A man just collapsed at the ATL airport. Unresponsive. Not breathing. Turning blue. All in an instant, strangers raced to his aid—some administering CPR, others grabbing the defibrillators nearby—as several of us stood praying. After a scary minute or so, he kicked a leg and started breathing, It would be another 5 minutes before paramedics arrived on the scene. Were it not for the immediate action taken by those strangers—people who knew nothing about this man, people who would soon scatter to their own destinations, people this man will never get the opportunity to thank—he would be dead right now, headed to the morgue instead of home to his family. A vivid reminder of our shared humanity. One I won’t soon forget.

Horrific treatment of #BawaGarba - well done @gmcuk - already terribly low morale and underfunding, now you're scapegoating a trainee for taking on extra responsibility from absent colleagues 🤷🏻‍♀️

Crystal clear overview of the tragedy of the #BawaGarba case and how a genuine #noblame culture coupled with rigorous analysis leads to long-term improvement. xitter.cf/matthewsyed/status/958…
Open Access on #BawaGarba. How can doctors be open about error when their candour is used to incriminate them? thetimes.co.uk/article/jack-…

Should all Junior Doctors now resign to avoid future conviction for manslaughter #BawaGarba? They all work in similar dangerous systems conducive to clinical errors. This is a terrible day for everyone dailymail.co.uk/news/article… @djnicholl #DavidSellu @DrUmeshPrabhu

The #BawaGarba case has resulted in an unsupported doctor working in appalling conditions being removed from the medical register. Now the GMC owes it to us to tell us exactly what she should have done differently. And I don't mean a lot of woolly and meaningless claptrap........ – at North West, England

If you’ve tweeted, re-tweeted or just looked on in horror at the clusterf*ck of the #BawaGarba case & the damage it will do to patient safety (& already-battered junior doctor morale), please, pull out your wallet & support this crowdfund.

Does Charlie Massey know that scapegoating, persecution and trial by media does the exact opposite of encouraging a speak-up culture? #iamhadiza

So a Dr with an "unblemished career" has lost her livelihood because of chronic understaffing. Every junior doctor working in the #NHS today has been in this situation. She has been made a scapegoat for things out of her control. Absolute disgraceful ruling #iamhadiza #BawaGarba

I emailed the clinical director once as a medical SHO stating the shift was unsafe: he forwarded it to every consultant in the hospital and I felt shamed for 'making a fuss'. I left hospital medicine. This could have been any of us in a failing system. #iamhadiza

This doctor has been scapegoated for a massive system failing. This is a travesty. #iamhadiza google.co.uk/amp/s/www.newst…

I wonder if Dr Bawa-Garba was a middle class white male doctor, instead of a black hijabi with a foreign accent, would she have been subjected to the same treatment by the GMC and the courts? #IAmHadiza #NHS

It is desperately sad a young boy lost his life in such circumstances, but I doubt we will ever see a clearer case of scapegoating an individual for systemic failings for a very long time #iamhadiza

Trainee returning from mat leave given job of 2 people, unsupported by senior, and is scapegoated when things go wrong. Reflective learning held against her. Dreadful treatment by GMC #IAmHadiza
