Think I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself as this is the first time I've failed a medical exam since second year of med school. Hope your trainee managed to have the wedding of their dreams in the end!

Also the irony of a psychiatry exam causing me symptomatic performance anxiety has not been lost on me

Gotta love the impact that failing a practical post-grad medical exam has on you. Nervous before the first attempt and now increased anxiety due to added pressure of applying for ST4 jobs without knowing whether I've passed the prerequisite exam + all my mates having passed first time. Delightful!

The government getting involved a private entity's decision which is supported by local police, in order to force them to reverse it just isn't sitting right with me

This is very good

Petition to rename man flu to brovid. Medicine is always evolving after all

Instagram account kobycalvinn replying to me saying "I'm not listening to anything a dirty Indian has to say"

Apparently someone saying this to me on Instagram doesn't violate community guidelines... Racism towards Indians really is just totally dismissed.

Why do governments continually try to make General Practictioners practice anything but medicine?

Gave Labour a chance but I'm done with that party - there's no hope for it

Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

She's a Dame, a literal Dame, and you didn't even put her name in the headline! Shame on you.

Okay so the flags are seemingly getting bigger and are flying closer to the ground and I'm a little more worried about that. Feels both literally and metaphorically more in your face...

There is no doubt that Taylor Swift is bigger globally than the NFL too. Must be so difficult to get what you deserve as a smaller creator

America doesn't get a lot right but their versions of pancakes are just infinitely superior

Here's a bunch of bullshit that I do not believe:
Energy companies saying investing in renewable energy won't lower bills
Anything Trump says
Anything Israel claims
That out current version of capitalism works
If laws are changed that billionaires will leave a country
The NHS is dead

The irony of being contacted a couple days ago by a resident doctor colleague asking when the next strikes were. We haven't been striking since July and not since a whole new cohort of doctors have started their careers. You want us to strike even less? @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

We apparently signed up for a job for life. If so the government needs to actually let us work...

Israel is now officially committing genocide.

This means that the UK is now officially complicit in genocide.

This means that the UK is now officially denying genocide.

So the guy who continues to start new far right political parties organised yesterday's protest and there are people claiming it was only about 'illegal immigration' and that they're fine with people who come here to work and pay taxes. Meanwhile Robinson owes HMRC around £2 million...

Phone companies have packed their products full of useless AI features because we've got to the point now where for 99.9% of the public their smartphone needs can be satisfied for years by processors/RAM accesible for under £300/$350. AI is bloatware designed to slow your phone...

Another round of BMA elections and again not been elected. Really deluded myself into thinking I had a shot at this one 😞

Doctor claims Covid jabs may be linked to cancer in royal family Aseem Malhotra told Reform UK’s party conference that the vaccination was a ‘significant factor’ in the diagnoses of King Charles and the Princess of Wales

Given importance of health to the voting public, it seems politically naive of Nigel Farage and Reform to have their health policy so closely tied to Dr Aseem Malhotra, whose speech today confirms his switch from once respected clinician to conspiracy theorist quack: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Doctor uses Reform conference speech to link king’s cancer to Covid vaccine Aseem Malhotra claimed ‘eminent oncologist’ said jab was ‘significant factor in the cancer of members of royal family’

Hey Guardian you spelled “Well-know crank and conspiracy theorist (who happens to be medically qualified) spouts dangerous bullshit again.” wrong

Just in case anyone doesn't know but the real story coming out of Birmingham this weekend is Kareena Kapoor visiting Soho Road

BBC homepage running a story of Angela Rayner where she is wearing sunglasses

Regardless of what you think regarding Angela Rayner's house purchase - the photo that the BBC have used of her would never have been if she wasn't a woman in government

Resident doctors’ strikes would be gift to Nigel Farage, warns Wes Streeting Exclusive: Labour fighting for survival of NHS, health secretary tells MPs as he prepares to meet BMA

Bloody hell remember when we were accused of 'political strikes' last year? Wes needs to get some perspective if he thinks 'beating the doctors' will help save the NHS

Trying to answer the feedback survey for the @rcpsych.bsky.social International Congress and I'm stuck on this part as a Midlander...

We have written to the Presidents of the Medical Royal Colleges to draw their attention to the staggering revelations over GMC decision-making that came to light in our judicial review.

Oh so not one then, just a movie set during Christmas time. The correct answer 😊

Is die hard a Christmas movie though?
