The operating room is a hostile environment for surgeons. 38% of surgeons are in pain. 87% if using an endoscope. A primer on surgical ergonomics to save you suffering 🧵

Rishi Sunak said today at #PMQs that rising NHS waiting lists is down to industrial action. Well how about the last 13 years of rising waiting lists?
graph depicting the rise in the number of people on NHS waiting lists for consultant-led elective care from august 2007 to May 2023. The graph shows there has been a consistent rise from 2008 and way before the start of industrial action by the BMA at the end of 2022.

Thanks @Jeremy_Hunt Question for @hmtreasury (under FOIA) How much has average pay(%) changed vs CPI since 08/09 - 22/23 for “junior”doctors, consultants & “all workers” & other relevant @ONS comparables 👇? RT to see if really “everyone”. 2 answers below. Are they right?

Replying to @Jeremy_Hunt
We get that they are angry at the way inflation has eroded their pay (as it has done for everyone). But if we give them an award that fuels inflation, we will just have the same disputes next year.
