I don’t engage or amplify with rare exceptions

Why?

“George Bernard Shaw once said, Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig enjoys it,'”

Between now & Tuesday morning I will have been on call for 140 hours as well as covering one hospitals rad service by (1)
(2) by myself. I have AMAZING management in that hospital BUT there are no qualified locums to cover for leave

I am not exceptional

I can name dozens of colleagues in the same boat as myself

Hat tip to @MrTonyMoloney1 & @Dr_RPM

This is our lived experience of trying to keep
(3) our services going, look after our patients in the absence of safe call rosters & manageable workloads

We are like the little Dutch boy with our fingers in the dam

And yes with how we sacrifice our own well being due to our vocational approach we do quietly rage when we
(4) are consistently the bogeyman

Held accountable but not given adequate capacity to meet need

We have had enough

The super juniors was the last straw

We have the lowest numbers of consultants in Europe & the longest waiting lists: it’s time to fix this
