This crap about the No 10 staff needing a party cos they’d been working quite hard on COVID is really grinding my gears. The staff of the NHS were utterly traumatised, many dying of the infection that they’d contracted whilst caring for patients. They weren’t having parties.

So many of these stories. When I was a medical student, a cardiology senior registrar threw a patient’s blanket at me & said “Fold that. That’s all you’ll be doing as a woman in medicine”. What a prick.
Age 16, on work experience, a male GP gave me a talk ab how at some point I’d want a family and how training women just to have them leave med to have children was a waste of resources.
Fortunately that didn’t put me off, but only w hindsight do I realise how that wasn’t okay..
