable us to do our jobs. It’s not surprising most don’t feel able to open up about their disabilities /1

“I’m genuinely at a point where I’m considering leaving medicine… if I walk away, who will be left to advocate for other doctors like me?" . Our survey revealed 100s of disabled and neurodivergent doctors are considering leaving the workforce due to lack of support.

Did the BMA specialty explorer for the 1st time in a few years to see what they recommend me (& it’s interesting to compare how my priorities change as I progress in my career). Have to say I’m not surprised that things like psych, geriatrics, GP all appear so high up 😅🩺👩🏻‍⚕️
