I wanted to make a smart remark about how things haven't changed since I left but there's no point.

Until Irish Medical Organisation get themselves in gear properly there'll be no meaningful change and more and more doctors like myself will give up on the profession.

I'm a simple (ex) medic.

I see measles cases growing and vaccine conspiracies, I respond with Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for any human being who voluntarily inflicts that condition on their own children or the children of others.

Ah the record breaking trolley numbers in winter. Hello old friends.

Amazing how all these years after graduating there has been absolutely fuck all improvement. Outstanding really.

Leaving the HSE felt like escaping Shawshank.

Spending my evening reading up about continence care, a real issue for many. I was told of a recent experience where a person requested some pads. They were assessed by a public health nurse in the home and given pads.

For example, how's that centralised payroll system coming along HSE Ireland?

Out of interest, after the last ballot in 2022 was overwhelmingly in support of industrial action leading to an agreement with the HSE on conditions etc, has anyone noticed any sort of substantial improvement?

No point reballoting if you're going to fall for empty promises again

Just over a year ago a 16 year old died after lying in ED in UCHL for over 10 hours of no active management.

HSE had 1 consultant and 3 NCHDs trying to care for over 250 acute cases

Quit virtue signalling and fix your HR issues folks 🙄😔

Ever wondered what all the management consultants in HSE Ireland actually do?

The beginnings of an answer here :-

Amazing what not working winters in the health service does for your mental health.

Actually looking forward to Christmas.

I'd suggest striking but the HSE and Government could introduce a policy of publicly beating NCHDs and the response would be a strongly worded letter.
