@LeanneHPatrick @GaryNosam @Advclin @cannula_service "We accept, working in the NHS, that we aren't earning private salaries in order to keep the service sustainable." Speak for yourself. I'm a cog in a machine. I don't offer myself up as sacrifice for the NHS ideals. Maintaining the NHS is the role of voters and politicians

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @TomStocks1982 @drphiliplee1 I'm not sure there's much difference between the two of you if that's the charge being levelled. Twitter seems to be 90% clout chasing through controversy and 9% just flat out saying "follow me for some obscure reason that's totally not just so I can feel that Dopamine hit"

@running4rights @Dr_BellaR That's not at all how it works and making out that it's a matter of Staff "decency" shows a complete disregard for the pressure those staff work in. What on earth about extended waits makes you think "Oh they must have a stash of beds to dish out if only they wanted to"

@Parody_RCGP Hypothetically, if Maggie is correct and she's outing someone who is in fact using a diagnosis as a method of gaining attention and clout then their actions are entirely appropriate and noble. It's a risky gamble to put their professional name to it without significant evidence

The obsession with job titles on UK #MedTwitter is more a reflection on how helpless the medical profession is in creating any change of substance. Instead they obsess over pointless details to try and claim a win
