A friend of mine (won't name or suggest hosp/grade/anything identifiable) received this HR response when asking for cover. Their grandmother was dying and they wanted to be by their bedside. This is what forces great (as they are) doctors out of the NHS. #MedTwitter

I'm an Fy1 on a community job. This month I got paid £1650, I live in NE London, my rent is £1100, cost of MRCP (an exam needed for progression) was £448. You do the math. We will never succeed in improving working conditions if seniors continue with this sanctimonious BS

#MedTwitter am I the only one that sees staying 7 hours past end of shift, into middle of the night, as a bad thing? Opportunities to learn should be provided in hours, not at the expense of sleep/life. The whole push yourself until bust that medicine encourages is pathological
