16:Wanted to be a doctor
26:Finished med school
28:Started core training
The career means I…
- Delay having kids
- Quit hobbies
- Miss many personal events
- Constantly work on exams+applications
Only to be told by some a 2 year PG degree is fine instead
Make it make sense

Evidence for replacing doctors with advanced practitioners remains weak, and increased use of Advanced Clinical Practitioners to replace doctors could be detrimental to patients, says review.

International law is clear: hospitals must be protected. Period.
An Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza overnight Wednesday killed at least six people, including a doctor and a child, Palestinian officials say. cnn.it/4C4rr26

The richest people on Earth have convinced millions of broke assholes that the greatest threat to their prosperity is someone even poorer getting a free lunch.

When a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, it's a war crime.
When a missile hits a hospital in Gaza, it's self-defense.
When a missile hits a hospital in Lebanon, it's security threat.
When a missile hits a hospital in Iran, it's pre-emptive strike.
Bombing a hospital is a war crime everywhere.

Last night British surgeon Dr Gopher Rahbour explained to Sky News that he was operating alongside his Palestinian colleague Dr Rizq Abu Shaira at Nasser hospital in Gaza just hours before Israel killed him

For Palestinians in Gaza, losing a tent means more than losing a shelter. It means spending thousands of dollars they can barely afford to replace.
As Israel destroys many displaced Palestinians’ last remaining belongings, the cost of surviving keeps rising.

Helen claims £39,000 a year for her second home in London to put it into perspective that's about double the amount I receive for my disability that's left me paraplegic and in need of 24h care which I pay for so please continue

My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen.
Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure."
Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

This is a full-throated attack on sick and disabled people by Labour.
Burnham's Labour are no different in substance to Starmer's government, or even the Tories before him.
We must fight this all the way.

Interviewer: "Sorry to interrupt.. the Israeli military says it was targeting Hamas terrorists.."
British surgeon Dr Gopher Rahbour says he hasn't seen any Hamas at Nasser hospital but he does see the horrendous conditions people are living in
Interviewer: "We're short of time"
David Urwin retweeted
We are appalled and outraged by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital in Gaza, Palestine, last night. We have already treated three people injured in the attack.
It is unconscionable that patients and medical staff are once again being killed and injured inside a hospital, a place where lives should be saved, not taken.
We urge world leaders to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza. The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity.
