A late friend of mine, Alex Paton, was a medical student at the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. Lots of lessons in his narrative about refeeding syndrome, noma, etc. Fewer kids though than in Gaza. Anne Frank had already died.
"Once this tipping point is passed, famines tend to follow a catastrophically self-reinforcing pattern, already visible in #Gaza. A slow creep of death yields to mass mortality as organs fail, immune systems collapse and victims lose the will to go on."
Reflection from a decade of working in many national organisations: Most of the NHS leadership and politicians generally see Doctors as an irritant. A hassle in the path of amazing progress. Unless you change that viewpoint? You will not have much happiness in the medical…

Has anyone managed to ask @wesstreeting directly on live tv why newly qualified physician Assistants are paid £10k more than newly qualified resident Drs ?
If only Wes and previous health secretaries had paid Doctors a better salary to begin with, we would have the staff available to prevent people waiting 18months Hopefully with pay restoration we can encourage Drs to stay in the NHS and reduce waiting times 💪
Thank you to the #doctorsstrike for cancelling my elderly mums appointment tomorrow - she’s been waiting 18 months in agony and unable to walk. Is it in your code of ethics for her to be lying in pain until the new appt in February? I’d sack the lot of you. Disgraceful.
@wesstreeting you’re paying newly qualified assistants to doctors (PAs, who no matter their seniority function at a lower level than F1 doctors) £24.50ph You’re funding PA courses and giving them bursaries. But you’re calling F1 doctors greedy for asking for £22ph? 1/
Quite the opposite actually, I think most people will be shocked that doctors are only earning £19 per hour. And doctors know that. Hence why they've gone for those banners. That's less than £7 an hour more than minimum wage, for doctors.
Could this be the most Irish holiday picture ever?
PLEASE BE HONEST WITH THE PUBLIC @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting May be 1000 but certainly not 2000, many are in ARRS roles which are not adding substantial patient benefit & consult rates are not up 3000 about to enter workforce with limited jobs available gponline.com/opaque-gp-work…
We promised 1,000 more GPs this year. We've delivered double that. 2,000 new GPs hired — delivering millions more appointments and making sure the NHS is there for everyone, whenever they need it. Our Plan for Change in action.
The free food @wesstreeting is promising Resident Doctors.

‘Medical Model’ a non-defined term that has nothing to do with ‘medical education or training’ Adopted 20yrs ago from the USA by a group of Physician Assistants to describe their training, that wasn’t medical education It’s been cut & pasted ever since without definition or fact
How did I get through the entirety of undergraduate and postgraduate medical training without hearing about ‘the medical model’? It’s just a word salad used to excuse poorly trained & expensive pseudo-doctors replacements doing work that should be done by doctors.
Soprano foghorns. People who play everything loud on flutes and clarinets.
Also she did not comment on the hundreds of cases of harm reported to her, nor issues like the Alder Hey child abuse scandal, or academic misconduct that have been shown to have happened. This was a very PA friendly review.
Partha Kar, a Royal College of Physicians councillor, says that he will appeal the college’s “disproportionate” decision to suspend his registration over what he claims was “whistleblowing” bmj.com/content/390/bm…
Feeling stressed today. I think it is probably sensory overload from some people who don't have any team skills. Just doing their own thing and making a lot of noise.
They were perfectly happy to play doctor without a medical degree without a second’s thought
I have some sympathy with them. But remember none of them have spoken out against the illegal behaviour, cover ups, academic malpractice and data manipulation, and things like the Alder Hey child abuse scandal. Every time I feel bad for them I remember these things.
This is my issue. I can’t think of a single PA that bought into the fore how unsafe it all was, or how they didn’t feel they should be seeing undifferentiated PTs. I believe the official line was “if for a doctor, why not for a PA”
