Junior doctors are sharing moving stories of their most unforgettable moments at work to show people how emotional the job can be.
Inspired by the popular blog Humans of New York, where photographer Brandon Stanton pairs images of ordinary New Yorkers with touching anecdotes about their lives, the Doctors of the NHS Facebook page aims to capture the real stories of those working on the frontline of medicine.
Doctors, or people who have a memory about a doctor, can anonymously upload a picture and their story to the page.
Amid an ongoing dispute over a new contract the government has said it will impose on junior doctors next summer, campaigners Dr Marie-Estella McVeigh, Dr Ben White, and Dr Nadia Masood, who set up the page, felt it was important to represent the emotional ups and downs they face every day.
"People don't always get to see the realities of it all for a doctor, and the emotional toll that it takes," McVeigh told BuzzFeed News.
"We've all been through so many things with patients that we'll never forget. They're like little scars.
On Wednesday 9 March, doctors will undertake a second round of industrial action with the first of three planned 48-hour strikes, but they are keen to use the page to show that the dispute is not simply over pay and working hours.
"We wanted people to see why our work is so important to us," McVeigh said.
In one widely shared post, an A&E doctor recalls treating three teenagers who'd survived a car crash in which two of their friends had died.
"We had to ask the youngest (the only one awake), who was sitting where in order to identify them," the doctor writes. "Who were the ones in the resus room? Who hadn't made it?"
The doctor then describes the harrowing experience of telling a parent their child is not going to survive: "I'll never forget having to explain to his mum her son was never going to make it, then turning off the machine while these two parents looked on in disbelief and devastation in the early hours of Sunday morning."
The doctor cried afterwards, and eight years later was prompted to share their story to the page after finding the coroner's report from that night, which made them cry again.
But, they said, doctors are "privileged to have this special relationship".
"The NHS is not perfect but it allows us to treat the patient as an individual and not as a cost calculation," they wrote. "We are humanitarians and came into the job for this purpose."
McVeigh told BuzzFeed News that the page also allowed doctors to support each other in their experiences. "We all work such busy hours that we don’t have much of a chance to talk the things that we go through," she said.
"You spend a lot of time feeling quite isolated and go through so much stuff that you don't have time to talk about and process," she said.
"You don't get a debrief after a horrific experience or having seen something terrible."
McVeigh's favourite post is one in which a cancer doctor describes his experience caring for young patients. "He says he loves his job but it rakes his soul, and that’s exactly how I feel about my job," she said.
She said the post accurately describes the amount of passion and dedication a lot of doctors put into their careers, which she doesn't feel has always been portrayed in the public eye throughout the contract dispute.
"Most of us made the decision to become a doctor when we were children and we've dedicated our entire lives to this," McVeigh said. "We wanted to be able to show people how much this job means to us.
"We want to be able to help people."
