It is heartbreaking to have a consultant colleague in tears on the phone for an hour because they are being bullied and harassed by another consultant. They are telling me they have nothing leftโฆ a nobody. This is totally sick. Where is RESPECT๐

I ask all consultants who are covering during the strike to reflect and react to the conditions offered to residents in our hospitals - e.g food, water, rest and sleep - Is the hospital attending to basic needs?

Enjoying the PAR Aorta Course - the FY2 and CT and ST1 trainees told me that they are left on the wards to do admin and that they felt second class to ANPโs who took almost all the surgical procedures. THIS IS NOT TRAINING THE FUTURE

Our future surgeons must be given protected training opportunities in theatre and not displaced by ANPโs. Our future surgeons are not ward administrators only. It is time to professionalise training ๐
Professional athletes, musicians etc. train hard between the events in order to achieve a flawless execution and performance. So must do a surgeon! โRepetita Iuvantโ. Perfect stitching from BBASS follower. ๐๐
