You’re not lazy, you’re overwhelmed. You’re not antisocial, you’re drained. You’re not broken, you’re trying to survive in a system built to burn you out.

Was recently invited to YouTube HQ in London, the @wearfigs team was also present, who kindly provided us with embroidered scrubs - even as a GP I’ll be able to use, as I often wear them in clinic
The best part…dedicated pen pocket!! (I’m sure pens in clinic have legs!!! 🖊️ 💨

Ok. It’s official. Doctors have fans. I may have fan boyed a *little* today
I met Dr Hilary Jones - and was able to SHAKE. HIS. HAND!
Although I perhaps didn’t ingratiate myself too well, by saying “I’ve been watching you on GMT since I was at school!!!”

So after having a 14 month old with bronchiolitis - it’s really clarified things in my mind
There is a lot of info out there, but in summary:
“It will go away on it’s , unless it gets worse… then they need oxygen and going to hospital - oh, and there isn’t anything you can do to change that” 😒

I went to see my patient on #EOLcare & saw that the nurse had encased his hands in warm water-filled gloves, to simulate human touch (his family was not able to be there). Below is a googled picture. This kind of compassion is not taught in school. My heart is full. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social
