Can’t believe 1 year ago I played a piano concerto with the London Doctors’ Orchestra! It still is the best and proudest moment of my life 😀😍Just shows that with hard work, determination, perseverance, and a little bit of luck you can achieve anything in life #dreamcometrue

Absolutely brilliant from @LisaRosenbaum17 - a fantastic piece capturing the voices of doctors in training today and those that train and support them. Also resonating with the current strike here in UK. A must read for both trainees and consultants https://t.co/R9jm1k3QrS

What’s driving the growing movement toward unionization of medical trainees? Can unions meaningfully address trainees’ concerns? And what’s at stake in the process?

Managing the birth of a premature baby so a new mum with a terminal illness can have skin to skin cuddles at birth…sometimes when you feel like you’ve done the least ”doctoring” is the time you feel like you’ve made the most difference #teampaeds #bestjob

It had been on my reading list ever since it was published 3 years ago, but have finally bought and read @houghhough‘s amazing book of reflections. Such wisdom from such an incredible person and feel totally inspired to be as good a writer thinker, pianist, and human as he is

In an average 19 days in America - the time between the mass shootings in Buffalo and Tulsa - 2,348 people die from gun violence. Every gun death is preventable, and every one of their names and stories should be known.
