The part of the NHS people don't see - I'm on annual leave but at home. Called today about a patient who was admitted. I'm now going in to do her operation as I'm the best person to do it. I won't claim any money or time back. This is the best thing for the patient. Full stop.

I'm a consultant gynaecologist and had 2 vaccines & booster, as has my husband. My son had his 1st last week (he had Covid in Sept 21). It is the single most important thing I can do to avoid being admitted to ICU or dying from COVID. And it will protect those I care about most.

Yes, every single patient I see who needs a hysteroscopy, I offer the choice of outpatient or general anaesthetic. I quote that 1 in 3 women have severe pain at OPH. If this option is chosen, consent is reconfirmed throughout the procedure. The patient is in charge at all times.

The Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy THANKS @ProfEmmaCrosbie for offering all her #hysteroscopy patients the CHOICE of a short general anaesthetic & the CHOICE of attempting it in outpatients with the assurance that it wd be immediately stopped if painful. (Podcast - 30')

At the start of a recent on call ward round: Registrar: Dr Busby, would you like to lead the round? Me: No thanks, I've led hundreds, it's time to pass the baton to you guys. I'll support. She did a great job!

@PaulaMc007 I'm certain that no one who hasn't been through this can even contemplate what it is like or how it feels. I'm sorry that you had to experience this. It must surely only add to your pain and hurt.

I was told this week that many junior doctors do Uber driving in their off time to make ends meet. I was incredulous and I can't get it off my mind. Is this true??

@DrBenLovell I forgot how much time junior doctors spend trying to contact other people! Yeah, and the bypassing the SHO and bleeping the Registrar directly. That's new.

@DrGailBusby @Castagnaccio345 It is so sad that members of the public just don’t get what’s happening here-I wish they would do their homework -then they would understand why this strike is happening #SupportOurNHS - it is being destroyed by atrocious working conditions + an arrogant Govt that doesn’t listen

I think I'm going to go part-time. The pensions thing is stressing me out. I've worked so long always full-time, I am also raising a family and it's just constant. I want to be around more for my kids. This time doesn't come back. Anyway, these are my morning thoughts.

@Castagnaccio345 Trust me, this is not my idea of a day off! Thousands of patients are waiting longer due to consultants and doctors leaving the NHS to other countries. I have personally lost several colleagues to the middle east. It's patients we are fighting for...trying to stop the exodus.
