When I was a junior doctor I wasn’t paid well, but I accepted I was an ‘apprentice’ and thus couldn’t expect a massive salary.
Our junior colleagues need to realise that they are simply doctors in training whose priority should be their patients not income.

- As a Scot living in England I can say two things in response to this… 1) This bile is not reciprocated down south, our fellow Brits look to our national team with fondness and support. 2) This rag does not speak for most decent Scots who distance themself from this vitriol.Tomorrow's front page 🗞️ Our message to Spain ahead of Euro 2024 final 👀👇
- I think that @ladygaga may be one of most talented women on this planet… 😍 #ChromaticaBallLondon #ChromaticaBall #CHROMATICA
00:00 - So #harry claims to have killed 25 insurgents while on tour in Afghanistan, surely this has to be the final straw? No decent soldier would ever use their horrific operational experiences to make a fast buck. This has to be a new low for even him? #SpareUs #SparebyPrinceHarry
- Did #peston just ask @NicolaSturgeon if she plans to bring in the army?? She doesn’t have an Army!! 🤣 Let’s remember she is simply the leader of a devolved administration...!! Army 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
- Public sector workforce will have to shrink @ShonaRobison I have an idea… How about closing all those pretend embassies you’ve created and maybe stop employing civil servants to work on tearing up the nation… Oh and stop the foreign trips?
- I completely forgot that @scotgov decided to rename the UKs ‘Test & Trace’ to ‘Test & Protect’ north of the border… If that’s not being different for difference sake then what is?? 🤦🏼♂️ #CovidInquiry
- Let’s be clear here… Not only did @MathesonMichael try and defraud the taxpayer of this money a) He would never have paid it back had he not been rumbled And b) He had the full backing of the FM @HumzaYousaf throughout the process Where is the honour and accountability?BREAKING: Michael Matheson breached code of conduct over iPad bill bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
- As a fellow clinician I would like to ask @jasonleitch what gives him the moral authority to tell Scots not to cross the ‘border’ into England this evening or anytime? We are doctors (dentists) and our role is advise on health matters, this man seems to have forgotten that. 😏
- Replying to @DrJCraneBatmanYou can use the word Restoration until you are blue in the face. All the British Public see is the word Greed. I repeat, they are doctors in training and are in post to repay the nation/NHS for the time invested in them to obtain the basic level of competency they have achieved
- As ridiculous as this sounds… I am so angry with a man I have never met for what he is doing to a family I have never met that I can’t bring myself to watch #HarryTheInterview What kind of man throws his family under a bus in such way?? 😡 #Harry #SpareUsHarry
- Absolutely amazed to read how @theSNP can justify not voting for the #brexitdeal in parliament this week. It would seem that @NicolaSturgeon and @Ianblackford_MP have done a Brexit u-turn in a matter of hours. 🤷🏻♂️ #NoDealNicola
