John Wick - A retired medical consultant brought back, as demand soars in the NHS, just when he thought he was out. 🧵 1/12

“First, can you fill in this 30 page HR form and see Occupational health exactly between 10.10 and 10.12am on a Friday? 2/12

“Thanks for that, now you need to do the mandatory modules in your own time on the weekend, don’t forget fire safety and Prevent!” 3/12

“OK, thanks doc. But it will be a month before you get your rota. But turn up at this random ward at 8am.” WHY? WHY? WHY? 4/12

Turns up Monday morning in the COVID ward, “OK Dr Wick, here is your PPE - an apron, a mask, and do you want large or extra large gloves?” 5/12

“By the way, your first patient doesn’t believe in vaccines.” 6/12

“Thanks, now the new FY1 needs help with cannulation, the rest of the team are on mandatory study day. What do you need?” 7/12

“Much appreciated, shall we continue the rest of the ward round, lots of patients left?” 8/12

“OK, it’s the afternoon, time for clinic. We’ve had to overbook patients, notes are missing for some of them and here are the log ins for the 20 different computer systems you need.”9/12

“Thanks for coming back Dr Wick, how was your day?” 10/12

“Now, I am just off to the car park to get my car and collect my dog after that.” “Hmm…about that…” 11/12

“WTF…” To be continued…. 12/12
