Answer: Because most #doctors who see patients all day know nothing about #COVID & even less about #longCOVID. They are ~17 years behind #scientists. If they were at all familiar with the #science they'd be wearing #respirators.

Who are the Resident Doctors & why are they going on strike (agains)?
Here's Charlotte Tomlinson's discussion of the issue, putting the timeline of over a decade of failed settlements at its centre & making clear that any discussion of the Resident Doctors dispute with the NHS needs to be put into this long(er) historical context, if we are to understand the dispute!

Actually, it's been years that #doctors have observed #Trump's mental deterioration, & sleep disturbances are "clinical signs of #dementia."
For months, the president has faced questions about his physical and mental health. He’s been nursing swollen ankles & heavy bruising on his hands, and experts have warned that his nonsensical speeches and mental lapses are clinical signs of dementia. To make things worse, nobody really knows when the president sleeps."
"In a recent study, gastroenterologists who used A.I. to detect polyps during colonoscopies got significantly worse at finding polyps themselves."

Dutch newspaper #DeVolkskrant @span volkskrant published the most comprehensive overview of what medical #doctors working in #Gaza have to say about the children they are trying to take care of, as good as possible.
»Nearly all of them want to return to Gaza. But going public with what they’ve seen increases the risk that #Israel will deny them reentry. According to the United Nations, more than one hundred foreign medical workers have been turned away since March 2025 — often without any official explanation.
Many doctors have come to accept this threat. Being silent is not an option.«
This is a long read, and probably unbearable for many.
Content Warning / CW: The article contains many descriptions and photographs of severe wounds inflicted upon children, as well as photographs of corpses.

South Korea’s trainee doctors have begun returning to hospitals, ending an unprecedented 18-month walkout that had left operating rooms short-staffed, procedures postponed and patient backlogs growing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/02/asia-pacific/society/south-korean-doctors-end-walkout/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #southkorea #doctors
@Ehay2k @bendelarre Is it preferable to show up, see the waiver, say "Sorry, I don't sign these, guess I'm leaving now?"
@pluralistic @bendelarre
Would this be an option?: Show up, get the consultation, and then after you have at least started the relationship, ask about arbitration? To me, this is more about timing - asking about litigation before you've even seen the Dr. may come off to them as "Can I more easily sue you?"
Are there any #doctors out there who can chime in? Do you feel that arbitration agreements protect Drs. from frivolous lawsuits? (I am not in favor either way, to be clear. )
One father who was acquitted of causing his son’s death said that Dr. Nancy Harper’s abuse diagnosis attached a stigma to him, caused him and his wife PTSD and robbed them of the chance to say a proper goodbye to their son.
Texas Senate Approves Legislation to Clarify Exceptions to Abortion Ban. But Experts Fear Confusion Would Persist.
—
Following ProPublica’s reporting, Republicans acknowledged women were denied care because medical providers were unsure what Texas’ abortion ban allowed. But the new legislation doesn’t remove what doctors say are the biggest impediments to care.
