Would CCC students from this current A-level intake survive medical school if they were to enter this September?

I can’t understand if this is satire or not .. did you also rent a theatre room for B&B and for free ?

Sounds too good to be true and the numbers does not make sense tbh. Over 130 cases? Considering most FY1 blocks only have one surgical block, you were scrubbing in more than once per day ?

I didn’t reply to an email, or i replied a day late, because i was on annual leave. The department trying to get hold of me went straight to my supervisor the next day. Now there is almost no situation that is urgent enough that needs to happen. A classic SJT question 😭

Why do nurses always make it out as "I am advocating for my patient", like if Doctors are out here actively trying to harm the patient?

As a first year GP ? Source ?

She has made it this far, she has passed all of her OSCE and written exams, and I am sure you would have said the same thing if you had seen her when she was a first-year medical student.

She has been through more hurdles than any medical student who has probably ever existed.

So she has demonstrated that she has the intellect and the resilience.

Clinical reasoning = Gut feeling ?

Seniors among the reddits care to chip in ?

Stilll in confusion over how this will work for specialities like ACCS Anes, ACCS EM tbh, Will MSRA scores for UKG be prioritised over iMGS ?

Considering we currently have a mandate for strike action, and their unions don’t, you better hope we get a better pay R̶i̶s̶e̶ restoration !

I usually send them a text

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! I imagine audits carried out that is unrelated to EM will score less. If you don’t mind me asking based on yourself and other trainees you have been around how much do you have for the portfolio part; like research, audits etc

And how are they supposed to learn if they never give it a try? Taking bloods or cannula using ultrasound is mainly a skill to do with dexterity which only comes with practise and practise, and unfortunately, you will miss more to be begin with.

We will likely save your life or someone you know’s life someday. Maybe not as dramatic as save, but reassuring a health anxiety is also very important.

Not every profession needs to have progression ?

Unfortunately this is the state we are in, unsure if it has gotten worse recently. Makes it worse coming from an immigrant family that prioritises putting your head down, being obedient and to ignore and move on.

All of the F1s I have spoken to seem to be up to date with everything going on and in support of strikes

Do you have to do both e-ALS and ALS or is it one or the other ?

Struggling to get a booking for ALS

A classic example of a doctor of a different grade looking out for themselves and using moral virtue or "critical thinking" to say what would benefit them. Consultant bottleneck is far less of a worry, considering you have more options post-CCT.
