I am a doctor in the #NHS.
Every scrap of evidence I’ve seen points to total disaster if #NoDealBrexit comes to pass. We must #StopBrexit - here is why. /thread
Thus far I’ve tried to focus solely on the facts, and the facts alone. Informed consent is the bedrock of medicine- I don’t believe anyone knew the consequences of leaving EURATOM or the EMA for example when they voted. Feel free to prove otherwise. /1
It’s not my job to tell people what to do. And I am not. If you still think Leaving with No Deal will be good for the NHS after absorbing all of the above, then that is your decision. You are wrong, but it’s your right to be wrong. /2

Another tragic and unnecessary death. I think every junior doctor in today’s NHS can empathise. We’ve all been there, to some degree. Myself included. This is what it’s like. /thread

birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
I’m a “junior” doctor. I’ve been a doctor for six years, in training for twelve years. There are four levels, from newest to most senior: F1 (first year). Senior House officer (1-3 years), Registrar (1-5 years). I am a Registrar. /1
The hardest parts of our jobs are not usually the textbook bits: it’s all of the other bits that keep me up at night. /2

#Jacksonville happens and it’s time to re-hash the same gun facts to counter the same arguments and expect the same absence of action. Here they are anyway. /thread
“Criminals don’t pay attention to gun laws”. Except where do they get guns from in the first place? >300,000 guns are stolen every year. Reducing the availability of guns, especially assault rifles, protects everyone. /2
“We need guns for self-protection”.
You are far more likely as a gun owner to be killed by your own gun than to kill an attacker in self-defence.
Every year >1000 children are injured accidentally by guns, many fatally. /3

Nigel Farage is “back” with this piece in the Telegraph. He’s taken the time to really hone his art of total twaddle to a whole new level. /1
“The political class in Westminster.” ...is literally you - you’ve been in frontline politics for 25 years and an MEP for 19 yrs, with one of the worst voting records in the European Parliament.
google.com/amp/s/www.dail…
“Their media allies”- this is you. You do more media than politics, even though you’re supposed to be an MEP. you have your own @LBC radio show, Fox News, Question Time (!). Not to mention Bannon, Breitbart, Fox News. You’re writing IN the Telegraph. google.com/amp/s/uk.news.…

Now we are down to name-calling, and still no safe or sensible plan. Is it a #disgrace NHS doctors like me are terrified of the impact of a No Deal #Brexit on our patients? 🤔 /thread
Is it a disgrace a No Deal Brexit means we will, even temporarily, be unable to import vital medicine? Like insulin? google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
Perhaps it’s a disgrace that we only make enough insulin in the U.K. for 1-2000 patients, when 400,000 patients need it every year. Is it a disgrace we are having to stockpile medicine like this? channel4.com/news/factcheck…

This is hard watching, but this honestly could’ve been any of us. #IAmHadiza

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Watching this I remember a nearly identical case I was peripherally involved in. A young boy, misdiagnosis, Group A streptococcus sepsis, which lead to his death.
The hospital was overrun, in special measures, with multiple failures in communication. Just like Leicester.
