Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one. Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

Next time the BBC tries to prosecute someone for not paying the TV license the defendant should just tell the judge all about their difficult childhood, their complex personality, & the lifelong damage they have experienced because they didn't get into Oxford.

#BAPM24 NICU graduates on PICU. 50% <2year olds on PICU were on NICU. 72% admitted within 100 days of discharge from NiCU. That’s quite a burden to consider

Why isn't the murder of an 80yr old innocent man, murdered by kids trending? I know the answer and so do the majority of you.

This e-mail caused much indignation over the weekend. If its author is aware of it, they're probably genuinely perplexed. It's also quite timely as I've been advocating against this sort of thing recently. I think it deserves a 🧵1/10
The state of training programmes nowadays. I suppose it’s training you for when you’re an ST5 writing discharge summaries.

Just come home to a letter from the NHS threatening me, a type 1 diabetic (incurable), saying I might be fraudulently claiming free prescriptions and that they're going to send me a £100 penalty if I don't respond within three weeks. I hate this country.

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour. And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour. It's hard not to see the lie. RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

10 years ago the NHS was scored by experts to be the best health system in the world. Today it ranks as worst in Europe. Tory rule for you.
