A bit (extremely) fed up of the superficial & glib discourse about wellbeing.
The medical work force are not just cogs in a machine that need a regular oiling with a “well-being” token gesture.
We are real people who are genuinely struggling. (1/4)
Being inclusive to trans/non binary people does not need/warrant/excuse the complete dehumanisation of women and erasure of womanhood.
And if it does. Then the same should apply to men and manhood.
Our new issue is here! On the cover—'Periods on display' and the cultural movement against menstrual shame and #PeriodPoverty.
Plus, @WHO air quality guidelines, low #BackPain management, community-acquired bacterial #meningitis, and more. Read: hubs.li/H0Y33_L0
ALT Historically, the anatomy and physiology of bodies with vaginas have been neglected.

General rule of thumb:
If you’re answering a bleep from the mess, spare us all the sass.
Rude. Someone got a QIP poster presentation somewhere for it. #wellbeing

It is a complete disgrace that pharmacy staff WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE FRONTLINE ALL THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC are not eligible for free flu vaccinations. Are they dispensable? You would soon know if they weren’t there. #disgrace
I’ve managed to make the perfect coffee and now don’t want it to end.
If you have a Nespresso:
Oat milk double shot latte with
1 x Napoli
1 x Cocoa Truffle
Short staffed on PTWR, consultant doesn’t allow anyone to peel off to do a job e.g request a scan. Round ends at 2. Consultant presses he would like all jobs done today. Consultant throws in a “make sure you get lunch”, consultant then walks off & WhatsApps more jobs.

Yes I realise there’s a lot to learn on a round. But this has to be balanced with:
1) patient’s needs
2) team’s need to have breaks and leave on time
Patient didn’t get scan because once vetted the scanner schedule was full. We got rushed lunch at desk and left 2 hours late.

Sickening but not surprising.

COVID ECMO referrals have rocketed the last few days.
All unvacc. We haven’t had vaccinated ECMO patient ever. If pregnant & unvaccinated, please please discuss COVID vacc with your Obs/midwife urgently. Vaccination is the only way out of this. @NHSEngland @MidwivesRCM @RCObsGyn
Right guys.
ED is drowning and doing all the work.
I therefore appeal to all Med SpRs to please step out of the mess and pull your weight.
Specialties cannot expect ED to do all the work when we are drowning. There should def be more triage straight to specialty. If you don’t think it is your speciality, see the patient and refer on. It is better for good patient care and flow. #medtwitter
So I’m always very open about my utter lack of knowledge re: teeth. But every dentist I know has written an antibiotic prescription for a friend with an URTI.

I literally don't care what temperature you want, what part of the oven, or what cooking time. You're going on top at 200°C and I'll check on your wellbeing in 20 minutes.
So all of you who spent today on MS Teams inductions should get a round of drinks in for those of us who were on call today.
