What I have learned since being unwell myself has destroyed any faith I had in my profession’s leaders. I used to think that deep down most senior clinicians acted because they had the best interests of the patient, their colleagues & society at heart. That illusion is gone. 1/n
Be it the treatment of those with #MECFS #LongCovid #Fibromyalgia #POTS #MCAS #EDS #HSD #PansPandas #Lyme #FQtoxicity #vaccineinjuries & other so-called invisible illnesses; 2/n
the refusal of senior medics to stand up & protect colleagues, the public & schoolchildren from airborne spread of #SARSCoV2 as they are too afraid to displease those in the ivory towers of infection control, @UKHSA & @NHSE management & @UKgovcomms; 3/n
the abrogation of decency, moral spine, principles & ‘first do no harm’ is spectacular. I am completely disillusioned. There are a few brave voices who continue to speak up & do the right thing but for the others, the need to maintain the imbalance of power 4/n
and ensure that their egos remain satisfied & their positions intact is of prime importance. Everything else is secondary. People may die & become disabled as a result; they will not budge. We are collateral damage; our loss is worth it. #MedTwitter #MedEd #TeamGP #psychtwitter
(Request- please spare me the ‘now you know’ & ‘serve you right’ comments. I have always tried to battle the status quo. I never fit in anywhere; have never held a senior management position in 23 yrs of practice).
