So I finished an ICU shift. Things are SO much worse than before. I’m most sad at how hardened I am to it. I saw so much tragedy in a 13 hour shift and it’s just normal now.

@tfl was supporting a medical emergency on a tube platform last night. The attitude of one of your workers was disgusting. She did not believe I was a doctor, presumably as I’m a young Black woman, and insisted I show ID. Cont/

Also- a white male OT was present and all staff (and paramedics!!!) continued to defer to him for information/decisions, despite me being the ALS trained medical doctor. He didn’t correct them. He wasn’t asked for ID. Being a Black woman is exhausting.

She pressured me to move an unconscious pt post fall, and when I firmly stated this was not to be done she shouted at me and told me my tone was inappropriate. I assure you that my tone was appropriate for ensuring a person with a collapse and loss of conscious wasn’t moved.

I’ve been a bystander at multiple emergencies over my 8 years as a doctor. Post emergency you’re asked to provide contact details/GMC no etc. To be asked mid emergency for formal ID was inappropriate, disrespectful to me and unsafe for the patient .

All your unsolicited advice is insulting. I’m not an idiot. I know what a locum is. The strike fund is not gonna cover this sort of jump in bills (£50 a day!). Also a lot of you are wreaking of entitlement. If you can’t imagine being in my position, you’re privileged.
