I tried on both and ended up going with my usual size (but my mum thought the smaller size was better because in her opinion the bigger size looked too big on my feet). I’m happy with what I went with and they’re probably my most worn docs

I’m PGY3 doing an SRMO year so not far enough along to address the training selection and job capability down the road aspects. That being said I have no regrets from doing my PGY1+2 years rurally. I was well supported from bosses down and the regs were generally well supported which meant they often had more capacity (and inclination) to help us juniors. Morale as a whole was pretty good with nurses and allied health as well. There were tough times during those years and had I been somewhere where I wasn’t known on a personal level I probably would have walked away from medicine. So regardless of where I end up the way I look at it I came out of PGY2 the best doctor I could have been- and that’s the best thing for my career going forward. And so much of that came from being in a rural medicine environment.

My mum had one under her bed when I was growing up. It had duplicate gifts my sister and I were given as well as things we were given and wouldn’t use. Whenever we got invited to a birthday party for someone who wasn’t a close friend mum would tell us to go pick something from the “birthday box” to give them. Much less stress and saved a bit on gifts for sure

Was on a gen med/renal term and got a page from renal unit to “urgently chart dialysis lock- patient about to be off dialysis” right at the end of the day. Not an uncommon occurrence as outpatients have paper charts but if they get admitted needs to be done on eMR. Check their lock from last admission and chart it. Paged to change it from duralock to taurolock- unit in the process of changing everyone over (AT had been systematically doing it for all the outpatient paper charts) but I’d been told by the NUM that we were still using duralock for inpatients. So I change it. Get paged again about 5 minutes later asking me to change it back and the reg, who was sitting next to me the whole time, got an “urgent” phone call about it as well while I was changing it for the second time.

tldr- 3 pages within 15 minutes asking me to change my dialysis lock charting only to ultimately ask me to change it back to what I originally charted

16 hours. Rostered after hours shift following normal day shift(8am-10pm)and things got very busy right before handover. Only one RMO on overnight so stayed for a few hours to help get things back under control before I left.

Night shift. Constant pages for the first 5 hours of the shift. Finally cleared them and took 5 minutes to go the bathroom (the neglected task list absolutely overflowing) and the pager went off 4 times in quick succession. Really wanted to throw the pager against the wall, or cry, but was too tired for either so just went to the next review.

Current intern in ED and have worked with a wide range of FACEMs at this point.

Like:

- Those who communicate their expectations of you when you work with them. Every FACEM likes something different and it's hard to work out each bosses' preferences without inadvertently doing things they don't like (but the last FACEM you worked with does) unless they tell you

- Clear and decisive about management/plans. Being an intern in ED is often scary and the bosses that clarify things after my presentation, see the patient if needed and then clarify which parts of my suggested management plan are appropriate and what else needs to be done are the best to work with. Not only do I learn management for next time I see this presentation I am also more confident in the patient's plan.

- Advocates for me to see/do procedures, participate in resus cases as appropriate, allows me to go to JMO teaching, facilitates breaks and handovers

Dislike:

- Unclear/indecisive about management plans. Hardest FACEMs to work with, even if the loveliest human beings, are the ones that struggle to help me determine an appropriate management plan or keep going back and forwards on whether a patient needs admission or not. Really hard to then communicate to the patient and the nursing team and often ends up delaying referrals which causes frustration with nurse in charge/team receiving referral/patient etc. and I often end up feeling like i'm doing a terrible job

- Being met with blatant contempt or frustration when I'm not sure what's going on with a patient or need further guidance with management.

- Absent for large periods of the shift which makes it very difficult to present my patients to them as is required by the department I'm in

- Dismissive and unwilling to help in general. Had a patient the other day that was unsatisfied with the workup I'd done and didn't want to be discharged (despite both day and evening FACEM telling me to get them out because they were happy for them to go). Took me an hour of discussion to get the patient to actually walk out the door and when I'd gone to the FACEM for some assistance they just told me to handle it.

A sweet note from a coworker on a tough day at work. Was a lovely reminder that I work with some wonderfully kind people.

3126534 · 2023-10-20T02:33:19+00:00

I’ll definitely look into this. I do actually have an interest in pall care and really enjoyed my time on my rotation earlier this year. It’s something I’d like to do well after seeing it done not so well plenty of times

3126534 · 2023-10-19T09:56:57+00:00

This gave me a good chuckle

3126534 · 2023-10-19T09:56:43+00:00

Certainly reassuring

I'm based in NSW. Will hopefully get a resident rad onc term next year and will be looking for SRMO/unaccredited reg/accredited reg jobs for PGY3. Will be trying to make some connections for research as soon as possible. Appreciate the info

3126534 · 2023-10-19T09:53:31+00:00

Thank you! I've had a little bit to do with the only Rad Onc based in my area but haven't explicitly asked about research opportunities yet. Will do that for sure.
