GP, mom of boys plus boy dog, cannot bear ignorance, greed or social injustice, doing my best but probably failing miserably 😅. Opinions expressed are my own.

Report finds postcode divide in survival rates for many cancers. Yet again, the Mid-West is at the bottom of the table. Not good enough @SimonHarrisTD @NiallCollinsTD @DonnellyStephen independent.ie/irish-news/he…

Maybe then, all newly qualified doctors will understand the medical system as a whole instead of the worst 5-10% that they see in the hospitals and have equal respect for GP colleagues.
ICGP calls for 25% of Medical Undergraduate Teaching to be based in General Practice….

This is utterly unacceptable. Interns work stupid hours doing all the medical grunt work. Problems with pay happen at EVERY job changeover (ie every 3-6months) in some hospitals. And have done since before I graduated 20yrs ago. I think they get a kick out of it.

One thing for responsible sane adult to own a gun (after medical and background checks with appropriate license) but do none of these people have an issue with small children being in these photos with dozens of guns? Easy to see why these shootings happen.

This guy should be utterly ashamed of his misogyny, his racism & his willingness 2 stand up & talk about a subject he has clearly never read a word about. google.com/amp/s/www.vanityf…
Goes to show, no matter the vulnerability, there will always be some sicko to exploit it.

We need to call this kind of casual threat of violence out. A man with that kind of attitude won't think twice.

And the doctor bashing begins!"Look how well paid they are" instead of "OMG, how many hours of overtime did those poor people have to work, and why?" #StandUp4NCHDs m.independent.ie/news/four-j…

Interesting. Puts a bit of a new slant on it, as if we needed another one... when America puts PEOPLE first, all people, rich, poor, sick, disabled, immigrant and citizen, then and only then will America be great.

Hear hear #supportourNCHDs
NCHDs have, for too long, been expected to work unsafe hours - putting patients and themselves at risk. Enough is enough.

What that tells me is that management/managerial ethos never changed. So going back to regional health boards (which were in place 30 years ago) isnt going to change anything. The rot is deeply rooted.

No call for that. Cop on people! Isolation means isolation! Now, not after you've stocked up on supplies.
And in the midst of this local ADHD adult service in Limerick has no consultant and the general psychiatrists are refusing to see those ageing out of CAMHS/new ADHD patients leaving GPs in the soup again! irishtimes.com/news/health/w…

If you think you need a boost of vitamins, consult your GP or pharmacist. This is NOT a service a retailer should be providing. If is unsafe, ridiculously expensive and 99% of the time will be wholly unnecessary.

These are excellent points that I think GPs in particular use to help decision making. Unlike hospital doctors, we don't have the luxury of having a myriad of tests at our fingertips and rely mostly on a good basic history and exam which is a dying art form.
I did my junior medicine late 1980s severe cutbacks in Irish Healthcare - in hospitals budgets so tight consultants had to be rung to OK routine on call blood tests - they were on a 1:2 #healthcareheroes - these 5 questions ingrained into our 80-90 hr weekly existence
Same here in Ireland. I waste hours every week doing referrals to different specialties, at least 25% do not attend. Booked a locum nurse last week as my nurse sick. Patients told only day available, several didn't show for appointments and didn't bother phoning to cancel.

Just watched #ThisIsGoingToHurt . Flashbacks to my own training as an NCHD. The nauseating exhaustion, the urge to snap at people, wanting to teach/be taught while trying not to be singled out by the consultant, the lack of facilities/time to clean properly after incidents
Thankfully they got reasonably long sentences. Hopefully they got to the child early enough.
