Dan's initial post was met with a barrage of responses from his followers, with one writing: "People really need to use a bit of intelligence and not add unnecessary strain to a crumbling service. A&E is not the place for a broken finger."

Following his update about his daughter’s injury, Dan wrote: "Twitter is odd sometimes. Some people are angry about the mention of shift length. I'm not 'amazed' she's doing 13 hours - my sister is a nurse and does it all the time. I used to do whooping great shifts 6 days a week. Nothing wrong with working hard."
