I was on a plane and the attendants called overhead for medical help. I went to the front of the plane, got down to eye level and started asking the story when a man comes running up and pushes me out of the way, exclaiming “I’m a doctor!” Um….so am I. 👩‍⚕️#WomenInMedicine

“Let old people get Covid” - for all of us that lost family at this time, I can say politely what a heartless bastard you are Boris. My late Dad was right about the Tories. #CovidInquiry #BorisJohnson

This is the Covid Memorial wall in London. It took me a full 10 minutes to walk its length in 2022. Then, there were 197,635 Covid deaths. Now, there are >230k. Boris Johnson’s unforgivable legacy. Then, we had no power. Now, finally, we do. VOTE 👊

Please read this testimony from ICU Prof ⁦Dr Kevin Fong⁩ at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry⁩ & know that this - this - is what it was truly like. All those despicable Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers & scamdemic artists have blood on their hands & should hang their sorry heads in shame.

I really do worry people have forgotten what Covid-19 was like for NHS staff. I went onto ICU wards and saw it myself. I spoke to staff broken by relentless death. Dr Kevin Fong testimony UK Covid-19 Inquiry needs to be heard:

Morning 😚❤️

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

I wish there were a Nobel prize that could be awarded to Gisele Pelicot.

Spent 18hrs with my 79yo mum yesterday at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS FT - waited 13hrs in the ED & not seen by a dr. Finally sorted in SDEC by a great team. This is not only appalling but dangerous for patient safety NHS NHS Million NHS Midlands #NHS #patientcentredcare
