Preparing for #asco23 & absolutely LOVE @asco's language of respect towards both patients AND colleagues * do not blame patients * do not dehumanize or conflate them with their diagnosis/tumor type * acknowledge cancer isn't always preventable * address & recognize peers equally

Living trapped in your own body, constantly depending on people fulfill your needs , which they begrudgingly do with exasperated sighs , is quite literally a level of hell I wouldn't wish on anyone. Youre hungry, you cant get it yourself but nobody else wants to get you food. So you just lay there. Too hungry to sleep. Too disabled to go get food. Tethered to oxygen cords too short to reach, knowing you're a fall risk, knowing the kitchen is 7 stairs and 15 steps away but may as well be everest. And then asking and facing the backlash and the anger

I’m just going to say it because it needs to be said: David McWilliams is the most potent establishment propagandist in Ireland He’s uniquely capable of side-stepping or ignoring inconvenient stories, but above all is a world class communicator & that’s what makes him so lethal

Thank you @DanielTMurray @businessposthq for repeatedly highlighting the impact current insurance industry practice is having on cancer survivors. Today’s announcement is a step in the right direction
Following a number of stories by @businessposthq on cancer survivors being denied equal access to insurance cover, Insurance Ireland is announcing a new code of practice giving survivors the right to be forgotten. A great move by the industry, but still a voluntary code

My take home pay for March is £1817, deducting the strike days. (40 hours/week, no out-of-hours work). I am an FY2 doctor. I spent 6 years at university. I have £77,162 student debt. I pay GMC fees. My exams in training will cost ~£2000. #JuniorDoctorsStrike
11-15 April will be the next round of Junior Doctors strike action in England.   The Government is still refusing to make a credible offer - or any offer at all - to resolve our dispute. Read more: bma.org.uk/juniorspay

Over the last few weeks I've watched with interest as the usual lines are trotted out by some in both Irish society and media. The typical "force NCHDs to stay in Ireland" line of thinking. It speaks so much about the person who suggests it.

I am definitely failing the 'God' bit of being a consultant and I am held accountable for everything, from the waiting room to the ED, to the wards, to the parking. Feel free to come walk a mile in my shoes if you want to address your fixed beliefs and biases.
