This makes me so sad!! #Maternal had the best dialogue and portrayed female doctors brilliantly ‘Have you ever attended an assertiveness course?’ ‘What makes you think I’m not assertive? Is there a course for arrogant pricks who can’t take instructions from a woman?’

💔 #Maternal We had a lot more to say. The show needed a high number of viewers for @ITV to sell advertising to break even. Maternal didn’t get that number. It hurts that it ends here but I am incredibly proud of the show, grateful and a bit amazed that we got to do it at all.

Boggles the mind you can spend all shift with all the fancy machines and all the tech and at handover still worry your scrubs are stained and you smell of period blood because the tiny cost to keep emergency period products in staff toilets is just ‘too much’ This issue matters!

One of my favourite things about #LineofDuty was that it had Raj for Cardiac Arrest in it so now we can all imagine what he looks like as a moneybags consultant who actually gets some sleep

It’s 12 quid to the practice to pay the staff and keep the building running to deliver the vaccine. It’s not twelve quid into the GPs pocket. And the practices are doing this on top of their usual work.

Hello, I am an intensive care consultant in a medical drama. I either stand there shouting ‘we’re losing him!’ in melodramatic fashion or am mysteriously absent, while the surgical team of said drama take my place intubating and doing lines.

Hello. I am a barrister in a crime drama. I wander around the courtroom, give impromptu speeches to the jury mid-cross examination and never actually put my case to the witness. It’s wonder the judge doesn’t throw his gavel at me.

❤️ this letter. But what a shame we can’t prepare our young women to enter adult life able to speak up equally to young men without being seen as ‘too confident for their own good’ This bias against ‘confident’ women persists in medical training and beyond
